The White House yesterday
added Q historical footnote to
President Kennedy's wartime
service 90 o PIT boat COM
mander In the Pacific. It con-
firIaed the identity Of an Aus
tralian credited with saving
Mr.. Kennedy's life after his
boat was slashed In two by O
Japanese destroyer.
The name Of the Australian
had been left in obscurity be-
cause Of wartime security re-
strictions, although Mr.. Ken
nedy had Q handwritten note
from him In Q frame on his
office wall.
Identity Cleared
But It turned out that q
signature which . secretary
thought was "a. Rhinaus" &C.
tually was that Of A. n. Evans,
now . resident Of sydney. Aus
tralia.
Back In l943 when Mr.. Ken
nedy and his torpedo boat
crewmen needed help. Mr.,
Evans was O lieutenant in the
Royal Australian Navy Yolurl-
teer Reserve.
The President, the White
House said, was writing Mr..
Evans, now an accountant, q
personal letter.
In Q 1914 story Author John
Hersey attributed the rescue
Of Mr.. Kennedy to q lit. Win
cote" which was a code name
used at the time to conceal the
identity of the rescuer. When
the rescuer's note was tran
scribed on Q typewriter for
framing by then Senator Ken
nedy it vas incorrectly given
as A. Rhinaus.
Last December Mr.. Evans,
In an interview with q Sydney
newspaper columnist, identi-
fled himself as the man who
was responsible for the rescue
Of Mr.. Kennedy. He cited his
log at the time and said che

Demonstration

Bow Magic" a program of
amazing precision with the bow
and arrow and creating a new
interest in a revived sport, was
presented by The Gordons in
the gymnasium of the John Bas-
sett Moore High School Mon
day morning. The exciting dem
onstration by Duke Gordon, as
sisted by his wife, Helen, of
bow and arrow shooting thrilled
the youthful audience, and the
participation by William Hor-
Iney, coach, and Brandy Jones
and Phyllis Segars, students,
added to the pleasure. A mem
Der of the National Field Arch
cry Association at Redlands,
California, Gordon said that
archery has been advanced as
a means of combating juvenile
delinquency. He started arch
cry as hobby, is one of the
country's leading trick artists,
and has served as master of
ceremonies at the National
Archery Field Tournament in
Hot Springs, Arkansas. His run
ming commentary was colorful
and captivated the audience.
Referring to increased interest
in the sport he said that five
million now participate in the
family sport. He has a collec-
ton of ancient bow and arrows
valued in excess of $4,000. Tel
evision and movie personalities
are among the ardent archers,
he said. He has two Chinese
bows 300 years old. He admon-
ished the audience that there
is no such thing as a toy bow
and arrow. Gordon stated that

tertainment media it will be an

strong, with an edge so sharp that
the pull of the woman's weight
severed her finger from her hand.
The writer of the news item, COM
menting upon this strange accid-
ent, said, ut is not often that
ladies meet physical disaster by
the wedding-ring route, but, judg-
ing by divorce statistics, lot OF
them have other troubles with
them"
How true are these words! 1t is
a tragic fact that in our age many
have come to regard marriage as
little more than short-term con-
tract which may be broken at will
when the first cloud OF marital
discord comes to darken the hori-
zon. Seldom now does marriage en-
dure like mothers did. This again
suggests the thought that marri-
ages may be much like the rings
given in marriage The old-fash-
Toned ring seems to wear better
than the modern type. Instead OF
being wide and strong, rings now
in vogue are made of fragile light
weight stuff Can you imagine a
woman hanging to a clOthes-line
hook by the thread-thin ring OF to-
day? 1t would not hold. 1t breaks
too easily and like it many modern
marriages snap under the first
strain.
And what is the cause? Why do
we have so many broken homes?
Some affirm that the paths to the
divorce courts are trodden smooth
by many feet because marriages
are contracted in undue and alarm
ing haste. Others maintain that
the nuptial bonds are SO quickly
broken because differences in tenn
perment, religion and social back
grounds are not given sufficient
pre-marital consideration. All are
true and other things of kindred
kind might be adduced to show
why the yoke of matrimony is
tossed SO lightly and so quickly
from many shoulders.
The real reason, however, lies
deeper The real reason why SO
many wedding rings are broken is
because God has not been made a
partner in this union of man and
wife. Where both husband and wife
make a real effort to conform their
living into harmony with His will
and His commandments that marri-
age will endure. True, storms at
times may also assail such home,
but it will go down for it is built
upon a rock.
