RED GUERRILLAS KIDNAP THREE US. MISSIONARIES

SAIGON, South viet Nam R = A Communist guerrilla band at- tackled leper colony in remote region 150 miles northeast of Sai- gon Wednesday night and kid- naped three American mission aries.
 The missionaries were members of the Christian and Missionary AL iiiance.
 The Rev. Thomas c. Mangham, director of the alliance, identified them as: A. E. Mitchell, of By, Oregon; Daniel Gerber, of Penn sylvarlia; and a woman, Dr. E. A. Vietty, of Houston Tex.
 Nine other Americans at the camp including four women nurses and Mitchell's wife and four children were not molested.
 The Rev. Mitchell was the only survivor of a Japanese fire bomb explosion that killed six picnickers in southern Oregon in World War II. ;
 The six were apparently the only victims Of direct enemy attack on the continental United States during the war.
 The Rev. Mitchell's first wife was one of the explosion victims. The couple took five children from the Christian Missionary Alliance Church in By on a picnic in the mountains on May 5, 1945.
 As the Rev. Mitchell recounted the story at the time:
 As got out of my car to bring the lunch, the others were not far away and called to me they had found something that looked like balloon. I had heard of Japanese balloons so shouted a warning not to touch it.
 ssBut just then there was big explosion. ran up there and they were all dead. 2
 The Rev. Mitchell married the former Betty Patzke of By some years after the war.

 Secretary of Labor Arthur Gold berg, in commenting on the figures, said in a statement that the fact that employment is at record levels and that unemployment is con- tinuing to go down is encouraging and shows a continued improve nent in the economy

962-Record Year

The nations leading economists
are predicting a record-breaklng
year in most respects. Their opin-
ion is that all major indicators of
the economy will advance in 1862,
with many of them setting new re-
cords. These indicators include
Gross National Product, Federal
Reserve Index of Industrial Pro
duction, business inventories, and
construction work. Stock analysts
believe that the Dow-Jones Indus
trial Average will reach new high.
Stocks for potential price ap-
probation include Texas Gas Sui
phur, Whirlpool Corporation, STAN
dard Oil (N.J), Bendix Corpora
ton, Dow Chemical, and F. w.
Woolworth. Recommended stocks
for safety and income are Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph,
Idaho Power, Sears, Roebuck &
Company, and us. Tobacco. Com
panies with substantial rates of re-
turn include Bethlehem Steel and
Best & Company. blue chip"
stocks bring to mind du Pont,
American Tel & Tel, Standard Oil

Kodiak Business
Leads Upswing

The business population of Ko-
diak increased a whopping eight
per cent during 1861, according TO
statistics released this week by w.
H. Berry, district manager of the
Seattle office of Dun & Bradstreet,
Inc.
Basing his facts on physical
count of the current edition of the
Dun & BradStreet Reference Book,
Berry reports that at the close of
1861, there were SO listings as COM
pard with but rs in 1860 in Kodiak.
TIL Kodiak increase was the lar
gest among the five principal COM
munities of the state during the
past year. The overall state picture
shows 1861 increase of 3 per
cent.
Using the Dun & Bradstreet
Hstings as guide, the following
business populations changes were
shown: Kodiak, per cent increase;
Juneau 5 per cent increase; Ketchi-
kan, 4 per cent increase; Anchor
age, 4 per cent decrease; Fair
banks, 7 per cent decrease.

Reflections
try was in good hands.

Throughout the three day con-
ference it became apparent that
the training of our youth is in good
hands. This was notably demon
strated in indoctrination and tour
at the United States Marine Corps
Training Center at San Diego
where the young recruits went
through a rigorous body building
schedule involving obstacle cours-
es, lifting and lowering buckets of
sand, and hand-to-hand combat
with padded sticks. We were told
that the average Marine during
this training consumes 1900 calor-
les day, and it was evident that
he had to with the amount of en-
ergy he expended.
Aboard an Aircraft Carrier, we
were told by the skipper that 95
per cent of the boys, many of whom
are teenagers, gave no trouble The
5 per cent had to be disciplined.
Some of them would alter their I'D
cards to make them older, SO they
could drink with the older boys.

Perhaps 'the poisoner" objects to
dog manure even two miles out
side the city! The poisoned food
was apparently carefully spread
out so that both dogs would get
some. Two other dogs also died
near our front yard.

outside for over a week. I'm still
scared. know my kids aren't much
fussier than those dogs.
Loving the dogs very dearly we
were physically sick to see them
die in such a way If this person
simply wanted to kill our dogs why
didn't he shoot. At least it's kinder.
You speak of dogs as property.
Our dogs were valued at $500. 1t
wasn't the money we thought of as
they died. Believe me dogs can
mean more to people than proper
ty.
If you still have anything to say
in defense of this maniac, let me
know.

His form of discipline in instances
of this and of a similar nature was
to put the boy in three day con-
finement when he would be served
nothing but baby food. The ex-
IRENE punishment, he said should
he repeat, would be to put him in
diapers.
The group watched war fought
on sandtable, complete with can
non fire and bomb dropping: they
saw an interesting DISPLAY of I'M

Letter to the Editor
Dear "Sig's Neighbor,"

Dear "Sig's Neighbor,"
can not understand how any,
one can defend "the poisoner."
Obviously you don't know all the
facts concerning this menace to
society.
In the first place this person
doesn't care what or who he kills.
Anyone clever enough to get away
with the killings this long must
realize that eventually it may be a
child who takes the bait. Most
parents know how unfussy young
children are about eating anything
which appears eatable-or gobbling
handfuls of snow when playing out.
More than once I've watched my
children in cold fear after seeing
them with mouthful of snow.
If you'd seen dogs die the agoniz-
ing death this stuff causes you'd
realize what horror it would be Cor
will be- when a child gets into il.
You hint strongly that "the
poisoner" is trying only to protect
his property from dogs. We live
two miles outside the city limits.
Our dogs never roamed far away.
The female was so huge with pup
pies she was hardly leaving her
bed. Yet when we put them out
for the night it wasn't fifteen
minutes until they were both hav-
ing commissions and near death.

Answer-Horizontal smoke

length, will reduce the draft

may be impossible to keep the
pipe clear of SCOT. In other
cases, the formation of such
large amounts of SCOT is due
to improper adjustment of the

sure they are open.

But advances of a scientific
age cannot be stifled, so the
bed rail was invented to hold
youngsters within reasonably
confined limits. The two pro-
truding arms slide beneath
the mattress of a bed to form
q remarkably sturdy barrier.
Bed rails can be purchased
but they are also very SIM
pie to construct.
Maple or oak should be
used for constructing the
rails. The top rail is dressed
down to ~ inches by n
inch. The bottom rail is ia
inches. Both are cut 361a
inches long. The holes for
the dowel rods should be
made with a 13-32-inch drill
but this size is seldom found
in home workshops. Instead,
you can use a % Inch bit and
file the ends of each rod to
form a snug fit in the holes.
Use a depth gauge on the bit
to make the holes la-inch
deep. Use a good quality
wood glue to assemble the
rails and the dowel rods.
Two of the protruding arms
are required. The small rub
Der bumpers attached to each
are available at most hard
ware stores. These grip the
mattress so that the rail
stays in place. Carriage bolts
with flat washers and wing
nuts are used to attach the
arms to the bottom rail.
The edges of the top rail
should be slightly rounded so
as to avoid the possibility OF
splinters. The assembly can
be vanished but it is more
attractive if painted with
bright enamels. Be sure to
