Happiness Housinq'

It seems from all reports in
the August IA Star, that New
Frontierswoman Marie Nc
CURE, the Public Housing
Commissioner, is sizzling with
precocious zeal about a star
spangled public housing pro-
gram that should revolution
ize our way of life.
With happiness housing"
for all (surely the benificent
Public Housing Commissioner
wouldn't deny the overbur-
dened, underprivileged tax
payer accommodations in
these posh PADS we can forget
the rent worries or mortgage
payments and relax around
the swimming pools and
bowling alleys-leave the
youngsters at the conven-
iently provided nursery and
meet the gang at the snack
bar.
Furthermore, we can be
proud to enter these luxuri-
Gus establishments, which
will no doubt resemble the
legged-aquarium type struc-
lures so popular among the
leading architects" No more
of this unimaginative design
to desecrate the horizons of
the New Frontier! Mrs. Nc
CURE will scrap the tight
(and expensive) specifica-
tons that have, in the past,
been incorporated into public
housing developments to
make them somewhat resist
ant to the depredations Of
their inhabitants.
One thing troubles me,
however. Who will collect the
litter from the lawns and
shrubbery of these ''happi-
ness houses" while we in
mates cavort in our subsi-
died recreational facilities?
Litter just doesn't seem to
fit into this picture but cold
realism leads me to believe it
will still be there.
Recently. when I suggested
to our local housing author
ity that it was time to start
an anti-litter campaign in
our housing projects involv-
ing the inhabitants in the
responsibility for maintain
ing at least an outward ap-
pearance of cleanliness and
order, their public relations
director suggested brightly
that local citizens associa-
lions might offer prizes.
Just who will be left to
offer the prizes when all of
us are ensconced in the "hap-
piness house" of our choice?
Who will be left top? Oh
dash those bothersome ques-
lions! Let someone else an
Swer them, or let the answers
reveal themselves a genera
ton or so hence. Meanwhile,
how do we qualify for prior
tiles on the list?

so Years Ago

FEMINIST Jane adams Qe-
pertinent as a politician was
not altogether popular so
years ago. The Star of Au-
gust %, 1912, said one male
who didn't like the idea was
DR.. Charles William Eliot,
who was president of Har-
ward when Theodore Roose-
welt was a student there. DR..
Eliot was critical of the role
Miss Adams played at the
Chicago convention of the
new Progressive Party, when
she seconded the nomination
Of T. R. Said DR.. Eliot: Miss
Adams received a great deal
of acclaim when she sec
onded Mr.. RooSevelt's NOM
nation. 1t was a very spec
tacular proceeding, but it
was in very bad taste. I am
just old-fashioned enough to
condemn absolutely this
movement among the women
for such public participation.
I have no patience with their
spectacular efforts to adj
vance women's rights. I be-
heve woman's greatest right
is to be loved and to serve.
I believe the highest and
most normal type is content
to be reserved, modest and to
exert her influence through
the medium of her men folks.
Men ought to be able to
regulate their own politics to
meet all needs, without di-
rect assistance from
women. :"
Two Of baseball's all-time
greats" Walter johnson
and Cy Young, shared the
sports page headlines so
years ago. The Star of Au-
gust "a, 1912. reported John
son had won his 10th game
in a row for the Senators
and his 18th of the season.
The Senators then were in
second place, behind the Bos-
ton Red Sox. having won IA
and lost As. Cy Young, chris
tened Denton Tecumseh
Young, was hanging up his
glove after % years in the
majors. during which he won
500 games against 300 losses.
He won more than 80 games
in each of five seasons and
had II seasons when he won
20 or more.

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
The Bomb
By DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

DOLuD Is the most 1ear-
haunted word in human Ian
guage. To bring the fearful
discovery wrapped up in that
word under human control
is the one question in the
presence of which all other
considerations pale into sec
ondary Importance.
1t is the glory of America
that persistently and patient
~, with a sense of destiny,
she has proved her eagerness
to join in any genuine en-
deavor to save mankind from
the catastrophe conse-
quences made possible by the
atomic bomb. When the his
tory Of these times is written
if there be a historian in
the future 1T will be written
with a pen dipped in the
self-denying truth that the
United States of America,
when she alone had the
atomic know-how, putting
her in the drivers seat of the
goth century, offered to re-
nounce the power that exclu-
sive possession gave her and
to place all the possibilities
of the split atom in the
hands of international au-
thority. This, which was per-
haps the most magnanimouS
offer of the centuries, Russia
answered with her customary
"nyet." 1t is at her slammed
door that the sole RESPONSE
bility for mans present peril
rests.
If any President we're will
ing, for the sake Of a spuri-
Gus peace, to allow the pre-
ponderance Of this earth
wrecking energy to be in the
hands Of a system without
pity or conscience, he would
be Surrendering all that is
American to the serfdom of
all that is RuSSian-he would
be the last President, and the
writer of the epitaph of this
last best hope of man. The
most ruthless bully Of the
ages, with bomb in hand,
would then say to Washing
ton, Your liberty or your
life"
But this is not going to
happen! With a more deadly
weapon-the bomb of the fu-
ture - we are going to win
against this abomination
which denies God and de-
grades man. That bomb was
not discovered by any ma
ton. It's name is truth! What
is called the iron curtain is
an attempt to keep out the
truth. The astronomical
amounts spent for jamming
broadcaStS laden with facts
refute much that is
in indoctrination drills
behind that curtain, is de-
signed to bar the truth.
With all the new and mas
sive Soviet educational prof.
ects there is a vast ignor-
ance among the millions of
splendid Russian people. A
group Of expert American
journalists after weeks of
travel in that coerced regime
are now reporting in a series
of articles. They speak of a
vacuum Of ignorance" They
tell Of a vast nation being
taught the things that are
not so, of a people who, for
the most part, know only
what the government wants
them to know about other
countries.
These journalists tell us
that the warm, sensitive, and
incredibly misinformed Rus
SLAMS ask outsiders-such as
Americans in their midst
why is it that you are pre-
pairing to attack us? Why are
you so hostile to all that we

playing field during the last
innings of the recent New
York = Washington double
header delayed play until the
umpires threatened to for
felt the game if the incidents
were not stopped. These in
terruptions were bothersome,
but the general attitude of
the $4,000 fans strikingly I'M
derscored a serious flaw in
the public conscience.
Until the umpires issued
their ultimatum, the fans
greeted the boys actions with
interest and approval. The
youths were cheered while
the guards and ushers were
vigorously booed. Two boys
leaped back into the stands
and were congratulated as
they passed among the spec

troublemaker and then ply

suing stadium usher.
Isn't this attitude the same
attitude which last winter
permitted almost 80 paSsen-
gers on a d. C. Transit Co.
bus to sit passively in their
seats while the driver was
beaten and robbed? Isn't this
the same attitude which
permits motorists to speed
reckleSsly through streets and
ignore parking regulations if
there is a good probability
that they will not be caught?
Isn't this the attitude which
has designated policemen as
"fuzz" in contemporary
slang?
When citizens have respect
for law and authority If only
represented by ushers in a
public stadium, the trend
toward increasing disorder
and violence in our streets
and parks will be reversed.

.JaVcees Star! Drive For Backboards For The Arnorv

The Nome Javcees have started a drive to obtain funds to purchase new backboards and blackboard support brackets for the new ar morv.
 The kickoff for the drive will come from two dances to be held Friday and Saturday nights, Aug. 10 and II at the Armory Paul Harper and his Western band will play for the dances.
 The State recently installed q brand new floor in the Armorv. The local people will have to put up funds for anything else that is to be done
 The Armory has given Nome a modern basketball court, which is in college dimensions. This will give the City a new outlook on basketball as it will open the game up and will reduce the ad- vantage that height and good shooting give players in the school gym, which is much smaller. It will bring out the need for intri- cate maneuvers and patterns for which basketball is famous. It will reduce the body contact and rough play which has been the bug g-a-boo of our home town basketball, sim ply because of the floor being too small and the players too big. It will also put far more emphasis on player condition.
 Any and all donations will be welcomed. Direct your donations to George Bell at the M & M Bank, to Bob Harwood at the Nome Drug Store, or to Barrow Morgan at Morgan & Son.
 All the profits from the dances will be for tie fund
 MT. Harper advises they will play all types of music. so all persons can find their place.
 Your support is neeed. If you don't dance, your donation is re quested. If you do dance, go to the dance where your admission fee will be in support of the cause.
