My recent trip to the Orient
turned into something very per-
sonal before it was over. I re-
lived some of the most dra-
matte moments of my life, and
fulfilled a pledge I made to my
self 20 years ago: That some
day I'd actually get to Canton
Island, the od-forsaken place
I was trying to find in 1912
when my plane was forced
down in the Pacific.
After leaving Japan we went
down through Southeast Asia,
Australia and New Zealand, the
Fits. Then over to American
Samoa, where I was taken
after those three weeks on a
life raft. First, we had been
taken to Funafuti in the Phoe-
nix group and then to Page
Pago in Samoa, where the Navy
had a hospital.)
The Seabees had moved into
Funafuti just two weeks before
I was brought there. Maj. Gen.
Charles Price was head of the
Marines in Samoa, who were
supposed to hold Samoa as the
last bulkhead against a Japa-
nese invasion of Hawaii and
then mainland America.
When I was in Samoa in AZ
I had made friends with an old
tribal chief. The old man has
since died but his two sons,
now chiefs themselves, were on
hand to meet me with a native
guard of honor on hand.
We left Samoa for our spe-
cial visit to Canton Island, an
eight-mile by two-mile atoll in
the Phoenix group. Although
the Phoenix is a British group,
Canton Island in 1899 was
placed under joint United
States British administration,
and, even more oddly, made
part Of Honolulu county over
1900 miles away.
Nightmare Recalled
We landed on the island and
found 1t now has a Mercury
tracking station. There is an
S,000-foot landing strip. long
enough for a Jet. 1t is used
mostly by the military.
Finding Canton Island after
20 years brought back to me
that nightmare in the sea. Il
never knew how far from Can
ton we had been. The boys at
Funafuti, the Phoenix Island
we were first brought to, said
we were heading for the Fits.
We had drifted past several is
lands without seeing them. }

Dear Abby: Last night,

1t is ridiculous enough to
be true.
DEAR ABBY: 1 was. told
not to wear black to a we'd

. Pacific Nightmare ReIived
v CAPT. EDDIE RICKENBACKER

CAPT. EDDIE RICkENBACKE
1t wasn't until the 18th day
that I saw a couple of airplanes
fly over. They didn't see us, of
course, although I yelled as
loud as I could and waved my
hat. The same thing happened
every day from then on-planes
flying past us without seeing
us.
Finally, on the oath day, at
about 8 or 4 o'clock in the aft
ernoon, as I judged from the
position of the sun, two of the
planes went by and went into
a little front. The fronts down
there are about 10000 feet high.
In ten minutes they were back,
got right over us, and started
to circle.
I said, they got U.S." and for
three hours I waved my hat
just to let them know there
was someone alive in the raft.
One of the planes left about
an hour later, to his home
base, I presumed. The other
one, as the sun was going down.
finally dropped a flare and
landed. 1t was a Kingfisher,
single-pontoon.
They Finally Pick Us Up
He TAXED up and I padded
up to the front end. They
helped us up. There were two
men in it, the radio operator
and Bill Edie, the pilot. We put
Hans Adamson of our crew in
the cockpit because he had been
in a coma some days Che is
alive in San Francisco today .
There were three of us then,
because the other two RATS had
cut loose the day before. There
was quite an argument about
that, as you can imagine. The
two other RATS were picked up
on two different islands. There
had been eight of us to start
with but we lost one who got
to drinking salt water, a young
boy % years old, from Con-
necticut.
Although my raft was big
enough for only one person,
there were three on it. Adam
son, my aide, had the honor
position, with his legs stretched
out, because of his condition.
1 was sitting with my feet
hanging over one way, with my
fanny in the bottom soaking
wet morning, noon, and night,
with my neck on the other roll.
The radio operator lay across
the two of us diagonally. And
this was how we were for "a
days. !

/ Mr.. w. George Goodman
has built up a $400-a-month
business since his retirement
a year ago, and would like
to tell others how it's done.
IT first had to make ac-
commodation with my pride"
he says. Almost everybody
must do that after IS if he
wants to get anything done.
There are very few jobs a
retired man can slide into
that have the same level of
prestige as his career job.
Most men are embarrassed to
step down to where they
must, which is why so many
of them loaf their way to the
cemetery"
Mr.. Goodman went into the
typewriter repair business.
II worked in the office of
a large insurance company,
and had a reasonably good
desk job. One of my collateral
duties was the upkeep of all
the office equipment, which
was mostly typewriters. We
had so of them in use.
This was one of the most
troublesome chores in the
place." he continues. out
siders had to do the upkeep
jobs and we could never find
anybody who was satisfac-
tory. We tried calling in in
dividual repair men or spe-
cialty repair shops when
something broke. The cost
was high and the service
slow.
1--WE tried contract repair
service-so much per month
to keep everything running
This was no good.

Swans Find
Free Feed,
Skip Trip

STOCK H DIN (AP). -
Some 400 swans, by nature
migratory birds, have aban-
doned their natural ways for
the Swedish system of benev-
olent social democracy.
Instead of heading south
at the first sign of winter,
as any biology textbook
would have them do, they
land on the North Stream In
downtown Stockholm.
There, on a raft nnoored
just below the Opera House,
they are treated to vitamin
enriched foods, veterinary
care and, if necessary, laun-
dry service.
And the gentle currents Of
the Stream keeps the water
ice free enough for q daily
constitutional swim across to
the Royal Palace.
For more than 20 years,
the city fathers have main
tanned a number of feeding
stations for nonmigratory
birds and fowl during the in
clement winter season. Some
eight years ago. a few swans
got wise and joined the win
tering guls. terms and ducks
around the feeding raft.
Since then. the number Of
wintering swans has in
creased to about 400 by last
estimate.
The swans, along with the
gulls and ducks are fed each
morning at 8. 1t is q great
show for the tourists.
But Stockholm tourist boss
Eric Thor doesn't like it just
the same:

ance of nature" he said.

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Will
you explain how it is possible
to make a wart disappear by
using adacadabra like passing
the hands over it and numb
ling silly words? A friend
tried it on me and it worked
within weeks.-Mrs. o.
IN MANY cases warts are
caused by viruses. In others,
we don't know. Although
mumbo jumbo won't work as
often as people think it will,
pediatrician friends have told
me that it has worked in
numerous children. There's
no explanation except that
perhaps the warts were on
their way out anyway.
y -
For Mr.. W.: The fact that
you have recently had your
second severe attack of coro-
nary thrombosis doesn't mean
that you should sit around
waiting for the third fatal"
attack. In the first place, the
third attack isn't inevitably
fatal. In the second, I've
known patients who have
lived over Is years after the
second attack and never had
a third.

THE GOLDEN YEARS
Pride Lost, Reguined
In liking LowIy Job

when I moved up toward
retirement we we're still play
ing the thing hand to mouth
and about a third of our
typewriters were always on
the blink :"
Mr.. Goodman got books on
typewriters from the public
library. He wrote to the man
ufacturers of the major
brands, asking for all Itera-
ture that might help him be-
come a typewriter repair
man. He bought two second
hand models for $28, and
with about the same tools
and the same puttering urge
the normal householder has,
he took them apart to see
what made them work.
1T was pretty simple to
sell my company on the idea
that I could be its typewriter
repair man after I retired.
Its only reservation was that
I be responsible for only 20
typewriters as a starter, and
if I could handle that I could
take over all of them on
a monthly contract fee basis.
1T wasn't a kindness mat
ter. l knew of a company
problem that the company
couldn't solve. was offering
to solve it. :"
Mr.. Goodman worked out
a system on the typewriters
as soon as he took over all
so of them. He talked the
company into buying four
extra ones. One of these,
always in top shape, was
kept in a company office for
emergency replacement. The
other three were on the re-
pair circuit.

this because I lived through
such a period of excitement
on a college campus imme-
diately after Pearl Harbor.
At the start of World War
II, recalling my own expert
ence of rushing into service
when the first World War
started, I cautioned the young
men to whom I talked to
wait for instructions from
their Government. They
should wait, I said. until they
could serve their Nation in
the best positions for which
they were fitted.
Later, as a military adviser,
I helped place these men in
various types of officer train
ing and in other positions re-
quiring strong educational
background.
Trained Men Needed
With our present increased
technology, the demand for
trained men in this emer-
gency is far greater than 1t
was in any previous one. Even
industry has untitled open

demands could produce still

men and women: "Stay at
your studies unless and until
the plans of the military and
Government agencies are put
into operation"
You can best show your
patriotism and best serve
your country by showing
enough restraint to wait for
the right opportunity. The
more education you have the
better for both you and the
country.
Granted, it is difficult to
continue your studies under
the threat of interruption by
military service 1t will take
conscious effort on your part
to keep your thoughts on
mathematics, history, etc.
Here is a hint that might
help.
Take Positive Attitude
You can not make thoughts
of possible change leave your
mind just by insisting on it.
But you can fill your mind
with constructive thoughts if
you so desire. Review your
plans of how each course is
to be studied. Reorganize
each course from the begin
ming.
When excitement over cur
rent happenings drives
thoughts of study out of your
mind, take a brisk walk. And
as you walk review plans of
what you are going to do
about some courses. Then
proceed to your study table
and start to work again.

MODERN
MANNERS
Horossed Cab Drivers Due
Some Consideration From Us
By CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

We all comment at times
on what we think of those
who drive us in taxi cabs.
Usually these comments are
far from complimentary.
After all, there are two sides
to every story. So I have
made a survey on my own
by asking questions of nu-
merous and sundry cab
drivers. The following an
sWerS are their side of the
picture
Without exception, all the
drivers with whom l have
talked have headed their list
with the person who slams
the door so hard that the
window is cracked or broken.
Aside from the time lost hav-
ing it repaired, the insurance
company is usually not re-
SponSible in this case. Most
offenders go blithely on their
way, making no offer to pay
for the damage done.
The person who does not
know the exact address of
the place to which he is
going. He thinks it's just a
few blocks away. Twelve
blocks and twenty minutes
later, he discovers it's in the
opposite direction.
The person who has nc
change other than a twenty
dollar bill, and becomes
highly incensed when the
driver insists upon going to
the nearest store to get it
changed rather than put it
on the cuff"
The passenger who reads
his morning newspaper, and
when he alightS, leaves paper
spread all over the seat and
floor. This same person is apt
to be the smoker who puts
ashes every place but in the
container supplied for that
purpose. Another thoughtless
habit that will not endear
you to your cab driver is
borrowing his matches, then
promptly putting them in
your pocket.
DOting Parents
The doting parent who al
lows Junior to climb all over
the upholstery with muddy
feet will definitely not be
popular with the driver!
One type of passenger who
is always with us" according
to the cab driver, is the one
who isn't happy unless he
kicks about the charges. Even
if it is a set price, he will
argue just the same. This is
usually the person who tips
a nickel, and very often in
an ungracious manner.
Another universal peeve
can be explained more fully
by the following little story.

Questions, Answers

Question: Recently l dined
in a restaurant and during
the main course the waitress
brought relish tray. AS l
had never encountered this
before, I was at a loss as
to what to do. Should l have
served myself or let the
waitress serve me? Since
there was no special plate
provided, should l have used
my dinner plate or my bread
plate? Mrs. j. c. G.
Answer The waitress usu-
ually will indicate that you
are to make your own choice
and serve yourself. Or she
will ask your preference and
then serve you. The relishes
should be placed on your
butter plate unless a special
dish is provided.
Question: My husband and
I are going to pay a formal
call on another couple, and
as my husband has no card
at this time, I thought it
would be permissible to use
a Joint calling card. Please
tell me how many cards
should be left when a Joint
calling card is used. -
Mrs. R. L. B.
Answer: A single card of
your husbands is necessary,
in this instance, as a woman
never leaves a card upon a
man. The correct number of
cards, when calling on a
couple. would be one of the
Joint cards and one of your
husbands.
