Strange Things
By HEINIE SNYDER

Last Sunday we had a really warm day. Our thermometer showed 84 degrees Fahrenheit, and almost everyone we met Was complaining about the heat and the pesky mosquitoes.
 But then, whether the wea- ther is hot or cold, we should remember what Sam Clemens said about it: Everybody talks about the weather and nobody can do a darn thing about 1t. D
 Mosquitoes, with this cloudy and rainy weather, have been bad, but not as bad as they used to be, at least in this part of Alaska. Many summers we worked on the Alaska Rail- road with a mosquito net over our hats, and on our hands canvas gloves. We kept smud- ges burning, and as the present repellents were unknown. we smeared our faces with a mix ture of vaseline and creoline.. At night the baby slept under a net, and the COW was dressed in a burlap gown. We know of at least one man who cut his wrists and died in the Cache creek swamps, driven crazy by the flies.
 Before the writer came to Alaska, he became acquainted with mosquitoes in German Southwest Africa and in Ar gentina on the Rio de la Plata. Some of these mosquitoes spread malaria and other dis eases. While l do not know if our mosquitoes are carriers, they surely give us a bad time by drilling a hole in our skins to suck the blood (only the fe- male doing the dirty work). Most of our contacts with these pests are detrimental to our sense of fair play and the En- glish language suffers immen- sely thereby.
 One of the very best pros pectors who banned on the tri- butaries of the Yukon or drove a pick in the hard rock of Will low Creek was gold miner by the name of Buck Sparling. When not prospecting he was chief cook at the Lucky Shot mine, but as soon as the snow was gone, Buck was some where in the hills.

THOUGHTS
 OF A AMMAN
Ben Hur

The author of this remark able novel was an agnostic by the name General Lew Wallace. He and a friend had decided to voice their unbelief in print. To get as much information as they could of the Christians God, they determined to study the Bible. The General became soundly converted and ac- cepted Jesus Christ as his Saviour. The result was this very fine story of the early Christian period. Truly the Word of God is more power ful than a two-edged sword. It discerns between the thou ghts and intents of the heart. It convicts of sin, and re- veals Jesus Christ as the only solution to the sin question.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH
 THE CHURCH FOR ALL

The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of charac- ter and good citizenship. It is a store house of spiritual values. Without strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regu- iariy and support the Church. They are: CD For his own sake. t2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake Of his community and nation. co For the sake of the Church itself. which needs his moral and material support. Plan to 90 to church resu- larly and read your Bible daily.

Steel Mills Post
Surprising Gains
For Late in Year

NEW YORK (AP)..-The Ma.
tons steel mills, riding a sur.
prising late year surge, posted
their seventh production gain in
a row last week, marking the
18th rise in the last 16 weeks.
During the week, 2,O42, OOC
tons Of ingots and steel for cast.
ings were poured. up a little
better than 2 per cent from the
preceding week.
Despite the steady climb, the
mills still were producing al
roughly two thirds of top speed
But such a performance, after
an unusually strong April-Junt
quarter, was enough to keep the
industry closing in on its best
output record since 1957-and {
probable total Of 100 million
tons.
The American Iron and Stee
Institute said production in tn,
first 40 weeks rose to 1O2, 976, OOt
tons, or about II per cent aheaC
of a year ago. In all of 1862
production amounted to &c.:
million tons.
Orders were reported still
coming in strong, unusually 81
for December, a month wher
demand ordinarily dips. Steel
men said market strength point
ed toward a strong 1864 frs
quarter.

Sudebaker Only Auto Maker in Business Before Cars

He was replaced by coSt-con-

1t is under Mr.. Burlingame's

The firm has poured millions

YOUR MONEYS WORTH
EmpIoye Tenure
Shows Big Gain
BY SYLVIA PORTER

A third force, is that job at

Of training, education and skill
required for employment rises.
AS Harvey r. Hamel, author Of
the BIS study, put it, "a work.
er who invests a lot of time and
energy in learning a job is in
clined to keep that job once he
gets it. We find the greatest de-
gree of job stability among per-
sons in occupations which de-
mand the most training, fl
nancial investment or expert
ence, and the biggest expan-
sion in employment is taking
place in the professional and
technical occupations.
Unskilled Move Most
THE shortest job tenure is
among laborers and the semi
skilled who require little or no
training and are more likely to
be adversely affected by bust
ness downturnS or seasonal fluc-
tuations," he added.
Incidentally, Mr.. Ham e
dOwngrades the impact of good
or bad times on job stability.
There are plenty Of reasons a
man may want to change his
job in good times when he is op-
timistic and looking for ad-
vancement. Attenuation may
lay off as many workers in
prosperity as declining profits
lay off in recession"
Will the trend toward greater
job security continue? Yes, for
each force behind it is growing
in importance. Pension priv
ileges are still expanding. Rel
alive peace continues. EN-
ployment is requiring increas
ing investment by management
and workers in education anC
training.

MILLIONS IN WAGONS

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP).-A
Studebaker Corp. has been In
the transportation business
longer than any other American
auto maker. It's the only one
that pre-dateS the automobile.
Founded in 1852 by black
smith brothers Henry and
Glenn Studebaker, the company
made only three wagons that
year. But soon five Studebaker
brothers we're in the faSt-grow-
ing business, and it proSpered.
1t started making cars as well
as wagons in 1902.
In 1888, however, Studebaker,
like AGO auto makers before it,
went so far into the red it was
put in receiverShip. The compa-
ny had operated in the black
until 1892.
But Studebaker weathered the
depression and was well on the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-12-10

million-dollar operation by the
time it started making cars.
Studebaker prospered as a
wagon maker for the Union
Army during the Civil War and
it was a prime suppher Of
prairie schOoners as the Nation
moved West.
By the time the brothers had
their first million-dollar year in
1875, they already had opened
branches in New York, Chicago,
Dallas, Kansas City and Allan
ia. Sales passed 81 million a
year in 1887 and s. million in
1898.
The last of the Studebaker
brothers, ]. NJ, died in 1917, al
though some descendants re-
manned with the company for
decades.

Pre-tax profit Of Studebaker'S
nonautomotive divisions are
currently Gin the order Of $12
million annually"
Dealers will be encouraged to
stay with Studebaker-and the
fact that Studebaker isn't going
out Of the automobile business
completely is the best news
they have had in years.
The price of Studebaker cars
made in Canada but sold in the
United States is expected to
remain the same as current
Studebaker prices here.
Production Of the Avanti,
Studebaker sports car, will
cease entirely, so will produc-
ton Of civilian trucks.
Severance pay will be given
to Studebaker Salaried en-
ployes, but union workers will
be covered by current contract
provisions. About 1000 en-
ployeS in South Bend will be let
60 as a result Of the move.
