1st Scouts Chaplain Was Drafted"

Capt. Laurence A. Nevue, Chap lain for the 1st Scout Battalion, 297th Infantry, began his military service by being drafted" into the Alaska National Guard. What makes this so unusual is the fact that the Guard does not "draft" anyone, let alone an active priest. Besides, the good Father was 49 years old at the time. The explan- ation of the novel conscription is simply this: various men of his parish and others in Nome came to Father Nevue and asked him If he would become Chaplain in the guard. Happy and overwhelm- ed by the invitation, he took this opportunity to join the Alaska Ma tional Guard.
 His duties as Chaplain include holding Mass, conducting Charac- ter Guidance instruction for the troops, distribution of religious materials to Guardsmen, and hold ing cormseling periods for all who desire them.
 Chaplain Nevue, who holds the rank of Captain, tried to join the Alaska National Guard in 1948 but was turned down because of his age. Due to the unusual circum- stances at Nome, it took a special waiver to accomplish his enlist ment.
 The Chaplain has three broth CTS, all of whom have had military service. The military, he recalls, was always a prominent factor in his life and he had ambitions of being chaplain for many years. In his own words, Becoming a Chaplain is fulfillment of past desire"

DefoliatiOn -
General recommendations
for defoliation are after 50 20
60 percent of your bolls have
opened. Premature defoliation
reduces yields and produces
Immature fibers. However, If
Iyou have some rank cotton
THAT you are getting lots of
boil rot at present time 1t
would be advisable to bottom
|defoliate your cotton if at all
POSSIBLE to do So. If 1t is not
POSSIBLE to botto mdefoliate
and you are getting lots OF
rot on bottom bolls it would
probably justify you to put
"a light dose of cynamid In
order to knock off most OF
the mature leaves.
At this time I do not find
any new boil rot in cotton
fields. Most Of the boil rot
we have had was two to three
weeks ago during damp, hot
weather. Very little boil rot
has occurred since the cool
spell we had a few weeks a.
go. Unless 1t rains with low

Their it is doubtful If too much
boil rot will occur before we
would have a chance to de-

Cotton -
Questions are coming in
every day as to whether or
not / should keep poisoning
my cotton for boil weevils
and bollworms. Of course that
depends on whether or not
your cotton has matured ana
cut out completely. The gene
raj rules to use in determln-
ing as to whether you are TO
keep poisoning are, If you teel
1t is still green and blooming
with good, healthy blooms,
then it would certainly JUSTIFY
you continuing poisoning eth
er one, two or three more
times for both boil weevils ana
bollworms as both of these
insects are certainly a pro-
blem at this time.

American Legion Will Embark On Membership Drive

Upon official notification of Jack Altman Post No. IT, American Le- zion, co-sponsoring this years 4th of July celebration with Branch 165 of the Fleet Reserve Associa- ton. Commander Frank Martinez declared that his year of leadership will be dedicated to further expan- sion of the Posts community Serv- ice activities and the continuation of its long standing services for diabled veterans and their families.
 Martinez pointed out that Post No. IT would soon embark on an early membership campaign which would reach its climax on Veterans Day, Nov. II.
 "I realize that because of per sonal responsibilities, not every veteran in Kodiak can take an ac- tive role in the American Legion" said Martinez.
 However, whether they are ac- tive or not in the various endeav- ors of Post No. IT, all eligible vet erans can aid in the development of the many programs of service to community, state, and nation through their Legion member ship" he said.

Vic Marconi Will Try For Worlds Record Bowling

A Worlds Championship for Ko- diak?
 It's all up to Vic Marconi who has decided to set out to capture the World Marathon Bowling Rec ord at the Elks Bowling Lanes here. And if donations from indi- viduals and firms continue as we'll as they have so far, Vic will begin rollin' em early morning of Friday, June 28.
 The world record marathon bowling championship is currently held by another Alaskan, Bill Kum- inert, 35, of Kenai, who bowled l, 0O9 continuous games in n hours and 15 minutes and thereby de- throned Tony Bordlnelli, also of Kenai, who had held the title since June of 1860. Bordinelli at that time was AS years old.
 Donations are being collected to defray expenses for such items as bowling socks and shoes and alley fees. The fee for bowling 1000 game would be $500 alone. Any do- nations can be made direct to the bowling lanes.
 Marconi, a former radio techni- clan and now in the cab business here, is AT years old. He will at- tempt to set the new worlds record for an endurance bowler using three-fingered 16-pound balls. His average is 186.
 To give you some idea of the sta tistics involved in attempting such feat, Marconi pointed out that the present champion, Kummert, averaged IA games per hour and walked about 80 miles while he bowled the 1,OO9 games in the Fl plus hours. He downed 93, ,750 pins and made a total of 912 strikes. His average for the entire marathon was 92.8 and it is estimated that he lifted total of some 100 tons in manipulating the Singer 10 pound balls he used. His high game was 24O and his low game was 2. Kum- inert used three lanes walking from lane to lane rolling the ball as fast as they came from the chutes. He palmed the ball and threw it rather than rolling it in the final games. He was allowed IS minutes rest per hour and due to the effcts of some pills he took, was allowed one break from bowl ing for five hours during which he remained in the bowling alley and walked around. A doctor was in at-

Assault Charge
In Silver Spring

old apartment janitor was
charged with assault and bat
terry and burglary last week,
within a few hours after an in
truder was routed by the
screams OF young mother
occupying one OF the apart

County police said the charges
were placed against George r.

apartments at s Manchester
Place, on the complaint Of the
young woman who occupies a
nearby apartment with her
small child. The alleged entry
and assault occurred about 1870
am. Friday, according to police
records.
Police said the woman report.
ed she was awakened when the
intruder placed a hand upon
her, but that he fled when she
began screaming. The complaint

of the opinion that the proposed
ordinance would forbid all
forms of gatherings until they
have been approved by the coun-
ty manager.
''rhe breadth of the Ian
guage," she said, "is such as to
cover the whole spectrum of
harmless social activities; neigh
borhood Christmas caroling,
public school affairs, children's
groups on trick or treat expedi-
tons as well as rallies of the
two major political parties, any
group activity taking place in
any public building, park, park
ing lot, or on any street"
Far from creating a serene
climate" she continued, ''it is
likely to sow seeds of suspicion
and to inflame whatever UNI
happy antagonisms that may al
ready exist.
''The holding Of a parade or a
group demonstration should not
be left to the discretion of ad-
ministrative officials. Anyone so
charged must necessarily oper-
ate on a basis of guesswork if
not downright prejudice because
it is impossible to determine in
advance whether a group meet
ing of any kind will or will not
erupt into disorders and a
breach of peace. So far as I
know there is no evidence that
the county police have failed to
maintain order during parades
and demonstrations held in the
county.
'Is there any reason to doubt
their adequacy now? In my
opinion there is not. But even
if there were, the solution to the
problem would not be to strip
the citizenry of its constitutional
right freely to assemble and
parade"
Cass noted that the proposed
ordinance is so broad in scope
that it literally and specifically
covers nearly anybody meeting
for any purpose; however laud-
able, on public property = the
P-TA's, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts,
veterans organizations, business
groups, women's clubs, civic and
fraternal organizations and
labor unions"
Cass urged the County Coun-
Gil to reject this wretched
measure and leave county resi-
dents free to speak and as
semble as the Constitution pro-
vides we may"
