NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL_
Americans who take a pessimistic outlook when
they read the news of the day should familiarize them
selves with what is happening in other areas. A sample
of news reports from foreign countries shows:
(1) The government of Brazil ordering the mili
tary forces to restore order in the State of Maranhao,
in a state of turmoil as a result of a struggle between
two groups for office. Some dispatches tell of armed
bands attacking interior villages.
(2) French police discovered an arsenal of ex-!
plosives in the home of an alleged Communist Party
member. They think that this solves the riddle of the
wave of terrorism that swept France in August.
(3) In Colombia, a prominent Liberal leader was,
found shot dead on a street. Government investigators
seek to discover the mystery that surrounds his death.
(4) Police in Singapore seek to solve a mysterious
explosion which injured 28 persons during a celebra
tion in that city. They suspect a Communist terrorist
used a home-made bomb.
(5) In Manila, the governor of Quezon Province
rests in a hospital, after being held by kidnapers three
days and nights. His family paid a $15,000 ransom for
his freedom.
(6) In Tehran, Iran, a court sentenced a young
man to death for the assassination of the Minister of
Education early this year. i
(7) A near-famine in meat, that lasted almost a
week, ended in France when butchers decided to re
open for business, pending adjustment of their de
mands against the government which has instituted
some reail price regulations.
(8) Slavery is increasing in Japan, according to
the Labor Ministry, which said that 1,579 were sold
into bondage during the past fiscal year. Most of the
slaves sold were children of poverty-stricken families.

Communication ;
As a member of the Health
and Welfare Committee of the
Nome City Council, I feel that the
citizens of Nome should be made
aware of the procedure to follow
in problems falling to this com
mittee, particularly in those deal
ing with child neglect cases. We
are fortunate in Nome in having
a Public Welfare Office, whose
policies are clearly defined along
this line, and which office stands
ready to cooperate with the City
Council at all times.
The procedure is simple and it
is the duty of citizens to bring
to the attention of this commit
tee or the Welfare Office any sit
uation they feel is dangerous to
health, safety, or welfare. By the
making of a formal complaint (in
matters where children are in
volved) the matter is thus brought
into Juvenile Court and heard by
the U.S. Commissioner in a con
fidential manner, and a full in
vestigation of the situation is
made, with proper action taken
to the advantage of all concerned.
Then, if the child or children are
put under supervision and cus
tody of the Welfare Department,
that office has authority to make
the best plan for the children’s
*care. However, according to the
law, until such formal complaint
is made, no legal action can be
taken.
Remember, we are seeking to
make Nome a better place in
which to live and bring up our

Rotary Club Host
To General Beau,
Commander. CAP
m
General Lucas V. Beau, of the
USAF and national commander of
the Civil Air Patrol, and his
party were guests Thursday of
the Nome Rotary Club.
With General Beau were two
members of the national execu
tive board of the CAP. Colonel
W. C. Whelen, CAP, who is a
contractor in Nashville, Tenn.,
and Colonel William M. Joy,
manufacturer from Detroit, Mich.,
both civilians in what is essen
tially a civilian organization. Col
onel Frances W. Nolde, CAP, di
rector of the Women’s CAP, also
a civilian member of the party,
is a housewife and a prominent
aviatrix who won the transcon
tinental air race in 1949.
General Beau was the speaker
at the club luncheon, telling of
the work of the CAP, which this
last year did 71% of all the
search and rescue work in the
continental United States. He said
that the communications branch
comprises the largest radio net
work in the world, with a present
total of 9100 stations, all vital to
rescue and patrol.
This businessman’s organiza
tion has been officially adopted
by the Air Force as an auxiliary,
and gets advice and services, such
as transportation, through the
U.S. Air Force. The civilian pilots
and other officers and men of the
CAP receive no salary, giving
their time and service as any
other service club, with the ex
ception of gas and oil used in
search and patrol work.
General Beau gave particular i
mention to the Cadets, and was
pleased to note the fine showing
the Nome cadets were making
with their local training officers.
He said that Russia has 12,000,
000 in her youth civilian program,
and it is high time the youth
of our land became more air
minded.
Of particular interest to youth,
he said, should be the training
program in communications, elec
tronics, and a growing tendency
for high schools and other second
ary schools to recognize and give
credit for the science of aviation.
With the general were the fol- j
lowing U.S. Air Force men who

PAPER FROM GRASS.. |
CANBERRA, Australia, {IP) — ;
Arthur Neville, a 76-year-old west
e r n Australia farmer, believes
Australian buffalo grass and New
Guinea Kunai grass can be used
to make high quality paper.
Neville arrived in Sydney re- j
cently carrying a big bundle of
buffalo grass which he brought
from the Northern Territory. He
told reporters that the grass had
plenty of cellulose, but that it
must be boiled in caustic soda at
600 degrees F. for more than four
hours to be effective as a source
of paper. He said he intends to
submit samples to the Common
wealth Scientific and Industrial
Research Organization for testing.
