The head of the University of
Alaska’s Home Economics Depart
ment is the Senior Member of tne
Faculty in years of service. And
for Professor Lola Cremeans Tilly,
the future looks
most promis
ing.
In 1929, while
teaching at the
University of
Minnesota,
Miss Cremeans
heard that Dr.
Charles E. Bun
nell of the Uni
versity of Alas
Mrs. Tilly ka, was in thc
States looking
for teachers—particularly a quali
fied person to head the Depart
ment of Home Economics.
She was very much interested.
When Dr. Bunnell came to the
Minnesota campus and interview
ed her Miss Cremeans decided she
would “come lor only one year.”
Dr. Bunnell smiled. “If you come
for one year, Miss Cremeans. you
wall stay for many.”
His prophesy was correct. Miss
Cremeans stayed. In 1937 she was
married to Gray S. Tilly in Fair
banks, and the couple decided that
Alaska* would be their permanent
jesidence. They planned and built
their own home—and this delight
ful residence at 906 Kellum street
has been the scene of many Uni
versity social functions.
Miss Tilly’s summers have been
»-;
spent in travel and in taking “re
fresher courses” to keep up with
! the top advances in her profession.
I She has visited Europe, Cuba, the
! Panama Canal and Canada, and
| has covered most of the United
States and practically all of Alas
ka, including remote Eskimo cil
i lages on the Arctic Coast.
Professor Tilly believes that j
I every girl is a potential home-1
maker, and should be trained for
j that profession. The home econo- i
; mics curriculum at the U. of A.
; is well-rounded. It offers classes
in Foods and Cooking, Meal Prep
! aration, Marketing, Home Man
agement, Family Health, Marriage!
and Family Relationships, Child j
Care and Training, and Clothing!
Design, as well as many liberal
arts subjects. Mrs. Tilly also
teaches Camp Cookery for men.
i
‘(The permanent settlement of
Alaska depends on the women,”
Mrs. Tilly contends. “Anything we
can do to improve living condi
tions and make happier home life'
will be a big contribution toward \
stabilizing population and devel
oping the Territory.
Her home, her University ac
tivities and her years of devotion
to the teaching profession up here
back up her statements most elo
quently. *

Issue New-Port
And Ship Security
Regulations
WASHINGTON, WP)—The coast
guard today laid down new port
and ship security rules designed to
screen subversives from the ranks
of the nation’s maritime workers.
The security regulations were
ordered into immediate effect by
coast guard commandant Merlin
O’Neill. He acted in the fact of a
strike threat at west coast ports,
the embarkation point for men and
supplies to Korea.
Heads of two unions—both ex
pelled from the CIO this year on
charges of following the commun
ist party program—threatened a
strike at coast guard hearings
here a month ago unless the then
r
proposed regulations were chang- j
ed suit them.
The final regulations put out by |
Admiral O’Neill differ in many re-!
spects from the initial proposals,
but whether the changes go far
enough to kill the danger of a
strike could not be determined im
mediately.
The strike-threatening union
heads were Harry Bridges of the
70,000-member ILWU and Hugh
Bryson, Jr., of the 10,000-member
Marine Cooks and Stewards Un
ion. Both unions are chiefly active
on the west coast.
Bridges and Bryson centered
much of their fire on a proposal
to empower the coast guard to
deny any worker the “security
card” to be required for employ
ment on U. Sr vessels or water
front facilities. This would have
■
allowed denial of a card to a.
i I
worker:
• • i
“When reasonable grounds are l
found to warrant the belief that 1
such person is affiliated with, or
sympathetic to, any organization
group government of the United ■
States.”
' # I
That provision was re-written
i %
extensively in the wake of argu
ments by the two union chiefs that
\1 * ■ •
such charges are too vague and j
no man could defend himself
against them. They contended that j
security card denials should ap-1
ply only to persons convicted of or 1
proved to be trained for spying or |
* w .4
sabotage.
As put into effect by O’Neill,
the provision now reads that
among other things, the basis of
card denials shall be “reasonable
grounds for the belief that the in
dividual:
1. Has committed acts of trea
son or sedition, or has engaged in
acts of espionage or sabotage; has
actively advocated such acts or
aided or associated with persons
committing such acts; or
2. Is employed by, or subject to
the influence of a foreign govern
ment under circumstances which
may jeopardize the security inter- j
ests of the United States; or
3. Has actively advocated or t
supported the overthrow of the
government by the use of force or
violence; or i
4. Has intentionally disclosed i
military information classif ie d
confidential or higher without au
thority ... !

Two Georgia moonshiners were
taking their first train trip. They!
had heard of soda pop, but neith
er had ever tasted any, so when
the vendor came through the car
they each bought a bottle.
The first moonshiner took a long
drink—just as the train entered a
tunnel. j
“How d’you like it, Jed?” asked
his companion in the darkness.
“Don’t tetch thet stuff, Lem,
I been struck blind!”
