$100,000 Injury Suit Filed
By Merchant Seaman
SEATTLE, (/P)—A personal in
jury suit for $100,000 was filed
against Coastwise Line, Inc., in
federal court here Thursday by
Adam Burghardt, 27, a merchant
seaman.
Burghardt asked that amount
for back, leg and head injuries
he said he received at Seward,
Alaska, Jan. 22 when he slipped
on grease and was caught in a
winch aboard the S.S. Charles
Crocker.
Inflation caused the prices of
brides to go sky high in Uganda,
Africa. It is now “frozen” at five
head of cattle, five goats and the
equivalent of $2.80 in cash.

Army Hand-Picks
Soldiers Assigned
To Arctic Duty
WASHINGTON, {/P)—The Army
is hand - picking the soldiers it
sends to remote and frigid posts
in the far north perimeter of de
fense.
This was pointed up Saturday
in a regulation governing assign
ment of personnel to Fort Church
ill, in northern Canada on the
western coast of Hudson Bay.
There the US. and Canada have
operated an outpost and training
station for several years.
The regulation sets a higher
than-usual physical standard, re
quires a higher aptitude score in
tests than is usual for most other
duty, and bans anyone who has
been rejected or disqualified for
a service school for academic de
ficiency.
Soldiers with any evidence of
circulatory troubles are rejected
because deduced blood flow might
make them easy victims for frost
bite or subject to acute discomfort
in low temperatures.
Other factors disqualifying them
include chronic sinusitis and skin
hypersensitivity to sun or wind.
“■V.
Men wearing braces or false eyes
also are ruled out.
The two countries jointly oper
ate weather and radar warning
stations at other and even more
northerly points on the continent,
some of them far up at the ex
treme rim of land along the polar
seas.
A light year, in astronomy, is
the distance that light, traveling
at 186,000 miles a second, travels
in a year’s time.
