Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts
A. P. News Analyst
The world has now returned to
■an atmosphere of even greater
foreboding and tension than ex
isted before this year’s itwo ibig
peace conferences at Geneva.
By deed in the Middle East
and by word at Geneva Russia
has reVived the old western
slogan, “you can’t do business
with the communists.”
You can 'belt your bottom dol
lar the western diplomats arej
not as shocked and surprised
as they appear to be. If they:
were, they would be unworthy,
of their positions.
The only surprise is the a
bruptness with which Molotov
put aside the mask of Santa
Claus to take up again the dole
which goes so well with his
name, “The Hammer.”
The foreign ministers con
ference was never expected to
produce much. It was expea.ed
'to prolong at least for a time
the “Geneva spirit,” and allow
for continued negotiations.
Now these appear futile, with
Molotov’s sudden statement
(that Germany will be reunited
only under communist terms. I
The one great by-product of
the meeting, 'from the western j
standpoint, is to demonstrate:
to the Germans that Russia’s
attitude toward them is com-1
pletely self-seeking. j
There is also 'the demonstra
tion that a positive program of
expansion, not fear of aggres
sion by a revived Germany, is
!the chief factor of Russian pol
icy. This is newly apparent in
the Middle East as well as in
Middle Europe.
It seems strange, however,
thlalt Russia should drop so sud
denly her campaign of sweet
ness and light and the facade
of what she calls “cooperation
for peace.” Only last Monday
she was playing all the stops on
this theme.
Because of this, it is possible
that Molotov -will yet pull
some switch, on other subjects
than Germany, to keep the j i
door open.
Same concessions on the last j ’
agenda item, cultural and com- :
mercial exchanges, may be j
forthcoming. But the western <
diplomats are taking the atti-!;
tude that the conference is vir- * 1
•rually over, that the mask has. 1
now 'been torn from Soviet in- (i
tentions, and they might as 5
well go home. ' <
The United States, particu- t
larly would be seriously em- 1
^arrassed by cne possible fol
lowup of this revelation of Sov
ia; attitude.
The United States propa
ganda machine has been ham
mering away for weeks on the
Eisenhower proposaal for mu
tual inspection arrangements
to secure both Russia and Am
erica gainst sudden military
attack.
If Russia were to accept now.
after what has happened with
regard to peace in Europe,
there is a big question whetherJ
congress would let the presid
ent go through with it.
Gil Nettinas
[is at it's highest in many years]
Greeting 22 candidates for
the opening practice session on
Nov. 1, Boiibridge has cut nhe
squad to 13 players but is not
certain as to the number he
will carry on the roster once
the season is underway. Of the
22 hopefuls who suited up on
opening day, nary a one hilt
the six foot mark.
To compensate for the ab
sence of the all-important hei
ght, Bonbridge states that this
year’s blue and gold edition
will be fast and that it will em
ploy the fast-break and race
horse style of play that has
characterized so many fine SJ
teams of the past.
Returning lettermen. Gerald
Gray and Delbert Hayward are
expected to carry the offensive
punch that many hope will lead
the Presbyterian Pack all the
way to the All-Alaska show
down. However, supported by
fine players in returning letter
men, Les Carle, George Dem
mert, George Grant, Gill Hud
son, Will Mari in, Dave 11 Wilson
and Fred Olsen, the blue and
gold machine will not be 'gear- ,
ed by two players only. j
Defensively, Boiibridge has
been putting his charges thr- (
ough interchangeable maneuv- f
ers that will vary according to
the opposition. 9 ressing the I
importance otf a pressing man
to-man defense, the SJS men
tor went on to say that this was
a very important phase of his
raining program and since his
charges have readily adapted
o it. SJS opponents will see a
ot of this tight pressing de
ense.
Expecting Sitka and Edge
‘u/mibe io be tougher than a year 1
ijgo, Borbridge emphasized
he point that all (games will
)e tough and although promis
ng no miracles in his first sea
on as coach, added that: (to •
:oin an old phrase) “The other
earns puts their pants on one ;
eg at a time, just like we do.” ;

HERE THIS MORNING
At 8 a. m. this morning the
thermometer ait the Coast and
Geodetic Survey station read
22 degrees above zero, and a
little later it slid to a low of 21
degrees.
This is not the low for Nov
ember, however, as on Nov. 4th
a low for the season of 16 a
bove wfas chalked up.
Weiather records indicate
temperatures have been below
normal since June, leading
some to speculate i’.hat the win
ter may be somewhat colder
than usual.

the SJS schedule is the trek to
Juneau booked for Jan. 6-7
when the blue and gold meet
i‘jhe Crimson Bears in the Gap
ital City. To Borbridge. a trans
planted Juns'auite. winning
this series is a “must.”
Getting a jump on.other lo
cal schools, the SJS club sw
ings into addon this Saturday
when it meets the alumni in
the annual event. Being the
first game of the season, Bor
bridlge stated he would not be
‘.00 disturbed should his team
come out on the short end of
the fracas. But before leaving,
he added: “But we’ll be out
there to win.”
I Rich in basketball tradition,
| SJS is lio basketball what the
| Yankees are to baseball and
Notre Dame is to football. The
manufacturer of many fine bas

High where he captained the

Borbridge is a Sitfaan by heart,

1947. A holder of a BA degree

SCHOOL LUNCHROOM J
OPENS NOV. 14
Lunchroom in the new Bar
anof grade school will open on
Monday, November 14. For the
first few days only those who
live a): Mt. Edgecombe or those
who come from the outlying
! areas served by the school bus
[may be served.
As soon as the lunch program
becomes organized lunches
will be served to additional
youngsters who live within the
city limits.
Students from M't. Edgecum
be and the school bus area who
now brinig lunches may contin
ue to do so, if parents feel they
can prepare a lunch cheaper
than the 40c meals that will be
served at school. However,
those who bring lunches will
have /t-o wait until those purch
asing lunches are served, be
cause of the need to serve food
while it is hot.
Original plan is to serve lun
cheon in shifts, with primary
grade children being served be
tween 11:30 and 11:55 a. m.;
the intermediate grades from
11:55 a. m. to 12:20 p. m.; and
.he upper grades and high sch
ool students from 12:10 to 12:35
p. m. This is only a tentative
schedule and may vary some
what, however.
Volume will determine the
price of the lunches. If a largo
number participate, Inhere is a
possibility of the cost going
down; but if only a few use the
lunchroom, it will be necessary
to keep the cost high, as the
school mud. pay for cooks, util
ities. fuel, garbage service and
maintenance, regardless of how
few take part in the program.
Ali national school lunch pro
grams, such as the one to be un
dertaken here. musj. be self-sup
portinlg and non-prof if.
There will not be a cafeteria
sityle service but a plate lunch
made up, with each child hav
ing the same food as every oth
er child. The lunch will ful
fill requirements of the nation
al school lunch program, fur
nishing each child with V3 of
his daily food requirements.
This is known as the “type A”
lunch, with milk, and will be
the only one served.
Each child who will partici
pate miust bring 40c to schoc
each morning and leave if witi
his teacher, who will in tun
issue the youngster a tioke
This procedure will be follow
ed until weekly lunch ticket
have been received, at whicl
tmie those who wish may pur
chase 'these tickets. A luncl
count will be made each mori
inig to determine the nurnbe:
i who will participate each day.
Children who live in towr
will not be allowed to bring s
cold lunch to school. Purpose
o: the school lunch program h
to provide a hof lunch at noor
and town children should
obtain their hot lunches at
home if they do not wish tc
participate in Jhe program,

Cole pointed out.
