Refugees Report Shoes
Getting Scarce In Cuba
MIAMI, Fla. i/Pi — Cuba is be
coming a shoeless nation,” a wom
an refugee who escaped Fidel Cas
tro’s island said Saturday.
“Shoes are getting scarcer all
the time and thousands in Cuba
are barefoot, especially children,”
Mrs. Olga de Hernandez reported.
Several members of her party,
including her three children, wore
shoes for the first time in months.
Her son, Reogelio, celebrated his
12th birthday Saturday with shoes.
Havana butcher Domingo Gon
zales and Gabriel Bolandos looked
uncomfortable but natty in sporty
brown oxfords to which they were
unaccustomed.
They were outfitted with the
shoes after visiting the Cuban Re
fugee Center along with others of
the party of 10 that eluded Castro
gunboats earlier last week on Brit
ish-owned Anguilla Cay. They had
landed there after fleeing their
countries.
Bolandos grinned as his zapatos
(Spanish for shoes) squeaked. He
remarked, “This is great. One per
son in 10 in Cuba is without shoes
or has some ragged things that
hardly could be called shoes.”
Male Nurse For St. Lawrence
St. Lawrence Island will have
its first male Public Health Nurse
as R. E. Phillips, who has been
public health nurse at Barrow for
the past year, has been transferred
to St. Lawrence Island for the
work there.
Eunice Logan, education spe
cialist from the Juneau office of
the BIA, passed through Nome to
day enroute to Unalakleet for a
workshop there. Miss Logan will
be remembered as a former BIA
teacher here in the old BIA
school.
One of the common causes of
fatigue, health authorities say, is
the simple failure to breathe deep
ly enough. Shallow breathers lead
weary lives.

Biliy Sunday Says Cubans
Taken Last Week Were
Armed Only with Bibles
LOS ANGELES (if* — Evangelist
Billy Graham says the United
States and Great Britain should
have gone to the aid of 19 Cubans
reported taken prisoner by Com
munist Cubans from a British
owned Caribbean island.
“They were Christians, armed
only with Bibles,” Graham said.
Graham, in the second day of a
25-day crusade at the Los Angeles
Coliseum, said: “So-called Chris
tian America some day will stand
condemned before the bar of God's
justice for our indefference to the
suffering of others.”
America has entered “the age of
the shrug,” he said, and the most
common expression is “We could
n’t care less.” But, he added, be
fore God, “we must care.”

HOW TO HIT A FLYING TARGET
Shotgun shooting has become an all
year sport—hunting game in season and
breaking clay targets the rest of the
time. Chief reason for failing to hit flying
targets is stopping the muzzle of the
gun. This can be overcome easily by
training and practice.
To get hits consistently,
keep the gun moving,
swing past target, pull
ing the trigger as you
do so, and continue
swinging in a follow
through motion after
you’ve touched off the
shot.
4* . .Mii t*
Anticipated shotgun recoil and actual
kick can also handicap the shooter.
Apparent recoil has been reduced by
40 to 50 percent in the new gas
operated Remington Model 1100
automatic. It is now easier for any
shooter—novice or expert—to shoot
better.

Freak Thunderstrom
Causes Much Damage
In Phoenix, Ariz.
PHOENIX, Ariz. UP\ — A freak
thunderstorm hit Phoenix Satur
day with the worst flood in years.
At least one death resulted.
Roads were clogged with dirt i
and debris, northwest side resi
dents marooned and some houses
invaded by as much as three feet j
of water. Damage was estimated
in the thousands of dollars. Boats
were used to rescue many strand- j
ed residents from their homes.
The Sheriff’s Office called it the
worst flood in 33 years.
Official records, however, will
show the storm which caused it as
just a drop in the bucket. The
Weather Bureau’s official reading
was .42 of an inch.
But there were unofficial reports
of from two to five inches in
various sectors of the Phoenix
area.
Mike Leija, 16, of suburban
Glendale was electrocuted when
he leaned against a utility pole.
Police blamed a power leakage,
apparently caused by the storm,
for the death.

Canadian Foreign Minister
Not Frightened Bv Threat
Of Retaliation by Pravda
LEAMINGTON, Ont. — For
eign Minister Paul Martin said a
statement made in the Soviet Com
munist party newspaper Pravda
about Canada accepting nuclear
; arms was provocative. Pravda had
warned that the presence of nuc
lear warheads exposes Canada to
danger of a Soviet “retaliatory
blow” in the event of world war.
Martin said in an interview:
i “Anyone knows that in the event
of a nuclear war Canada w'ould be
involved whether or not she had
an agreement with the U.S. to ob
tain nuclear warheads.
“I don’t think the statement rep
resents the feelings of the gov
ernment of the Soviet Union and
it is not to be taken as serious
as its author would seem to have
indicated.”
