MRS. BARNES IS
NON-PARTISAN IN
HER CAMPAIGNING
Candidate Now in Juneau
Accompanied by Her
Sister from Texas
Doris Barnes, former mayor of
Wrangell, led her legislative ticket
when she ran for the House of Rep
! resentatives last year, but she is
| completely non-partisan as far as is
concerned her job as President of
the Alaska Federation of Women's
Clubs.
Though she is a candidate for re
election to the House of Represen
tatives on the Republican ticket,
Mrs. Barnes is in Juneau at present
as head of the Alaska Ft deration of !
Women’s Clubs. She was guest of
honor at a tea given Wednesday by
the Juneau Woman's Club and guest,,
too, of the Woman's Club in Skag
way at tea Sunday afternoon.
As President of the Alaska Fed
eration of Women's Clubs, Mrs.
Barnes was the only delegate from
Alaska at the International Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs convention
in Boston during the first week in
July.
Seven million women from nearly
every country in the world were rep
resented at the Boston ccVclave
which had as its theme. "World Co
operation or Chaos.”
One of the principal speakers at
the convention, Mrs. Barnes said,
was Warren B. Austin, United States
representative to the United Na
tions.
So important to Mrs. Barnes
among the points Mr. Austin made
in his talk to the assembly of wo
men that she made note of it, was
this message, "It is clear that the
will to dominate is modified by the
will to survive and can be restrained
by united security measures. Our
future depends upon how well the
people understand that our civiliza
tion is at stake. The will to be free
can survive only by the enlightened
cooperation for security—all for one
in defense and all for one in re
moval of causes of war.’
Another outstanding speaker at
the convention was Ruth Bryan
Rhode who spoke on World Educa
tion. "An excellent speaker and very
attractive, Mrs. Rhode impressed
upon us the importance of knowledge
and understanding of different
countries and different people
among the peoples of the world,”
Mrs. Barnes said.
At an international night, dele
gates from many foreign countries,
from China, France, Sweden, Nor
way and Czechoslovakia, all in cos- \
tume spoke to the convention in
English.
Sister Interesting
Here, during the interview yes
terday in Mrs. Barnes room at the
Baranof hotel, her sister, Mrs. John
Elliott of Austin, Texas, who is trav
eling with her, joined the conversa- ;
tion because the universal use ofj
English and an equally widespread
use of French or Spanish or other j
foreign language is a hobby with I
'Mrs. Elliott and her husband. Mr.
Elliott, prominent geologist, spent
many years in South American
countries developing oil fields and j
both he and Mrs. Elliott have not
only studied Spanish themselves but
have advocated the introduction of
Spanish and other foreign lan
guages in the primary grades in
our American schools.
"There are so many reasons for
this . . . the understanding of our
| different countries in America from
! a cultural and a business standpoint
and the greater enjoyment of travel
abroad. Nearly every other country
teaches English. It seems important
to us that our schools should give
a foreign language choice in the
lower grades when children can
learn easily,” Mrs. Elliott said.
Mrs. Elliott, who says that she is
"just a housewife," was in Banff
with her husband when, because she
was so near Alaska, she decided to
make the trip to Wrangell to visit
her sister. She had not been in
Alaska for more than 20 years and
in that time finds Alaska has de
veloped tremendously.
With Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. Elliott
made the trip to Skagway and to
Whitehorse. They returned to Ju-1
neau on the Princess Louise andj
will sail for Wrangell on the
Alaska.
At Boston Convention
On her trip to Boston for the con
vention of the International Fed
eration of Women's Clubs, Mrs.
Barnes was accompanied by her
daughter. Miss Dorianne Barnes,
formerly of Juneau and now a Se
attle resident. While her mother at
tended convention meetings that
lasted long into the night. Miss
Barnes went to concerts—the Bos
ton Pops—and did the sight-seeing
for the family. They visited Mrs.
Barnes’ son, Frank, Stanford grad
uate, in Syracuse. N.Y., where he is
sales manager of the television and
broadcast equipment division of
General Electric Company. With
Mr. Barnes and his wife and
daughter, they drove to Montreal for
three days, then south through the
lake counties of New York state.
Before returning west they at
tended a United Nations meeting
at Lake Success. A report of the
United States trusteeship of the
Pacific Islands was on the agenda
of the day and Mrs. Barnes heard
Frances Bowes Sayer and Admiral
Fiske speak. “Though it was just
before the Korean war started, no
thing that was said gave any indi
cation that a war was impending,”
Mrs. Barges said. Among the com
ments by representatives of other
nations, following the report, Mrs.
Barnes mentioned the talk of the
Dominican Republic’s representa
tive, “a woman, who spoke in |
French.” All the other talks wire
in English, Mrs. Barnes commented.
But the reference to the universal
use of English and to the French
of the D.R. representative again lead
to conversation about a more gen
eral study in our schools of foreign
languages.
Has Hobby
"If American youngsters could
start learning Spanish or French or
any other foreign language in gram
mar schools, it would eventually
lead to an international under
standing that is difficult now,”
Mrs. Elliott said, pursuing her
“hobby.”
And foreign language is a hobby
with the Elliott family. “Next to
golf,” Mrs. Elliott said. A member
of the national hole-in-one organi
zation, Mrs. Elliott would like to
play Juneau’s famous "million dollar
course" on the old Alaska Gastineau
tailings.
About languages—-Spanish is her
second language, "and I was nearly
40 when I started to learn Spanish.”
Mrs. Elliott said. Spanish radio pro
grams, books in Spanish transla
tions and, when her speaking Span
ish needs polishing, another trip
to Mexico—these are the methods
Mrs. Elliott uses to keep her foreign
language. “But it would have been
so much easier if I had learned my
Spanish in grammar school.”
To get back to Mrs. Barnes and
her affiliation with the Ala'fra Fed
eration of Women’s Clubs: She
brought back to the clubs the greet
ings of the new General Federation
President, Dorothy Houghton, and
this thought, “that»we may each in
CAP COMBINED
GROUPS WORK,
DEFENSE UNITS
13-week program for training
and practice for participation in
Civil Defense was outlined to Civil
Air Patrol seniors and cadets last
night by Squadron Commander Al
lan G. Marcum.
The combined group started right
out by "getting down to cases” in
the two-hour meeting in the Na
tional Guard Armory.
CAP participation calls for air
patrol of all water lanes, ground
patrol by aircraft or other mobile
means, guarding of strategic areas,
functioning of first-aid .teams, sec
urity in chemical, atomic or germ
warfare, also rescue work and ev
acuation.
Chairmen were appointed with
specific responsibilities for organiz
ing six first-aid teams and several
communications units to use the
CAP walkie-talkies. Others will see
to aircraft and maintenance.
Among chairmen named are
Butch Suhrbier, Frances Paul, E. A.
Hinke and Jacque Fisher, assisted
by Clyde C. <Hank> Schombel.
For readiness in case of emerg- j
ency guard duty, Cadet Commander
Neil Fritchman talked on that
subject, managing to make it hi
larious while yet stressing the im
portance of this dull but essential
task in time of crisis.
Operations Officer Charles E.
Porter led a discussion of regula
tions concerning use of the L-5 air
craft. These included pilot certif
ication and responsibility.
Marcum assigned the entire group
a technical problem for which sol
utions are to be brought to the
meeting next Wednesday.
The Civil Air Patrol is a nation
al, volunteer organization which
is an auxiliary unit of the United
States Air Force. The Juneau
Squadron was activated November
l, 1949.
