Defense
(Cincinnati Enquirer)
That women as well as nr n are
mobilizing for defense is attested
by the fact that the American
Women’s Voluntary Services al
ready has enrolled 10,000 mem
bers in 40 units. This organiza
tion, which maintains to adqua't;
ters in New York, concentrates
upon marshaling trained women
to supplement, and if necessary
to take ov r, much work being
done now by.men.
Although the services an. mod
eled after the British group of
the same name, which has train
ed more than one million women
for a variety of tasks, the Ameri
can organization has borrowed
only some of the modes of train
ing and organization, then adapt
ed these to our own needs.
In addition to offering courses
in communal feeding, nutrition,
first aid. and nursing, the servic
es branch out into fields hitherto
considered the mor or less ex
clusive province of males. There
are classes, for example, in map
reading, automobile repairing,
techniques of communication,
and agriculture.
It is to b. hoped that the wo
men volunteers will not be call
ed upon to practice their new
skills under the conditions of
crisis for which they are prepar
ing. That they are preparing
shows how democracy can b<.
al rl, how its members can or
ganize cooperatively, and how
they will assume new responsibil
iti-es to maintain its integrity.
In Grand
fathers Time—
(Philadelphia Record)
Princeton University has ended
a 195-year ban against students
having liquor in their rooms.
This seems like rather sweep
ing liberalism. But we remember
reading about how the University
of South Carolina cracked down
on its students some 100 years
ego with a decree forbidding
them to keep barrels of whiskey
in their rooms. The ruling was
that the largest vessel that could
be k pt in a student’s room was a
two-gallon demijohn.
As Juvenal said: “Oh, how the
race of man degenerates.”
Antics Of Sun
Confuse Troops
Old Sol, the seagulls, geese and
thi tourists are beginning to
come north to spend the summer.
The sun is getting to bed later
and rising earlier every day. In
another month it will dip down
behind the horizon to snatch for
1 ty winks snd be up again on its
22 or 2't hour-a-day schedule.
Daylight in th. night and the
midnight sun are the major at
tractions and most discussed of
all phenomenon of the Northland
One has to spend the whole sum
mer in Alaska before the novelty
‘of walking outdors in bright sun
lgiht at 11 o'clock at “night”
we.rs off. Summer tourists have
b en known to sit up night after
ngiht seeing just how late it
would be when the sun sets.
But summer visitors miss some
f the world’s greatest shows -
the transition from winter, to
spring, to summer is an awe
piling spectacle. On can note
t o difference in the length of
the d3y from week to week. I;
s, sms as if the world can actual
ly b_> so n turning and the sun
rolling up from the equator.
Of course in the winter the
days are nearly as short as the
nights are in the summer. Half
the morning is gone before tlv.
sun is up, and an hour or two
after lunch it is set again. A little
nursery rhyme by Robert Louis
Stevenson is recalled by most
people who stay here from on.
season to the other. "In winter I
get upat night, and dress by yel
low candle light. In summer,
quite the other way. I have to go
to bed by day.”
Most of th. members of tlv '
Alaska Defense Curp^ came up
last winter. They still have be
fore them the novelty of going
to bed in what appears to be the
middle of the day.
By th. way, just when is the
QM going to break out with some
window shades?- We are begin-'
ning to need them pretty badly
at three o'elack in the nv.rnim
right now.
