Woman Teacher
Will Return to
» ; . i
School as a Man
, . HAYDON BRIDGE, England iff)
r-When classes 'broke up for the
Easter holiday at Shaftoe Trust
School, students waved goodbye
to their science teacher, Olive
Bury.
When they return, they’ll greet
their science teacher, Donald Ol
iver Bury—the same person.
Bury, 39 and a teacher at the
yschool for 17 years, utilized the
vacation to change her sex offi
cially. The local registrar has al
tered Bury’s birth certificate to
read “Donald” instead of “Olive."
When Bury first joined the
(School staff, she dressed occasion
ally in women's clothes. But for
many years . the science teacher
hasworn riding breeches and jack
.ef as regular dress.
Headmaster Edward Waite said
the change was “simply a legal
correction” and would not affect
Bury’s place in the school.
“I intend to stand firmly by a
! teacher, who has always given me
most lpyal service,” Waite said.
“I don’t know what all the fuss
as about,” said Bury. “I have sim
ply made it clear that I’m a man
asd not a woman.
“I’ve been advised to leave
Haydon Bridge to avoid embar
rassment but I have not made up
my mind yet.”

Nude Portrait
OK for Museum,
Not Nightclub
ROME (iP)—A nude portrait may
hang with probity in a museum
but be improper in a night club—
it all depends on the point of
viewer.
So ruled Judge Francesco Greco
Saturday after five months of con
templation. He "allowed 30 days
for removal of the nude painting
of German actress Lisa Schneider
from a night club wall.
The Italian artist, Novelia Pari
gini, said she would appeal.
The pretty Miss Schneider in
sisted in her suit she had specified
her nude portrait “was not for dis
play in any place open to the gen
eral public.”
“Exposition of a nude in a gal
lery or academy is a very differ
ent thing from exposing it in a
cafe or night club,” Judge Greco
said. “The same public does not
frequent the same places.
“Museums, galleries, academies
are goals of those who truly love
art, however it may be expressed.
Night clubs, however, are fre
quented by a mixed public, among
whom are people who love life
more than art.”
Furthermore, the judge ruled,
Miss Schneider was not a profes
sional model and had not been
I paid for posing.
IMPERIAL PALACE GUARDS

TOKYO, UP)—Crow watching

Asagood Seveck, Kotzebue, Is ‘Fishing’
In States for Tourists to Visit Alaska
SEATTLE UP)—Asagook Seveck,
Kotzebue tourist guide, left Seat
tle for Los Angeles Saturday on a
“fishing trip” for visitors to tour
Alaska.
Seveck, 66, an Eskimo, retired
nine years ago from the nomadic
life of reindeer herding. He since
has become a tourist guide at
Kotzebue, where he takes visitors
for rides in his oomiak (walrus
skin boat), tells them stories, and I
entertains with native dances and
songs.
A few weeks ago, he took out
some hunters from Chicago and
they bagged four polar bears on
the ice east of Kotzebue. Only six
bears have been taken in that area
this year.
Seveck likes tourists, although
they “sometimes ask too many
questions too long ... I get tired.”
The old fellow’s wife, Talik,
stayed at home this trip. She rides
in airplanes like most people do
in taxis, but she has a great fear
of automobiles.
Because of his nomadic life, all
of Seveck’s 11 children were born
in sealskin tents pitched on the
tundra. He officiated as “mid
wife” at the births. Today he has
24 grandchildren.
“I now am great, great father
once,” said Seveck with a proud
grin.
Seveck says his first name, Asa
gook, means old-time person, and
Seveck means medicine man. He
says his wife’s name, Talik, means
arm. “My x-ight arm,” he says.
A believer in traveling light,
Seveck carried only an Eskimo
drum and two small zippered bags.
In Los Angeles, Seveck will join
Frank H. Whaley, managing di
dector of the Alaska Visitors As
sociation, which is sponsoring the
trip.
