SEATTLE EDITOR ANSWERS
THE TEENAGE ‘GRIPE’
At the suggestion of a reader, we’re reprinting
an 'itorial from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer
which gives some good advice to those who com
plain frequently about the “plight” of the teenager.
/■'ways we hear the plaintive cry of the teenager;
“WHAT CAN WE DO .?”
“WHERE CAN WE GO.?”
T can make some suggestions. GO HOME!
Hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork,
rake vhe leaves, mow the lawn, shovel the walk,
warh the car, learn to cook, scrub some floors, re
pair 'he sink, build a boat, get a job.
Help the minister, the Red Cross, the Salvation
Armv. Visit the sick. Assist the poor. Study
your lessons. And when you are through — and
not too tired — read a book.
The World does not owe you a living.
You owe the world something.
You owe it your time and energy, and your
talents so that no one will be at war or in poverty
or sink, or lonely again.
In plain simple words; GROW UP; quit being
a cr^-baby; get out of your dream world; develop
a backbone not a wishbone; and start acting like a
man or a lady.
I’m a parent. I’m tired of nursing, protecting,
helping appealing, begging, excusing, tolerating, deny
ing myself needed comforts for your every whim
and fancy, just because your selfish ego instead of
common sense dominates your personality, and
thinking, and request.

U. S. Orders
Soviet Diplomat
To Leave Country
WASHINGTON, — The Uni
ted States Saturday ordered the
ouster of a Soviet diplomat for
paying hundreds of dollars to an
American in an effort to buy
secret military documents and
Army manuals.
Officials said the diplomat
| failed to get the secret papers
but did obtain some Army man
uals which had never been se
cret. The American was not im
mediately named but the Penta
gon said he was not a member
of the military or a civilian em
ployee of the Armed Forces.
The State Department, announ
cing the action, identified the
Russian as Nikolai I. Kurochkin,
a third secretary of the Soviet
embassy. It said the embassy
had been told to get him out of
the United States immediately
because he is “personna non
grata” (personally unwelcome).
Officials said Kurochkin had
paid at least $450 to the un
identified U. S. citizen.
It is customary and entirely
legal for military representatives
of foreign embassies to buy non
secret manuals from the U. -S.
Armed Services. The embassies
buy the manuals at the usual
government printing office price.
The United States moved
against Kurochkin about three
weeks after the Russians ousted
from Moscow a U. S. embassy
second secretary, John A. Baker
Jr., of Westport, Conn.
Baker, a 30-year-old second
secretary of the U. S. embassy in
Moscow was expelled after So
viet officials charged that he
“systematically violated the
norms behavior for diplomatic
representatives.” The United
States protested that this was not
true.
Issuance Of Liquor
Licenses Ban Close To
Permanent Colleges
JUNEAU, UR — Alaska law
prohibits licensing of new liquor
dispensaries within two miles of
any permanent community col
leges, Atty. Gen. J. Gerald Wil
liams’ office has concluded.
An opinion to this affect was
given John A. McKinney, Liquor
Control Board Secretary, who in
quired whether community col
leges came under the 1957 law
banning issuance of liquor licenses
within two miles of “any college
or university.”
The opinion, by David J. Pree,
assistant attorney general, said
they do—but only such com
munity colleges as “ard located
with reasonable permanency.”
And it quoted Dr. Dorothy No
vatney, director of the Juneau
Community College, as saying
none of the colleges of that class
in Alaska have a permanent lo
cation at this time.
In Juneau and Anchorage
community college classes are
held in high schools; at Ketchi
kan they are scattered in differ
ent locations. Such temporary
quarters, the opinion said, would
not come under the two-mile
law.
But if and when community col
leges are located permanently,
Pree said, the legislative intent
seems clear. “The intent.” he
added, “must have been a de
sire to protect the young people
in attendance from exposure to
demoralizing circumstances which,
by the authority of common
knowledge, seem incident to the
traffic in intoxicating liquor.”

Wire Rope
Men and equipment need

bellow Strand wire rope. Tough, drawn-to-order steel wires
provide the starting point for Yellow Strand’s endurance. Pre
forming then adds greater flexibility and efficiency. This process
neutralizes stiffness and internal stresses and results in a
limber rope that resists kinking and whipping, runs and spools
smoothly and is safer to handle. Ideal for construction, logging
and all uses where wire rope is needed.
