This "DO-IT-YOURSELF" businesshas gone so far the U. S. Navy is tak

ing on $10,000,000 worth of fix-upperstuff. Maybe Mr. Robert had somethingto do with it. Anyhow, the old steelbunks and bare port holes and grim bulkheads are going to be dolled up and madeattractive. The Navy, obviously, couldn'tcall in its ships for this brightening-upjob, so it is sending "do-it-yourself" kitsto the men at sea. They will do a bit ofdecorative painting her and there, fix upsome chintz and curtains and make thingssuch as backrests for bunks, hinged walltables and nifty built-in gadgets to holdthings. The Navy, never at a loss for ahandy word, calls it "habitability". Farbe it that tough Mr. Sailorman is gettingsoft. The Navy made a study of thingsand comes up with the conclusion thatour men on the battle-wagons and otherships all down the line can't work to bestadvantage in drab surroundings. Justhow far $10,000,000 will go toward doingthe job cannot be estimated on a "do-it-yourself" basis; neithei" can the number ofsore thumbs and bruised fingers becounted in advance.

STUDY ELECTION RESULTS

Local elections this November will pro»vide few straws in the political winds toshow trends in the national election ayear hence. They will be studied, ofcourse, but not taken as of national significance. The course of events in the nextten months and the personalities of thecandidates themselves and their backgrounds will largely determine the resultsall down the line.

ATOMIC MADE STEEL

Atomic power, when available, maybring important changes to the steel industry, U. S. Bureau of Mines reports.The industry may spread into smallerunits. Iron ore may be produced byatomic power right at the iron-ore site.Electric furnace production of steel fromscrap may be practical in steel consuming centers as a result of low cost atomicpower produced electricity.

DAIRY SURPLUS LOWER

Agriculture Department reports thatsince 1932 dairy price support? have cost

WRITES PROMwASUt

the government a staggering §1,200,000.The situation at last is improving. Purchases of butter, cheese and dried skimmilk from May to now are below those oflast year. By next Spring there is hopesurpluses will be reduced to a level ofno "over-hanging" stocks.

SCHOOL INSURANCE

Accident insurance for school children

in Washington costs §1.50 per child thisyear as against $1.25 last. Reason is thatthe group insurance now covers footballplayer insurance. Last year District highschools paid $7,500 in football playerpremiums. The higher rate now includesthis extra.

IKE'S NEW AUTO

People who see President Eisenhowerpass in review along the street in his newlimousine stare at the odd-looking car. Ithas a sliding panel in the top and thePresident stands up in the opening andwaves to tlie crowds. This is much moreconvenient than the open limousines, but,as one newsman remarked, il looks like ajack-in-the-box.

EXPENSIVE MOSCOW

Foreign embassies in Washington owntheir own property and fix it up to suittheir needs. They can buy anything theywant at regular prices, their currency being exchanged for American money atestablished rates. In Moscow, however,the United States is required to rent itsproperty at $102,500 a year, with the ambassador's residence costing $41,000 morein rent. The rate of exchange for American money is high, and that makes priceshigh.

DIPLOMATIC DITHER

Pakistan's recently appointed ambassador to the United States has two wivesand for a time State Department protocol was tied in a knot. How would youseat two wives at a diplomatic dinner r"Popular Ambassador Ali, however, relieved the tension by announcing thatonly wife No. 2, Canadian born, incidentally. will reside with him at the Embassy. The Ambassador's first wife, however, is well and favorably known in

diplomatic circles here since she waswith Mohamed Ali when he was an envoyhere in 1952-53. Perhaps an exchangecould be arranged later. According toMoslem law, Ambassador Ali could havefour legal wives. Under diplomatic immunity, his two -wives could reside at theEmbassy. We have a firm friend, andone who knows diplomacy, in Ambassador Ali.

CAPITOL VANDALISM

A major repair job is in progress onone of the Capitol s most famous paintings—"The Battle of Lake Erie." It isa huge oil—20 by 30 feet—which hangsover the marble staircase leading to theSenate gallery. Last Spring a vandalhurled a heavy object at the canvas tear-mg a jagged U-shaped hole in it. Paintedby Wilham H. Powell in 1873, the pic-ture depicts Commodore Perry and acabin boy being rowed in a small boatfrom the disabled flagship "Lawrence"to the brig Niagara." That was a des-perate moment in the 1813 battle butwhen It was over Perry sent his immortalmessage-"We have met the enemy andthey are ours." Congress voted S22,500for the repair job.

ONE FOR DAD

Census Bureau Researchers, to makeDad feel better, say a $9,000 college education eventually pays off $103,000. Average lifetime earnings of a college gradare estimated at $268,000, while thehigh school graduate earnings average$165,000. ^ ^

CAPITAL CHIPS

Returns on the Post Office switch toball jioint pens replacing the scratchythings in use since the birth of the nationare encouraging . . . Agriculture is spending $15,000,000 to prop up potato prices,there being a 50,000,000 bushel surplus. . . Bill collection business is growingsteadily according to the American Collectors Assn. . . . Uncle Sam is spending$38,000,000 to help finance private research against disease . . . Cattle on Ike'sGettysburg farm are black Angus, butout in Colorado the cattle are mostlywliite-face Herefords.

PLAN ELKDOM'S PROGRESS

pLKDOM is on the march. It has been my privilege to* attend lodge and State Association meetings fromMaine to California. Everywhere I found countless, enthusiastic Elks vitally interested in Elkdom's dynamictenets and determined as never before to "Serve Elkdom—Live Elkdom."

These two things have impressed me most:

1. The marvelous humanitarian services Elkseverywhere are rendering to the less jortu-innate and

2. How little so many of our members knowof the wonderful work their lodge. StateAssociations and the Grand Lodge aredoing. We should not hide our many andand varied accomplishments. On the contrary, tve should make them better known,not only to the public but also to our oivnmembers. In fact, we need to sell Elkdomto Elks. To do so will help to solve ourmembership control problem.

Immediately following the disastrous flood in New Eng-land and Pennsylvania, Elks responded to the call of humanity in typical Elk fashion. They promptly renderedoutstanding relief work, giving generously of their time,talents and possessions. Clothing and food were furnishedby Elk lodges and State Associations. Many Elks openedtheir homes to the sufferers and lodges were used as reliefheadquarters. This was Elkdom in action.

The demands were so great that I issued an appeal tolodges in the unaffected areas for financial assistance. Ithank all that responded so promptly.

This month we are initiating into our Order thousandsof fine American citizens in "Plan Elkdom's ProgressClass". We will make them better citizens and they willenable us to expand our helpfulness. Unfortunately, however, many of us have friends and neighbors who wouldmake good Elks but who are not joining us simply becausewe fail to invite them. Let's get their applications now and.in getting new members, let us not forget that now is thetime for lodge Secretaries and Lapsation Committees totake the necessary action to decrease the number of delinquents.

All lodges are making plans for beautiful Memorial Serv-ices for the first Sunday m December. Also in Decemberthe lodges wJl observe Elks National Foundation Night. Ihope that every lodge will have a fund-rai<=;>, • . fthe Foundation. ""'"S Project for

Earlier than that conj.es our traditional ThanksgivingDay, wh.^ th;s year falls .n Elk sponsored "Know You^America Week . The theme of this patriotic week is "Con-sider the biessmgs oi freedom", and •

my prayer that Almighty God will cause us to be thankfulas our forefathers and breathe the spirit of Thanksgivinginto the hearts of all of us—not just for the week but forall the weeks of our lives.

What a glorious privilege it is to be an Elk! And so with theprivilege of being an Elk, there is also a duty to Serve Elkdom—

Live Elkdom.

As a regular reader of your magazineI wish to call your atttention to an interesting pair of facts in connection withTom Wrigley's "last name in the phonehook" item in your August issue. I havebeen told that the last name in the LosAngeles phone book is spelled "ZZYZZ"and I have seen that the last name in theDetroit phone book is, "Believe It orNot," spelled "ZZZPT." I think it mostlikely that this will end the last namebusiness.

This article, In conjunctionv/ith Part I in our September issue, Isthe result of his observations duringa visit to Formosa late last summer.

cultural, political and social reforms thathave been put into effect, which give Nationalist leaders hope that their goal maybe achieved.

The island of Formosa lies slantwiseacross the west Pacific, its nearest pointonly about a hundred miles from themainland of China. It is about 14,000square miles in area, approximately thesize of our states of Massachusetts andNew Jersey combined. The differencebetween them, however, is that while boththese states lend themselves to a welldistributed population with unrestrictedopportunity for agricultural and industrial development, Formosa is three-quarters forest covered mountain, and

only one-quarter arable and inhabitablelowland.

The Pescadores, lying thirty mileswestward and generally considered a unitwith Formosa, are a group of small, flatislands, which seem for all the worldlike irregularly shaped pancakes floatingon the surface of the blue Formosa Strait.Flying over their intensely cultivated,checkerboard surface, they seem eventinier than the fifty square miles the surveys assure us they are.

No matter where you stand- on Formosa, you are overshadowed by vastmountain ranges. From one end of theisland to the other, from north to soutli.their massive peaks-, towering as hin^h insome places as 11,000 feet, wall the'low-lands in the west from the broad Pacificto the east. There is no access from oneto the other. To travel from Taichungon the central west coast to Hualien onthe east, one has to go by road all theway around the island, either north orsouth.

Chinese immigration to Formosa begansome three hundred years ago, mostlyfrom 1" ukien, the province directly westacross the Strait. In 1895, at the end ofthe Sino-Japanese War, the island wasceded to Japan. For fifty years, until theend of World War II, Japan held it as acolonial possession. With rare exceptions, its people were restricted in education to six years of elementary gradeschooling, and to menial and subordinatejobs in government and industry. At theend of World War II, the 250,000 Japanese residents in Formosa were repatriated lo Jajian. In the winler of 1949 the

seat of the government of the Republicof China withdrew to the island from themainland; and today Formosa has a population of some eight million native Chinese Formosans, and two million voluntary exiles, about one quarter of whomare in the armed forces.

The Republic of China, generallyspoken of in the West as the NationalistGovernment, has dedicated itself to creating in Formosa the "show-case" economy it was in the process of developingon the mainland when it was overthrownby the Reds with Soviet aid. Because ofthe weakened state of the nation, aftereight years of war against Japan andCommunist subversion, the program onthe mainland proceeded too slowly to enable it to become an effective bulwarkagainst Red undermining and aggression.

In Formosa, the Republic's Vice President Chen Cheng was determined thatthere should be no procrastination inovercoming the major problem that formany decades had been a source ofmisery for the majority of the Chinesepeople—redistribution of the land sothat the farmers, the majority of whomhave been sharecroppers, may own theland they cultivate.

To the Chinese people, of whom ashigh as 80 per cent on the mainland, and54 per cent on Formosa, are farmers, aland reform such as this spells the difference between poverty and prosperity;and the difference between a buyingpower on the part of the majority of thepeople that would spur business and industry, and economic stagnation. Nosuch advances could take place as longas the tenant-farmer had to pay as highas 65 per cent to 70 per cent of his cropin land rent, interest and taxes. And theNationalist Government's attempt to reduce this by legislation to 25 per cent,in 1947, was too little and too late.

Similar tenant-farmer conditions, prevalent in many countries in the Far East,existed in Formosa when the NationalistGovernment first arrived there in 1949.

The changes that have been wroughtsince then by a three-cornered cooperative venture by landowners, tenants andgovernment, are striking and profound.They have in all respects made Formosathe "show-case" of land-to-the-tiller programs wherever they may be needed, inthe Far East or elsewhere.

During my stay in Formosa, I visitedfactories, agricultural and health stations, travelled the highways, the railroad, and by air, and accompanied bygovernment engineers inspected the water conservation and hydroelectric projects already built and those under construction.

The most important and undoubtedlythe most spectacular of all the programs

PENNSYLVANIA SESSION

The 49th Annual Convention of the

Pennsylvania Elks Assn. in HarrisburgAug. 21-24 found its attendance far lessthan anticipated; the hurricane floods inthe northeastern portion of the State limited the number of delegates from thatsection. However, more than 1,800 Elksand their ladies attended the public opening session at which Mayor Claude Robins and Lt.-Gov. Roy E. Furman extend-ed a civic welcome, to which retiringPres. Ruel H. Smith responded.

Among the officials of the Order present at this meeting were Grand ExaltedRuler John L. Walker, Grand Secy. LeeA. Donaldson, and Past Grand ExaltedRulers Charles H. Grakelow, George I.Hall and Howard R. Davis.

The fine talk delivered by Elkdom'stop executive at the first business session

was very well received, as were the remarks made by Pres. Harley Olsen of theNorth Carolina Elks Assn., another special Convention guest.

The annual Student Aid luncheon wasattended by 70 scholars, their parents,sponsors and Grand Lodge and State officials, who participated in the presentation of scholarsliip cliecks to 28 youngmen and women, among them Rose Scar-piello of Ambridge who won the third-place $800 Elks .National FoundationAward. Tliree otlier students of the Key

stone State who won Honorable Mentionin that competition, received checks ofS500 each.

Drungle, anewsboy of Scranton, receive the Carnegie Foundation National Hero Awardas the result of his rescuing a drowningcompanion from an abandoned mineholelake. The young man accepted the awardfjom Scranton P.E.R. Jerome Myers.

Just before the Grand Exalted Rulerand Mrs. Walker left the Convention Cityfor their home on Tuesday, Mr. Walkerpresented to Past Grand Exalted RulerDavis a §1,000 check as a Grand Lodgecontribution for Elk relief work in theflood-ravaged areas of the Stale. This wasmatched immediately by a Sl.OOO Association check, and the next morning,when the full extent of the disaster wasmade public, the delegates authorized Mr.Davis to wire each of the State's 124lodges for additional flood relief donations. so that the Elk fund for that purpose could reach the desired §10,000very quickly.

The Annual Memorial Service was directed by K. L. Shirk, Jr.. P.E.R. of Lancaster Lodge, with Past Pres. Edward D.Smith as memorial speaker and PastPres. Wilbur Warner eulogizing Daniel J.Miller, the Assn.'s only former leader topass away during the year.

A Time to Remember...

WHEN THE FIRST casualties ofWorld War II were announced, the

Elks made this solemn pledge: "So LongAs There Are Veterans In Our Hospitals,the Benevolent and Protective Order ofElks Will Never Forget Them".

How well has this pledge been kept?On Veterans Day, 1955, we pause toexamine the record; proudly we find thatin spite of the public's present-dayapathy and apparent disinterest in theunheralded tasks being performed behindhospital walls, with a zeal that is inspiring our Committees continue to laborconstantly and unselfishly to "serve thosewho served".

Their work is carried on in all partsof the United States. Their benevolenceis ever present in 172 Veterans Administration Hospitals.

We Serve 127,000

The tremendous scope of the Elks National Service Commission program atthe present time is better realized whenwe consider that on the average day,there will be 106,000 patients in 172 VAHospitals; domiciliaries account for 17,-000 more, and 4,000 are in contract hospitals. About 60,000 of them have variousmental troubles; another 16.000 are suffering from tuberculosis, and 6,000 haveheart and circulatory ailments; 3.000 willbe cancer and tumor patients; arthritisand the like account for another 3,000,and 2,000 will be paraplegics. The balance may be considered those beingtreated for recurring ailments resultingfrom war casualties.

It is for these thousands, then, thatyour programs of encouragement, cheerand comfort range from friendly bedsidechats or a hospital errand to professional

14

that the Elks have not forgotten

variety entertainment, card parties, bingo,boxing, wrestling and other athletic programs. Patients are taken in groups tosports events outside hospital limits.

This type of activity can be describedas Companionship Therapy, in whichhundreds of our members and their families excel. In the occupational therapyfield the Elks have done well, too, particularly in connection with supplyinghighly valuable and much needed leather to our VA Hospitals, whose budgetscannot provide this expensive luxury.We have won nationwide acclaim forthe choice leather hides we have supplied. processed in brilliant colors, a supply whose total value through the yearsexceeds a quarter of a million dollars.Its chief source has been the CaliforniaState Elks Association, although manyother State Associations, notably Massachusetts. augment this supply throughlocal sources. Radios, television sets andsundry appliances are contributed in aneffort to keep minds and fingers busy,easing the boredom of long confinement,and training our veterans for employableskills upon their discharge.

On the ^'Medical Team"

Underlying all phases of our programis the effort to give the patients a senseof self-respect—the sense of being "wanted", so that his recovery is l%aslened anda quick return to his community in a respected and useful capacity is assured.Hence, our Elks and their ladies are recognized as an important part of the"Medical Team" in every one of the hospitals they visit.

Furthering our hospital programs isthe newly-launched project aiding theveteran to find employment after hospital

discharge, thus speeding his rehabilitation through his own sense of self-sufficiency and self-reliance.

Fraternal Centers Continued

Youthful draftees in Service are notforgotten either. Ten Fraternal Centersprovide havens of hospitality in Tucson,Ariz.. Santa Maria, Calif.. Key West,Fla.. Columbus and Valdosta, Ga.. Wau-kegan. 111., Louisville, Ky.. Columbia andSumter, S. C., and Cheyenne, "Wyo. Herethe lonely service trainee finds a friendly"home away from home" where his uniform is honored as a badge of dignity,and where he can find wholesome recreation during off-duty hours.

Our servicemen stationed in far-offKorea are also remembered; 1.200.000cigarettes are sent to them each year;their letters of acknowledgment indicatea real and sincere appreciation of allElks for this "touch of home" in a remote corner of the world.

Money and Time

Financial aid from the National Commission to assist committees in the performance of their dedicated tasks exceeds$325,000 annually, a sum more thanmatched by lodges and State Associations—not only with funds, but, moreimportant, with priceless duty hours atall hospitals, the monetary value of whichcannot be computed.

Thus on Veterans Day, 1955, we asElks rededicate ourselves to our pledgenever to forget our country's defenders,happy in the knowledge that wheneverand wherever we have been afforded anopportunity to serve those who served,our record has been one of immediateand enthusiastic response.

SANDERS of UGIARed Sanders works for the boys who work for him —which explains

why his UCLA Bruins are a football power across the nation,

BY TOM SILERSporiswriter for the Knoxville "News-Sentinel"

Twenty-five years of footballcoaching—a hazardous way to make

a living at best—has done nothing todampen the wit, nor dull the tongue ofHenry R. Sanders, whose UCLA teamsare currently riding the high tide of victory on ihe West Coast.

A few years ago the University ofFlorida tried to lure Sanders away. Some2.000 students serenaded the Sanders'apartment, a token of their admirationfor the football master with the built-ingrin.

"No coach in the world is worth all thisexcitement," said the coach to his prettywife, Ann, then added, "I wonder whichone has tlie rope."

A few weeks ago a Los Angeles newspaperman was interviewing Sanders onthe common mistakes of the footballcoach—mistakes in scouting, during thegame, and in judgment—and wound upby asking, "What is the greatest mistakea coach can make?"

"To run out of material," quippedSanders, deadpan and about as serious ashe ever gets.

A look at the record would indicatethat Sanders—known as "Red" sincechildhood because of an inordinate fond

ness for red sweaters—has made fewmistakes. Going into the 1955 campaignhis six years at UCLA added up to ahandsome record of 43 victories, 12 defeats and one tie. The Bruins had lost

only three Pacific Coast Conferencegames in four years. They captured theleague championship in 1953 and 1954;and the 1954 powerhouse, undefeatedand untied, shared the national championship with Ohio State and won thefirst annual Grantland Rice Award votedby the Football Writers Association ofAmerica. Sanders himself won the highly-prized Scripps-Howard Coach-of-the-Vear title.

One major goal looms ahead for Sanders—Rose Bowl victory. His defeatthere after a brilliant 1953 season onlywhetted his appetite for revenge. Onelapse turned that memorable battle into

a 28-20 triumph for Michigan State, theBig Ten champion. The Uclans led, 14-0,with four minutes left in the first half.Paul Cameron, the Ail-American tailback,went back to punt on fourth down fromthe 10 and already the Bruins had visionsof going to halftime with a solid two-touchdown margin. However, Ellis Duck-ett raced in on Cameron and blocked

the punt—he almost grabbed the ball offtlie kicker's toe—scooped up the balland ran over for a touchdown. UCLAnever recovered from the shock. Red

was shaken, too—it was the first blockedpunt against him in 11 years as a headcoach, six at Vanderbilt, five at UCLA.

It is characteristic of Sanders that he

permitted no hangover from that painfulexperience. The Bruins bounced backlast fall stronger than ever, but the teamwas denied a shot at Ohio State in theRose Bowl by conference rules—no teamcan go two years in a row. Now eligibleagain, the Bruins are generally rated asthe team to beat for a return trip to thePasadena classic, and as a nationalpower again.

I AST September an AP poll of sportsL. writers spotlighted UCLA as the teammost likely to win the national title againthis fall. Asked to comment, Sanderssaid, "That's the biggest joke I everheard." He called his squad togetherand said, "This squad has just beenpicked in a nationwide poll to win thenational championship," whirled aroundand walked off the field. The tinge ofsarcasm in his voice put new zip in thedrills.

Red was on solid ground when he disparaged the writers' glowing predictions.He pointed out that the entire first stringline of 1954 was gone. The Uclansbreezed past the rebuilding Texas Aggiesteam, 21-0, in the first game of 1955,but missed the seasoned campaignersa week later against Maryland, also atop-flight contender for national honors.Maryland won, 7-0. Even in defeat,however. Sanders' gang indicaied it will

be hard to keep out of the Rose Bowlnext January.

The pressure builds up in this situation. Yet Sanders doesn't operate like ahigh pressure guy. Unlike most coaches.Red seldom bothers his siaff on Sundaysafter the weekend games. The battleanew begins on Monday. Three of his assistants—Deke Brackett. Jim Myers andBilly Barnes—use their Sundays to pickup a few bucks scouting National Football League teams playing in Los Angelesor San Francisco.

"Red definitely isn't the finger-nail-biting type of coach," observed Myers,the line coach. "He plans the show andgives up the objective. We don't waste alot of time on the superfluous."

Brackett recalled that Sanders occasionally would wave everybody off thepractice field. "If he thought thingsweren't going right," Deke said, "or hada hunch about something, he would justcall off the whole thing and start overthe next day."

Sanders is probably best known as asuperb organizer. He delegates theduties to a staff of seven, reserves thebarbed-tongue assignments for himself, achore that does not endear him to theathletes. Last spring one of the betterhalfback candidates told friends, "I'mgoing to quit the first time Coach Sandersjumps me." Sanders, of course, heardabout the remark.

"Gentlemen," said Red in a squadmeeting, "there is a player among youwho has said he will quit the first time 1get on him. I say to that player that hecan quit right now, because I'm going tobe watching everything he does fromnow on."

The player, of course, worked harderthan ever. Red is tough, but the athletesrespect that toughness. Friend and foealike marvel at the way the players "putout" for Sanders. However, even Red'sstaunchest admirers wondered if the celebrated Ronnie Knox wouldn't be toomuch for him. Three years ago Knox

A small-sized armada is shaping

up for the coming cruise season.

For any sufferer from the cold whofeels he needs to be evacuated to the

lands of palm and balm, a small-sizedarmada is shaping up in the nation'sports. To Hawaii, the Caribbean, and toSouth America the ships will transportsome 25,000 passengers. According to anestimate made by one major travel agent,American Express, cruisers will spendmore than §20 million on ship fares,shore excursions, and local dust collectors.

The three major ports of departurewill be New York, New Orleans, and LosAngeles and San Francisco, althoughGalvesion will tap the rich Texas market.Two ships will buzz around the world—ihe Kungsholm" in 97 days touching attu(!h exotic out-of-the-way places as

18

Funchal. .\den. Bangkok and Bali: andthe "Caronia" in 108 days putting in.among other places, at Tristan de Cunha.Durban. Colombo, and, praise be. LongBeach, Cal.

Besides the regular steamship servicethat ferries vacationers southward no matter the season, there will be at least sixty-eight special cruises, most of them bytransatlantic liners which have been diverted from the choppy and frigid NorthAtlantic run much to the delight. I wouldsuspect, of their crews. Among the famous names ihat will show up on theatolls of the West Indies will be the ma-je.stic lie de France" which is bookedfor three twelve-day cruises, one departing December 22nd for ihose who want atro])ical Christmas and the other two on

January 6 and March 2nd. Later the liewill make a pair of 17-day excursions andon these trips it will put by at St. Kitts,Fort de France, Barbados, Port of Spain,Puerto Cabello, Curacao, Cristobal andMatanzas. Who could ask for anythingmore?

That trim little cruiser of the FrenchLine, the "Flandre" takes off out of Gal-veston on January 17th and from NewOrleans on February 7 and 25th. A selection of ports of call for these trips mightinclude San Juan, Fort de France. Portof Spain, La Guaira, Curacao and SanBias. The minimum tariff for this kindof a lark would come to Sl'70. but thereare a number of other sails into the sunthai go for less.

While I am on the matter of the oceanliners which have been displaced southward I must make menlion of the "Mau-

retania'', that stand-by of the CunardLine, which begins its season in the sunwith a Christmas cruise December 22nd.It will look in on Nassau, Curacao. King-st(m, Havana, St. Thomas. Martinique,Trinidad. Cartagena. Cristobal. P<)rt-au-Prince, Antigua and Barbados. If anyone can remember one j)orl from antither

after that rundown it will be a surpriseto all hands.

Those past masters of the cruise business, the Dutch, will send the "NieuwAmsterdam" southward on December 17on a seventeen-day Christmas trip stopping at the usual ports. Thereafter thebig Holland America liner heads for thepalms on January 5, February 4 and 24and March 12. While these trips beginat the edge of the §500 bracket, those air-conditioned tourist class liners, the"Ryndam" and "Maasdam". can get youa sun tan for less. For instance, the"Maasdam's" January 5th departure outof New York will spend fifteen days,enough for the average man, visiting Portau Prince, Cartagena, San Bias, Cristobal, and Havana at a minimal outlayof $290.

I mentioned before that a number ofsouthbound trips could be had for reasonable amounts of cash, and in this regard I would like to point out that theGreek liner "Olympia" trots to Nassauand Havana for a week at a minimum of^175, and so, for that matter, does the"S. S. Nassau" which, despite its name,sails with an Italian crew. The "Nassau"

also goes, perish the coincidence, to Nassau for seven days at $155. The "Queenof Bermuda" offers five-day cruises toBermuda, of course, at slightly less, butbear in mind that you will have to debarkand find a cabin ashore once the shipputs in to Hamilton.

Out of New Orleans the fanciest rig, Iguess, is the famed yacht "Stella Polaris"which is scheduled for excursions of anywhere from 16 to 24 days, all in the

All duck hunters are in the process of learning

how to hunt ducks—none learn all the answers.

I AM AMAZEDagain each autumn

by the number of menwho are not duck

hunters huntingducks. There is a

difference. Anybodycan hunt ducks; tobecome a duck hunter

requires study andthought and application—and real enthusiasm.

A friend of mine broke his leg one fall,just before the opening of the season.Naturally, he had to spend some time inthe hospital, but as soon as he got outhe began attempting to devise a wayto hunt.

First, he augmented his conventionalequipment with a swivel chair and anapple box. Then he hired two men.They drove him to the pond where heintended to hunt, put out the decoys andset the swivel chair and box in the blind.Then they carried my friend to it, set himin the chair and propped his broken leg,still in its plaster cast, up on the box. Heshot this way for several weeks. He wasa duck hunter.

The first thing a man must have to bea duck hunter is enthusiasm. Without it,he is licked before he starts. In our country the opening day of the season sees amass exodus from office, store, shop andfarm. Everybody who owns a sliotgun isout. Every pothole, pond, slough, creekand river is lined with hopeful nimrods,crouching in the reeds, shouting at theirassorted dogs, dashing frantically fromone spot to another and blowing loudlyon their duck calls.

About ten per cent of the opening-daycrowd are real duck hunters who can'twait any longer. The remainder can bedivided into three groups: Those whowon t go again, those who will go oncemore, and those who will try it twicemore.

We sometimes hunt a spot where theSnake River widens to flow around agroup of islands. The road ends on thebank opposite them and the hunters parktheir cars there and put in their boats.

Last opening day we had finishedshooting i)y the middle of the afternoonand as we were picking up the decoys Inoticed a car pull up and park on theriver bank beside the others alreadythere. Somebody got out, puttered around

a while and then spread a big piece ofwhite canvas over some brushes at theedge of the water.

When we arrived at the landing we discovered that it was a man hunting ducks.He had on oxfords and nicely pressedslacks. He had put four decoys in thewater, close enough to the bank so thathe could drag them out with a stick, andhe was sitting under the white canvas.Obviously, he hoped that a duck wouldfly within range. He bad a shotgun.

But he was no more than fifty feetfrom several cars, which no duck withinmiles could help seeing, and the canvaswas about eight feet square. It alonewould scare away any duck in its rightmind. On top of all that, sitting underthe canvas as he was, he would have beenunable to shoot if one /tad come by.

I THINK some of the opening-day enthusiasts are there because they have

seen the happy hunters in the ads. Thesephotogenic nimrods always have big bagsof game and they are invariably clean,fresh and immaculately dressed. Tain'tso! A successful duck hunter is eitherhot, sweaty and mosquito bitten or shivering and wet, depending on the season.His clothes are well worn, ragged aroundthe edges and stained from repeated contact with outboard motor grease, mud,blood and grime.

Some of the people who hunt ducksquit when they discover these truths.Others go out on the opening day because

BY TED TRUEBLOOD

shooting starts at noon and they don'thave to get up early. Many, of course,realize that the ducks are innocent thenand much easier to bag than they will bea month later. Some like to hunt onlywhen the weather is pleasant.

Anyway, for one reason or another, alot of the folks who start the duck season

with high hopes fizzle out before it hasprogressed very far. That leaves the fieldwide open to the real duck hunters andthe ducks.

All duck hunters are in the process oflearning how to hunt ducks. Naturally,the longer a man has been at it the morehe will know, but nobody ever has all theanswers and that probably is the sport'sgreatest attraction.

Last fall our first cold snap started onNovember 29, and two days later ourfirst big flight of northern ducks arrived.My wife and I were set up on a potholenot far from home, decoys out and readyto shoot, half an hour before sunrise, butwe didn't get a duck until 10 a.m. Thenthey began to move and we shot twelvemallards in the next two hours. The following day we were there early again,and this time we killed our limit between10:30 and 1:00. So on the third day we gotup late and were in our blind with thedecoys out at 10 o'clock. The ducksnever did fly and, although we stayeduntil the legal quitting time, we only gottwo. Why? I wish I knew.

The ducks were there. We could seethousands of them sitting on the openwater of a big lake nearby. The weatherwas exactly the same all three days. Wedidn't burn out our pothole because wewatched hundreds of ducks pour into itafter we quit shooting the second after-

noon. They just didn't come into it thethud day and, not being a duck, I can'teven guess at the reason.

In order to be a duck hunter a manhas to learn to take disappointment instride. There will be days when you won'tget any, no matter how much you know,how many ducks there are in the countrynor how good a setup you have. Somedays they won't decoy and a call onlyseems to frighten them away. Then,though you may rearrange your decoysa half a dozen times and blow your callsoftly or not at all, they still won't comewithin range. A man who merely huntsducks is likely to quit for the season aftera couple such experiences, but a realduck hunter can remember similar daysin the past. He may not be able to explain what is wrong, but he knows thatthe ducks likely will pour in like crazythe very next day.

One of the surest indications of a duckhunter—as distinguished from a man whomerely hunts ducks—is this: He seldomshoots at a bird that is out of range. Aman who merely hunts ducks throws farmore lead at fowl he has no chance ofkilling than he does at those he could.

I went out one day last winter with acouple of young fellows who, no doubt,will become duck hunters eventually because they do have the enthusiasm, butat that time they still had a lot to learn.We had a big stool on the upstream pointof an island and there was a brisk up

stream wind. This meant that every duckthat intended to settle among the decoyshad to come straight in to the point of theisland. Ducks don't light when they aretraveling with or across the wind. Andour blinds were on the point, directlybehind the decoys. This should haveinsured us the easiest kind of shootingwith our first shots at the birds as theycame in, wings cupped and landing geardown, and the second as they flared upover the blinds.

Most of the ducks that morning weremoving downstream, against the

wind, and they came well to the call. We'dopen up on them when they still wereseveral hundred yards away and whenthey saw the decoys they'd set their wingsand start to come down. They had toomuch altitude to drop right in the firsttime, however, so they'd swing by eitherto right or left, cross the island, circleback upstream on the other side and thencome straight into the decoys to lightagainst the wind.

That is, the few flocks that were allowed to did. Most of them went by thefirst time at a range of 80 yards or so,and the boys could hold their fire. Afterthey crossed the island and came backwith the wind they usually were between50 and 60 yards away and my companionswould have the fidgets so bad by thistime that they couldn't resist shooting.

The resuU was that far more ducks

were missed than hit, and most of thosethat were brouglit down were crippled.The river had a brisk current. Everycrippled duck meant a long chase withthe boat. That was my job.

Naturally, I didn't like it because nineout of ten flocks that circled would havecome around again. Then they wouldhave been easy shooting where we couldhave killed them dead and picked themup from shallow water in which the decoys were set.

I didn't say anything, however. Mycompanions were good boys who didn'tlack anything but experience and theycouldn't help it if they were unable tohold still in the blind or keep from shooting until the ducks were witliin surerange. As I said before, tliey have enthusiasm. and given another fifteen ortwenty years they'll be duck hunters.

There are places in this country whereit is no longer possible for a man to goduck hunting on his own, setting out hisown stool and making his own decisionsas to the best location for his blind andthe other problems that must be solved.A man shooting in a club or public shooting ground, where the blinds are assignedby lot, takes what he is given and doesthe best he can under the circumstances.H the wind is wrong there is nothing hecan do about it.

Fortunately, however, there still are regions where a man can use his own judg-

Caribbean circuit. Some stop directly atMontego Bay, Jamaica, in the height ofthat resort's social winter season. TheAlcoa cruises which start out of NewOrleans terminate, for reasons that escape me, but I'm sure are perfectlycomprehensible to the people of Alabama,at Mobile. They begin at $525 and takeabout 16 days. For anyone with heapsof time, and I would think, equal heapsof money, the "Del Sud" and the "DelMar" warm up with a stop at St. Thomasand then zoom for Rio, Santos, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, and on the wayhome, Curacao.

The "Stella Polaris" will make onebeaut from New Orleans whence it departs on March 31st bound for sixty-eightdays in the Mediterranean. Among itsfanciful stops will be, after Havana andSt. Thomas, Philippeville, the Isle ofRhodes, the fabulous Greek islands ofDelos and Santorin, Nauplia in the Peloponnesus. It will course through theCorinth Canal, not to mention the Kotorfjord of Yugoslavia, touching at Du-brovnik, a delightful medieval city stillpreserved by the Yugoslavs. All it willrelieve you of is $1,490.

The "Independence"' follows the trendto the Greek Islands too, but it will also

For Elks Who Travel

(Continued from page 19)

stop off on the way at the Canary Islands.Madeira and Egypt. The "Britannic"will spend 66 days touring North Africa,the Near East and the glamor ports ofItaly, Spain, and France. -You drop§1,275 in the fare box for this cruisein luxury.

That brings me to the West Coast andin this regard I would like to point outthat the "Lurline", that stand-by of theMatson people, sails from San FranciscoDecember 21 and from Los Angeles thenext day on a fourteen-day cruise toHonolulu and Hilo, returning to Los Angeles. The minimum fare js $311.50, aprice tag which includes your hotelashore. Matson Owns several along thefringes of Waikiki. Thereafter the "Lurline" departs more or less regularly everytwelve days to Those Delightful Islands,

with the minimum roundtrip fare scaledat $260.

American President Lines takes off

every three weeks from San Franci.<5cnand two days later from L. A., bound notonly for Hawaii, but also Yokohama,Manila, Hong Kong, and Kobe. Thewhole business takes 42 days and comesto $1,147. It is a handsome trip andthere are days to be sure, when you canswim in the outdoor pool. There will bedays, too. when you will be grateful forthat big floating American hotel that isso nice to come home to.

For those with dreams of Tahiti—does

that leave anyone out?—there is an immense white schooner sailing out of LosAngeles every few months or so, makingwhat even the most conservative creator

of prose would have to call the trip of alifetime. The schooner, named the "TeVega" puts in first at Honolulu, thenheads south to romance. It docks atPapeete harbor, Tahiti, for five or sixdays, then spends the next eleven cruisingthe Society Islands, which is to say, BoraBora, Moorea, Tahiti Iti and like that. Iwon't go into the price as I would rathernot spoil your interlude, but you have toadmit it's a nice way of staying warmonce the mercury congeals.

with Ed Faust

To the enthusiastic huntsman thereis no sport in all the world to equal

hunting and no dogs so highly prized aswell-broken field dogs. I know thatamong the more than a million men whoare Elks there are thousands of hunters.

1 know this because about a year agoan Elks Magazine survey revealed thatno less than 41.3% reported an activeinterest in the sport. The many letters Ireceive from readers lend further supportto this fact. While the letters deal with

one subject—a dog—as the hunting seasons approach more and more of themare concerned with gun dogs, their careand handling, although throughout theyear I'm asked questions about the training of such dogs.

America has been blessed with a widevariety of feathered game such as pheasant, quail, grouse, snipe, woodcock, duck,coot, goose and teal while rabbit and'coon are the principal furred crittersthat call for the employment of dogs.Fortunately, too, there's a wide varietyof hunting dogs, among which there's atleast one breed acceptable to the mostcaptious critic among huntsmen. Ofcourse, Tm referring to the pure bredsamong the dogs, although it has beenknown that dogs of mixed breedingsometimes do take the field in ways thatare frequently effective. But the purebred is more often the choice of the experienced gunner, as such dogs are de-scendents of generations of ancestors thathave been trained for hunting. Whilenearly all dogs are natural hunters thereare a few—and they'll be found in almostevery breed—in whom the instinct toliunt is so dormant as to be nearly nonexistent. Jsuch, however, are rare. Nowthe dog. no matter how proficient as anatural hunter, has to he trained to cooperate in hunting with man. That'sjust what training does for the huntingdog; it teaciies him to cooperate with thehuntsman. Without such training thedog would be more likely to become ahindrance than a hetj).

Perhaps the most popular among thebreeds actually used for hunting are thesetters. True, some of the spaniels aremore favored among the general publicbi^cause. being smaller dogs, they m()rereadily fit in as house pets. Also, for

In ihe DoghouseThere's a dog for almost every hunting purpose.

hunting use they are not as powerful asthe setters and other larger huntingbreeds, which is important when thegame is located in country covered byheavy brush making it difficult for thesmaller spaniel to break through. .Thepointers and retrievers are other reliablebreeds for field work, with a comparativenewcomer from Germany, the weimara-ner, rounding out the list for what isdesignated as group 1 "Sporting Dogs 'by the American Kennel Club, the organization which governs the formalactivities of pure bred dogs and keepsthe stud books without which a dog'spedigree would not be verifiable. However, among this group as well as thedogs in "Group 2", another division ofsporting dogs which includes all thehounds, not all that are registered areactually used in the field, many beingkept as show or bench dogs or simply forpet purposes. The American KennelClub, or A.K.C. as it is known amongthe cognoscenti, not only verifies pedigrees but licenses dog shows, obediencetests and field trials. In 1954 no lessthan 51.308 dogs competed in field trials.

• /

Field trials are events wherein dogscompete with each other under actualhunting conditions. Dogs are judged byperformance and awarded ribbons andother prizes. There has long been a differ,ence of opinion between exhibitors ofsporting dogs for bench shows only andthose who breed them for the huntingfield. The latter have claimed tliat thebench show dogs being bred largely forappearance are too finely formed for fieldwork and are not rugged enough. Also,there are those who'll tell you that thebench show dog is a witless fellow whois related in name only to the moresturdy gun trained field worker. Manybreeders of sporting show dogs have indignantly denied this. However, there'sa tendency for both camps to get together, to try to produce dogs that, whilebeing excellent examples of conformation to a breed standard, will also bestronger and more proficient for actualhunting.

Among the forty breeds that compriseGroups 1 and 2 of the sporting dogsthere's such variety that it would be

GER CONTESTS GET UNDER WAY

WITH CALL FOR LODGE REPORTSGrand Exalted Ruler Walker's Membership Control Program moved in high

gear when he asked every Lodge to submit to the Grand Secretary a completereport on its membership and delinquencies as of September 30, 1955.

In a letter to Exalted Rulers, the Grand Exalted Ruler asked them to report onthe number of members initiated from April to October, the number reinstatedand the number dropped for non-payment of dues in the same period, and thenumber of members delinquent six months since March 31, 1955, a year sinceSeptember 30, 1954, and the number delinquent for over a year.

At the same time, each Lodge was notified of the number of debit pomts withwhich it entered the Grand Exalted Ruler's Dues Delinquency and LapsationImprovement Contest, which ends March 31, 1956. The debits are ^^sed on thenumber of delinquents on each Lodge's record as of March 31, 1955. Object of theContest is to improve on that record by collecting outstanding dues and by reinstating members who have lapsed.

To make the Contest fair, Lodges with similar records are pitted against oneanother.

This Contest will, of course, have an important bearing on the results of theNet Gain in Membership Contest, which rounds out the Membership ControlProgram. Lodges are competing for the highest net gain, the goal for theOrder set at a 5 per cent increase, and a substantial reduction in the number ofmembers dropjjed for non-payment of dues will make an important contributiontowards that goal.

Sanders of UCLA( Continued

WSLS the most famous and sought-afterprep star in California, a youngster whosefootball future was complicated by aliovering and doting father, Harvey Knox.

Tiie youth enrolled at University ofCalifornia in 1953, later quit, accordinglo his dad, because the offense wasn'taltered to suit the boy's style of play.Ronnie transferred to UCLA. To date

there have been no rhubarbs. Sanders

expects none. Father Knox remains inthe background and probably will aslong as Ronnie does well. The youngstertossed three touchdown passes in his firstgame and performed capably on defense.

Knox, in Sanders' calculations, is justone of the boys, or as he calls them, "thehorses." Red is extremely reluctant tolaunch into a long-winded dissertation ontechniques, strategy or psychology.

"The boys do the playing, not thecoach." he says, succinctly. "Give mematerial. The difference betweenning and losing is having the horses.

Hundreds of coaches abandoned thetime-tested single wing offense for theT-formalion in the 1940's and moved onto the predominant Split-T offense in the1950's. Not Sanders. He has nevercoached anything but the single wingwith a balanced line.

"Some call the single wing a horse andbuggy offense." he says. '"Maybe it 'S,l)ul 1 likf to think tliat we have a TV seton the dashboard."

from page 17)"The basic stuff in our offense came

from the University of Tennessee. (Threeof his assistants played at Tennessee.)It's my opinion that Tennessee's fake-pass-and-run and the fake-run-and-passare still extremely difficult to defendagainst. I know we've gotten a lot ofmileage out of them.

"I picked up a few other things hereand there," he adds modestly, but noneof these technical items tells the story.Red oversimplifies the explanation of hissuccess when he attributes all to material.Just as important, he knows how tocreate the vital intangible, morale; howto inspire boys, and how to teach theequally vital fundamentals, blocking andtackling. To Sanders football is almostthat simple; he leaves the fancy footballto others. His 1954 gang limited 10 opponents to a mere 41 points, blankingStanford and Southern California, holding Maryland and California to a singletouchdown.

Football can be pretty serious businesson the UCLA practice field, but Redleaves the game there when he goeshome. His tastes run to good books(mostly biography). Dixieland jazz music, or contriving a laugh at somebody'sexpense. Last winter Red lost a valuedaide. Tommy Prothro, who took the headcoacliing job at Oregon State. Red tosseda farewell party for him. Knowing thatProthro had offered an assistant's job to

Clayton Stapleton, then at Wyoming, Redrigged up a phony long distance call.The party was in high gear when Prothrowas called to the phone. The caller wasthe "president" of Wyoming, who proceeded to castigate Prothro for tampering with one of his employes—great funfor everybody but the unsuspectingProthro.

In this respect, Red hasn't changedmuch since his student days at Vander-bilt. Then, as now, his main concern wassports. The family—his dad was a traveling salesman—moved from Asheville,N. C., to Nashville when he was an infant. He grew up there, starting his football education as an under-sized urchinof 10 or 11 on the sandlots. He blossomed as a heady quarterback at Riverside Military Academy in Georgia, thenenrolled at Vanderbilt in his own backyard in 1923. Unfortunately, the cardsof football stardom were stacked againsthim. He was too small—5-8 and weighing 143—and the incumbent field generalwas Bill Spears, a notable triple-threaterof that day. Sanders, however, letteredevery year, also earned one letter inbasketball and three in baseball. Hecaptained the baseball varsity and laterplayed as a minor league infielder forthree years.

AS ACOLLEGIAN Red heard many. an impassioned dressing room

oration by his old coach, Dan McGugin,who was famous for his psychologicaltwists. Today's college boy. Red says, hasoutgrown that sort of thing.

"I'm afraid the players would laugh atme," he added. "The belter players don'thave to be keyed up and there are somany good ones that none of them canafford to let up. Quite often, you findyourself trying to relax the squad beforea tough game."

One year UCLA was about ready tofake the field for an important battle withStanford. The room was quiet, the airexplosive, the players expecting a fewlast-minute words of wisdom from thecoach. Sanders noted the assistant coachnext to him was wearing a new suit. Redlooked closely at the material and saidfor all to hear, "I don't care what anybody says, you keep on wearing it. Don'tpay any attention to them. That suitlooks ail right." The assistant blushed,the players forgot the game for a fewseconds and then went out and wallopedStanford.

Another time the UCLA squad wasaboard plane en route to a tough roadgame. While the motors idled on therunway, Coach Sanders stood up in theaisle, looked at a piece of paper in hishand and said, "I've just been given theweather forecast for the trip; it says,'Partly cloudy and scattered Bruins.'"

Sanders scoffs at the psychologicalgimmicks, certainly the obvious ones. Buthe has been known to make a sly play onthe emotions. At Vanderbilt. his 1948team had whipped Maryland, Yale, Ken-

Bruno Shaw, Elks Mogazlne writer on foreign affairs, this year again received a Freedom'sFoundation award for an article which ran in the Magazine. The National Awards Jury selectedhis article on "Soviet Non-aggression Pacts." Dr. Kenneth D. Wells, President of Freedom's Foundation, presented the bronze medallion at Federal Hall Museum, New York, on September 16th.

lucky in a seven-game victory string. Theteam was tense and serious going intothe traditional battle with Tennessee,which had not lost to Vandy in 11 years.Sanders wanted this one badly, but hedidn't say so.

"Boys, you've already shown me whata great team you are," he said. "Howyou play today doesn't change the factthat you've done a good job this season.You don't need to show me a thing. I'mproud of you."

The Commodores exuded confidencefrom the first kickoff. The subsequent28-6 victory climaxed Sanders' coachingcareer at his alma mater and set thestage for his departure for the challenging job on the West Coast.

Coach Prothro, who spent nine yearson Sanders staff, appraises his ex-bossas the best at "sizing up the footballmaterial—he seems to know how good aboy can be; he expects that very best,no more."

Only Sanders, for instance, could seethe potential in 158-pound Lee Nalley.Red gave the youngster a scholarship atVanderbilt in 1947. A year later, as apunt-return specialist in platoon football, Nalley led the nation with runbackstotalling 791 yards, a record that stillstands. He rei)eated as the punt returnchampion in 1949 after Sanders had gonelo UCLA.

Just last Spring Red faced a half dozenmajor problems in rebuilding a li"®riddled by graduation. The master strokewas the shifting of Don Shinnick, 210-{jound fullback, to guard. By mid-season•Shinnick was expected to be one of thefinest collegiate guards on the WestCoast.

Red developed this knack long beforehe became a "name" coach. You learn to

improvise as you climb the coaching ladder, except that Sanders apparentlylearned unusually well. Red assistedJosh Cody at Clemson after graduatingfrom Vanderbilt in 1927, but, at thattime, was torn between football and baseball. Three years in the minors helpedto turn Red permanently to football. Hecoached Columbia. Tenn., Military Academy, 1931-33; and Riverside, Military

^Academy, Gainesville, Ga., 1934-37, compiling a remarkable 55-4-2 record forthose seven years.

Red moved on to University of Floridaas freshman coach in 1938, to LouisianaState as line coach in 1939, then back toVander])ilt in 1940, beginning a six-yearhitch, interrupted by two and a half yearsin the Navy, 1944-46. Old Navy friendsrecall that Red had a wonderful timegarbling Navy phrases, showing an especial talent for it within earshot of theNavy brass.

Ted Williams played on Sanders' 1945Pensacola Navy baseball team. Tellinga pompous superior of victory in a recentgame, Red explained, "Williams hit oneover the centerfield bulkhead." Sanders,once seeing an old coaching friend arriving, gave him a deadpan and frosty,"Welcome aboard, sir."

No one is safe when Sanders joins aconversational group. He is happiestwhen offering a solemn-faced rib, orstinging someone in a sensitive spot. Theobviously stupid question is one of hisfavorite techniques. Among staunch Notre Dame supporters, he is likely to say,"Do you think Knute Rockne could wintoday?"

Tom Meany, well-known sports authority, tells of the time Red, meeting OscarVitt, then a big league manager, for thefirst time, asked, "Wasn't Joe Jackson

over-rated as a hitter?" When Vittgrabbed an umbrella Red didn't knowwhether to run or be ready to defendhimself. Using the umbrella as a bat,Vitt discoursed at length, with gestures,on the virtuosity of the baseball immortal.

Those who know Red best are as enchanted with his solid common sense aswith this impish sense of humor. WilburJohns, the athletic director, was certainhe wanted Sanders at UCLA after oneday with him. That was January, 1949,and there's quite a story behind that one,too. Johns went to the American Football Coaches Association convention inSan Francisco to shop for a successor toBert La Brucherie. Sanders was one ofsix prospects on Johns' list, having beenrecommended by the late Grantland Rice,himself a Vanderbilt alumnus; Red Blaikof Army and Fritz Crisler of Michigan.

Sanders was headed for San Francisco,too, but the trains out of Chicago weresnowbound. Red checked the airlines,accepting a spot on the waiting lists forthe time being. Hours later he was preparing to return to Nashville when UnitedAir Lines called to say he was bookedout on the next flight.

"I didn't know Sanders at all," athletic director Johns recalled. "He movedto the top of my list after I had spentseveral hours with him."

IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS Sanderswas the new UCLA coach. Belatedly,

Vanderbilt offered Sanders a long-termcontract with retirement privileges of theacademic staff, but the gesture came toolate. Sanders was in no mood to reconsider even if he could have. He had notforgotten the grumbling of the alumniover Vanderbilt's slow start. Nor had heendeared himself to them by remarking,after a loss to Georgia Tech, that "noVanderbilt player could make theGeorgia Tech varsity."

"I think Red made the right move,"observed Mrs. Sanders. "At Vanderbiltand in Nashville I think they would havethought of Red as a second string quarterback."

No sooner was Sanders hired thanCalifornia newspapers tossed him a hotpotato. One paper didn't even wait forhim to arrive on the scene, telegraphingto ask how a Southerner would feel abouthaving Negroes on the squad.

"You might say I'm prejudiced," hetelegraphed in reply. "I'm definitelyprejudiced in favor of any boy who canplay football. I am intolerant, too—intolerant of any player who won't blockor tackle."

Red, of course, has used many Negroesin his UCLA powerhouses; fact is, atackle named Harry Thompson was theworkhorse of the squad in Sanders' veryfirst year at UCLA. And this fall Hardi-man Cureton, 210-pound Negro guard, isthe standout of the rugged Bruin line.

Sanders restated his formula for coaching success as soon as he became ac-

Meanwhile, Red isn't the sort to forgetthe fate of his predecessor. Coach LaBrucherie, who now tutors the CaliforniaTech team. La Brucherie piloted theBruins to an undefeated, untied season in1946 and moved on to the Rose Bowl,losing there to Illinois, 45-14. The coachgot the bounce after a 3-7-0 season twoyears later.

Nevertheless. Red now is about as se

Red seemsto enjoy congenial relations with thefaculty members, and undoubtedly is themost popular coach in the Conferencewith newspapermen. He is always goodfor an "angle," always willing to help ona story and the writers enjoy his gags. Ayoung writer who didn't know of Red'slove of ribbing asked innocently for astatement on tomorrow's game.

"I think we'll win if Dame Fortuneis with us." he said as solemn as an owl.

One of Red's faculty friends was chiding him one day because he never getstoo chummy with the players. "Whydon't your boys love you like they doother coaches?"

"That's easy," laughed Red. "I'm toobusy coaching them; I don't have time tocourt them."

A NOTICE FROM

EXALTED RULER

It has been brought to my attention that a jew lodges havebeen soliciting funds in violationof Section 219 oj the Grand LodgeStatutes which expressly prohibitslodges and members "from soliciting aid from sister lodges or members thereof by the sale oj ticketsor otherwise". This practice mustbe stopped.

not they remember what he has to say.Last year the players, in one game, werescattered about the dressing room athalftime when Sanders walked into theroom.

"Walker {not the boy's real name), doyou feel like playing any more?"

Before the youth could answer, Redgrowled. "You looked like a model outthere, walking around without a spot onyour uniform."

One of Red's long-time assistantssummed it up best of all:

"Red can't stand a loafer. If you workhard he'll go all the way with you. Ifyou don't . . . well, you just won't getto i»lay any. that's all."

Whicii brings us back full cycle to Redand his material. Sanders works for theboys who work for him. which explainswhy the UCLA Brnins are the scourgeof the West and a football power acrossthe nation.

ment. He furnishes his own boat anddecoys, picks his own spot, builds hisown blind or crouches in the reeds, ashe sees fit, and sets his own stool. Thisseparates the duck hunters from the menwho merely go duck hunting.

The most important thing is to pickthe right location in the first place. Asthe best duck hunter I ever knew oncesaid, "Remember, decoys and a call aremerely aids to good judgment."

In other words, you can be a virtuosoon a duck call, build an invisible blindand put out a hundred decoys, and if theducks weren't using there naturally you'llhave poor shooting.

One day several years ago, I made mysetup on a bar about lialf a mile downstream from some other hunters who werelocated on a backwater off the river. Oneof them had a call with an unmistakabletone and he blew nothing on it but aseries of eight quacks, tiie first four veryloud and widely spaced, the latter foursomewhat lower in volume, shorter andcloser together. He repeated this overand over endlessly.

Flock after flock of mallards set theirwings when they were above me andsailed straight in to the master caller,usually without even a preliminary circle.I thought, "Well, I never heard anythinglike it before, but that guy is the world'sbest."

He was with a party of five or six, butthe ducks kept pouring in until, abouteleven o'clock, they obviously had filled

out. They picked up their decoys andleft. Then I got a surprise. The mallardsstill set their wings over me and sailedstraight in to the mouth of that backwater!

The guy was a real duck hunter, allright, but what proved it was his selection of a spot to hunt. Neither the decoysnor his calling had anything to do withthe way the ducks poured in. They knewwhere they wanted to go and that waswhere they went.

Watch where the ducks are lightingand manage, somehow or other, to getthere. You'll probably get shooting aslong as weather and food conditions remain the same. Watch for signs that indicate ducks have been using the spot.These may be feathers on a pond or a lotof tracks and droppings on a bar whereshallow-water ducks have loafed, restedand picked up gravel. Once you find aplace they're using, all that remains isto return at the proper time and figureout the best setup in relation to the surroundings and the wind.

Of course, I have no doubt that all ofthis may sound pretty complicated to ayoungster just starting out to be a duckhunter. He probably can't qualify onsome of the points. Well, 1 can't either.

The way I have it figured, a man needsabout 50 years. During the first ten, hewill have enthusiasm but not much judgment. All he can do is to shoot whateverducks he can, and keep on trying.

During the second ten he should begin

to learn something about ducks—whereto hunt during different periods of theseason and what effect different kinds of

weather have on their behavior. Heshould recognize all species that occurin his area.

During the third ten years he shouldbecome reasonably proficient in the useof a call. He should learn how to placehis decoys for various kinds of ducksunder a variety of conditions. And bythis time he will have become a fairlygood duck shot if he is ever going to. Hewill seldom shoot at a duck out of range.He'll have some definite ideas about leadand he'll begin to appreciate what windcan do to his shot string. He'll concedefreely that duck shooting is the most difficult form of shotgun work.

By the time his fourth decade as aduck hunter rolls around he will conclude that he really doesn't know much.He will have realized that every season,in fact, every week of every season if he

lumts a lot, the ducks can show himsomething new.

In his fifth decade, provided hisstrength and enthusiasm hold out—andthey will be if he is a real duck hunter—he will be fully as good as he thoughthe was at the end of the first ten years.Whatever he may lack in endurance willbe more than compensated for by hisknowledge of ducks, duck decoying, duckcalling and duck shooting.

Not many men are destined to reachthis degree of ability. I only know a few.They are deadly. H their talents couldsomehow be transferred to all of theenthusiastic youngsters who are trying tobe duck hunters, there soon would beno ducks left.

Fortunately, there is only one way tolearn how to be a duck hunter. That isby hunting ducks. It is a path beset bydifficulties and countless disappointments,but it is singularly rewarding, too. I'mglad I don't know all the answers yet.

Ill The Doghouse(Continued from page 44)

doing 39 breeds an injustice to name oneof the 40 as best or most handsome. It'ssimply a matter of owner preference. Butit is no injustice to say that the setters,the three varieties, are among the handsomest. Most widely seen among thesedogs is the English setter, a fellow thatusually wears a white coat flecked withblack markings. He has a brother lessoften seen whose markings are blue,lemon, liver or orange and more rarelya solid white. These dogs were knownin the hunting fields of more than 400years ago. Every so often I find in mymail queries about the Laverack orLlewellin setters as though these wereseparate varieties of those good dogs.

Actually, both names indicate strains ofthe breed. The former was named forthe enthusiastic breeder Mr. EdwardLaverack who, early in the last century,began breeding setters. So well did hebreed that his dogs became outstandingspecimens—but they were English setters, not Laverack setters. Much the samecan be said for Mr. R. L. Purcell Llewellin, another English breeder whose name,bccause of the care and devotion he putinto the breed, became attached to thesetter. But these two were English setters, not Llewellin setters.

As you may have read here before, theEnglish setter has two blood cousins,the Irish setter and the Gordon. The first

Elks Nationa

Foundation —Joy of Giving"

Here's a much appreciated note to PastGrand Exalted Ruler John F. Malley,Chairman of the Elks National Foundation, from Miss Sharon Lou Wilson, ofSpringfield, 111., who, having received aS600 Foundation scholarship to furtherher education at Carthage College, wrote;

"Scholarship Foundations such as theElks, which make it possible for studentsto obtain a college education, certainlyare an inspiration to every young manand woman. Although good scholarshipand active civic worK are rewarding inthemselves, the possibility of furtheringthese works is a great contribution to thefuture of America. 1 shall do my utmostto fulfill your expectations of me as anational contest winner of the Elks National Foundation."

Chairman Malley of the Elks NationalFoundation forwards this letter fromWilliam Tiffany of Shawnee, Okla., whoreceived one of the 1955 "Most ValuableStudent" awards, as an indication of whatthese scholarshius mean to the youngpeople who receive them:

1 owe a great deal to your organization and hope that I can partly repayit through diligent study during the nextfew years. 1 regard tiie Elks as a trulygreat organization and hope that I canmake its ideals and purposes guide mylife."

the golden retriever is probably the handsomest. This is a Russian dog that wasconsiderably refined in the hands of English breeders. He is a beautiful goldencolor and a truly noble looking dog. Hehas an excellent record in the field, too.But he doesn't score very often, as his isnot a widely distributed breed in thiscountry. There are the curly-coated andflat-coated retrievers, but neither are verywell known outside of breeding circles.The weimaraner referred to earlier issaid to be an expert huntsman's assistant. He is further distinguished by thecolor of his coat, a smooth coat of varying shades of grey. The breed was developed by the nobles of the court ofWeimar. Germany, originally as an all-purpose breed. In its early days it wasrestricted to Germuny and no dogs ofthe breed were permitted to leave theborders of tiiat country. According to thestandard of tlie Weimaraner Club of

America, the parent club had authorityto force the right breeding to the pointwhere specimens not measuring up tothe physical and temperamental requirements set for the breed were destroyed,with the result that tliere never havebeen more than 1,500 weimaraners inGermany.

BARGAIN PARADISES

OF THE WORLD

This is a book on how to double what yourmoney can buy. For that is what spending afew weeks or months or longer in the world'sBargain Paradises amounts to.

And why not when you can retire to:

The Azores or the Canaries—islands ot tropicalflowers, sandy bcaches. and the charm of Old Spain—with rents ol about S20 a month, groceries lor acouple at SIO a week, and servants S5 a montheach.

The lotus-covered mountains lakes ol Kashmir,where a furnished houseboat with four turbannedservants rents for S70 a month. Total costs for acouple run about S175 a month—in the most beautiful spot on earth.

The South Seas? Tahiti has found out about theYankee dollar, But there's brilliant Sisatoka Beachat Suva or reef-girt Norfolk or Lord Howe Island,the Bargain Paradise of the South Seas today.

Throughout this big book you learn whereto spend a while in the West Indies. Mexico(where living costs dropped 33% when thepeso was revalued last spring), South America, or the marvelous Balearic Islands wheretwo can live like Kings for $35 a week.

You read about cities and towns where it's

always spring, about mountain hideaways,tropical islands as colorful as Tahiti butnearer home, modern cities where you canlive for less, and surf washed coastal resorts.

If you've ever wanted to travel but wondered how you could afford it; if you have alittle income but wonder how you'd everbe able to retire on that; if you want a lifeof luxuries on what you'd get only necessitiesback home, then you want Bargain Paradisesof the World.

on the table because the dogs are relatively few and highly valued.

There are two varieties of spaniel, chiefof which is the familiar cocker, perhapsone of the most popular breeds in theUnited States right now. While theselittle fellows were bred to hunt they arenot used that way today as much as theywere many years ago. Two varieties ofcocker are the English and American.The latter is the smaller of the two andbecause of his smallness and insufficient

strength is not very helpful in roughbroken country or locations where thereis dense underbrush. Tlie English variety,being larger, is naturally stronger and ismost often used when the cocker is usedat all.

There are some 18 varieties of hounds

Report from Formosa(Continued from page 11)

In Formosa, however, a two-year detailed land survey of the entire island was made by expert agronomists,and during the following two years thefarm land was apportioned to its tenantfarmers on a basis wholly equitable toits previous owners as well as to the farmtenants themselves. As a result, morellian ninety per cent of Formosa's formertenant farmers now own their own land,for wliicli ihe previous owners have beenfiilty compensated.

The program was put into effect by the

WHERE TO RETIRE

ON A SMALL INCOME

This book selects out of the hundreds ofthousands of communities in the U. S. andits island territories only those places whereliving costs are less, where the surroundingsare pleasant, and where nature and the community get together to guarantee a good timefrom lishing. boating, gardening, concerts, orthe like. The book never overlooks the factthat some people must get part time or seasonal work to pad out their income.

It covers cities, towns, and farms throughout America—from New England, south toFlorida, west to California and north to thePacific Northwest. It includes both Hawaiiand the American Virgin Islands. Some people spend hundreds of dollars trying to getinformation like this by travelling aroundthe country. Frequently they fail—there isjust too much of America to explore.

Where to Retire on a Small Income savesyou from that danger. Yet the big 1955 edition costs only $1.

but the two most used in the huntingfield are the beagle, largely for rabbitsand the coonhound, relentless enemy ofthe raccoon. Oh yes, there's the foxhound. both American and English types,the latter being the larger in size. Whilethe foxhound is a hunting dog, he's byno means a gun dog and scarcely belongs in this article.

The training of a good gun dog requires a maximum of patience and nolittle time to develop a good hunter. Forthis reason should you think to buy awell trained dog for field work don't besurprised if you find the price is higherthan the proverbial cats back. The gooddog broken to the field is well worth themoney, as any experienced sportsmanknows.

place a top limit of 37.5 per cent on payments of crop by the tenant-farmers fortheir combined rent, interest and taxes,which practically reversed in the tenant-farmers' favor the previous percentagepaid out and retained by them. Sincethen, the figure of "37.5" has become abyword in Formosa, and the Formosan

I farmers grin happily at the mere mention of it.

This immediate improvement in thecondition of the tenant-farmers lasted twoyears until the land survey was completed. Then the final step of the program was put into effect. Each landowner was allowed to retain, whether hecultivated it himself or not. 7.5 acres offarmland. All in excess of this amountwas sold to the tenant-farmers who actually worked it. The owners were paid30 per cent of the sale price in stocks inFormosa's cement, fertilizer and otherlarge industrial plants (these stocks havealready jumped in market value fromFormosa S2.00 to S9.00), and 70 per centin Land Bonds entitling them to twentysemi-annual payments in crops from the

jland over a period of ten years. Government public land, formerly the propertyof Japanese, was distributed on the samebasis.

TO COMPENSATE for the nation's in-I ability to broaden its agricultural base,

becau.se only one quarter of Formosa isarable, the Government has introducednew agricultural methods which theformer tenant-farmers, now landowners,are voluntarily and eagerly adopting!These are bringing four crops a yearwhere only three grew before; they areteaching the farmers modern scientificmethods of pest control, and furnishingthe wherewithal with which to applythem. As a result. Formosa is now self-sufficient in food. And. having given buying power to farm families who untilnow were hand-to-mouth sharecroppers,and who are now purchasing farm implements and consumer goods, new industries are springing into being witli consequent great increases in industrial employment.

The man principally responsible forinitiating this magnificent achievement isChen Cheng, who has spent most of hissixty years in the military service of hiscountry. He is a four-star general whoat various times has been Chief of StafI,Minister of War, and Premier of the Republic. and who last year was electedVice President. He realized tliat it wasthe failure of his Government to carryout land reform on the mainland thatgave the Communists their most effectivepropaganda weapon among the peasantmasses, and he was definitely determinedthat that error should not be repeated inFormosa.

I called on Vice President Chen at hishome, a comfortable little house almostin the heart of Taipei, set back from theroadway and fronted by a picket fenceand grass lawn so that, once inside its

gate, it seemed far removed from theclangor of the city streets only a fewshort steps away.

Of medium height, slender to the pointof seeming frail, courteous in the tradition of Old China, the Vice Presidentmight easily be mistaken, by one unacquainted with his record, for an elderlyChinese scholar with horizons limited toacademic reflection. Except for his darkgray eyes which twinkle with amusementwhile he exchanges pleasantries with hisguest, but which, when he speaks of theCommunists on the mainland, turn toglittering points of hard, cold steel.

Chen Cheng believes that the Westernworld is naive in its approach to theworld Communist problem. "Communistaggression," he says, "knows no bounds.The Soviet and its satellites now occupymost of the earth. They will want abreathing spell to prepare to get the restof it. Giving up Indochina is makingneutralists out of the southeast Asiancountries. It has led people in this partof the world to wonder whether the American people really understand what isgoing on.

The Communists." he continued, "arenot changing their aims or their strategy.They are altering their tactics with talkof cease-fire, compromise, concessions,and round-table conferences, in order toconfuse the Western nations and to makethem into neutralists too; and to createdivisions among the American people,and to divide them from their allies."

He paused for a moment while wesipped our tea. and I waited for him tocontinue. I felt he wanted to choosecarefully the words with which lie wishedto make his own position, and that of his

overnment. unmistakably clear.By now. he said, "vou have seen for

yourself what we are doing here in Formosa. We are doing it for a definitepurpose. We are not going to co-exist•with Communism only as long as it iswi ing to let us live. We will not giveup one more inch of territory anywhere,and that includes the offshore islands.And when we are ready, we will go backto tie mainland, and our chances fordoing that are growing better every day."

In addition to having transformed Formosa's agricultural economy, the JointCommission for Rural Reconstruction(JCRR) undertook other responsibilitiesbearing directly upon the welfare of the

his family. Thev establishedhealth stations, two-thirds of which

are staffed each with full-lime physiciansand nurses, the others with nurses only.

The health stations are not handoutsby the National Government. They arebuilt by the local villages, under JCRRguidance. When the type of clinic specified by JCRR has been built andequipped, JCRR provides a kit of essential medical supplies, furnishes bicyclesfor home-visiting midwives, supplies radios (already some 6,000) in farm areasto receive the "Farmers Hour" programand health and disease prevention pro-

grams. These activities come underthe direction of the Provincial HealthAdministration, and are tremendously effective.

Take, for example, a health station Ivisited in a typical farm community afew miles north of Taipei. There are1,280 people in the area served by thisclinic. When the station opened, therewere 694 cases of trachoma—more thanhalf the population—in this one districtalone. In the three months since thenthis was reduced by the almost unbelievable figure of 90 per cent, through directmedical treatment and disease prevention education. Other diseases commonto the Far East, because of lack of adequate knowledge of personal hygieneand lack of knowledge of the manner inwhich diseases are communicated, arebeing similarly attacked and reduced inincidence. Tuberculosis, of which thereare five million known cases on the island, is one of them.

For centuries, scholarship was greatlyrevered in China, probably because so

few of the people were able to attain it,and to the illiterate masses the ability toread and write words that conveyed meaning seemed to border on the miraculous.Even until fairly recently it was estimated that as many as 80 per cent of allthe Chinese people were totally illiterate.Today, in Formosa, under the many reform programs simultaneously being conducted, 87 per cent of all children ofschool age are in school. And the National University in Taipei, which untilthe end of World War II was restrictedto Japanese, now houses several thousandChinese students who are being educatedin its colleges in a variety of professionsand sciences.

Farmers in Formosa, most of themsharecroppers until a year or two ago,

are building brick houses. This, for aChinese farmer, is something new underthe sun. He buys his seed and fertilizerand sells his crops through the FarmerAssociation, a non-governmental cooperative. in his district. When you considerthat an average brick farmhouse costsFormosa §40,000 (U.S. $2,000), andthat there are no building loans of anykind available and that the houses mustbe paid for in cash, and that they arespringing up on farms all over the island, the transformation in the status oftenant-farmers and their families on Formosa becomes quite clear.

Native industries are expanding rapidly. and new industries are continuallybeing introduced. Consumer goods, soaps,toiletries, cotton goods, and an almostendless variety of others, are being manufactured in Formosa in competition withimported products, and are doing extremely well. Basic industries, aluminum,cement, fertilizer, heavy machinery, shipbuilding. and others, each year employincreasing thousands of workers who arebeing trained in a new variety of skills.

Typical is the Chinese Petroleum Corporation. which imports two million barrels of crude oil a year from the NearEast, refines it in the gigantic refinerybuilt at Kaohsiung, in southern Formosa,and pipelines a multitude of finishedproducts to every part of the island.Forty-one year old Jerome Hu, a chemical and petroleum engineer, who tookme on a tour of the refinery, is not onlyits manager, but bears in addition theresponsibility of caring for its 1,800 employes, many of whom live in houses oncompany premises.

Most of these large industrial plants,some of which are government owned,are financed by United States Government dollars. If American financial aid

should stop, for any reason, it is probable

that the Formosa industrial structure

•would collapse. The government and theprivate Chinese companies, however, aregearing their operations and their planson the known fact that this support cannot continue forever, and hope eventuallyto become self-sustaining and independent of the need of foreign aid.

As Mr. K.Y. Yin, Minister of EconomicAffairs, put it, Formosa has never beenan independent, viable state. For fiftyyears it was an appendage of the Japanese empire. And before that its contactswere direct with the China mainland.Now that it is on its own it is confrontedwith wholly new economic problems. Theanswer to them, as he outlined it to me,is gradually to introduce a program ofvoluntary austerity until, once again, theRepublic of China can be reestablishedon the mainland, when Formosa will oncemore become a province of China insteadof having to bear the entire burden of anational government in exile in the midstof civil war. His program, which he admits will undoubtedly be an unpopularone, but which he says must soon be putinto effect if Formosa is to he able to

stand on its own feet, is only ten wordsin length: Produce as much as possible,use as little as possible. Or, in even lesswords: Expand production, cut consumption.

SINCE I had heard much about the"double load" of government in For

mosa. national and provincial, I called onthe man I thought might give the best explanation for it from the Nationalist pointof view, Chang Tao-fan, president of theLegislative Yuan, the National Parliament.

There is no question about the tremendous load this imposes upon Formosa.Mr. Chang agreed. But, he said, there isno alternative other than to surrender toihe Communists, which the NationalistGovernment will never do. The reasonfor maintaining a complete National Government on Formosa is simple and understandable, he said, and it may be statedin this way:

If the government on Formosa wereonly a provincial government, it couldnot accurately call itself a government ofthe Republic of China. The membershipwas elected in the several provinces ofChina, and represents those provinces inexile. This membership constitutes a"long parliament," as it would be impossible to hold new elections that wouldbe representative of the several provincesuntil the Nationalist Government returnsto the mainland. The national legislaturepromulgates laws for all of China eventhough they are not enforceable at tliemoment; but mainlanders are madeaware of the differences between theselaws and the kind of laws now being enforced on the mainland.

In other words, said Mr. Chang, thislegislature is not playing at being a national government. It is actually workingat being good national govurnmeut, with

a full awareness that it cannot put its decrees into effect anywhere but in Formosaat the moment—but with the hope that itwill attract to it the sympathy and allegiance of mainland Chinese who are beginning to find out at first-hand whatCommunism really means.

Throughout all Formosa a beehive activity is under way. No one, from thehighest official to the lowliest laborer, iswaiting for some dramatic change to takeplace, or hesitating because of an impending crisis. Formosa is building itsway, in agriculture, industry and commerce; in education, health and socialimprovement; not on a day-to-day basis,but in a spirit of continuing development.The long-range hope is for return to themainland; the immediate goal is to buildand expand Formosa's own resources.

Formosa, like almost any other placeon earth, is what you want to make of it,particularly if you happen to be a foreigncorrespondent engaged in sending spotnews to your home newspaper or pressservice. Soviet writers who have visitedthe United States have reported to theirMoscow journals about discriminationagainst the American Negro: aboutsharecropper hardships and intolerancein some sections of the country; aboutfive percenter scandals in Washington;and about anything else they could find—juvenile delinquency, for example—thatwould present a one-sided and whollyout-of-focus picture of what the UnitedSlates really is.

Many foreign correspondents approachFormosa in mucli the same spirit—on thelookout for a bit of scandal here, an actof subversion there, or an unjustifiedhardship imposed by the security authorities, and limit their reports wholly to thiskind of "shocker" story. As a result, theycome up with a curious kind of pictureof a people who are struggling valiantlyagainst heavy odds which we in theUnited State fortunately do not have toface—a picture that is as lopsided as itis unfair.

This is not universal by any means.There are some excellent reporters inFormosa who are doing a first rate jobby any standard. But there are enough-of them, particularly "feature writers,"who seem to be doing their darndest toreport only such discreditable bits ofgossip as they cai. glean from the darkerareas of the day's news, and who ignorecompletely the positive achievements thatstand large before their very eyes.

Of all the pieces of countries that havebeen truncated by Moscow-Peiping mutual aggression pacts, Formosa, in thiswriter's opinion, is doing the best job inthe entire Far East of withstanding thethreat of Communist onslaught; and hasthe best chance of becoming the Davidthat may destroy the Asian CommunistGoliath—provided the West is not beguiled into selling the Nationalists downihe river, or, by withholding the aid theyneed, pulling the rug out from undertheir feet.

WORKSHOPChristmas project—a toy chest with "secret lock'

BY

HARRY

WALTON

There win be fewer toy cars, building blocks and plastic spacemen under

foot if a youngster has a chest to storethem in. Add a real lock that works by asecret combinatitm, and the chest becomes a fascinating toy in its own right.Now is the time to start building it forChristmas.

Plywood simplifies construction, especially if your dealer will cut piecesto size. The thickness will do for a

chest up to 36" long.The one sh<)wn is smaller—14^/^" high

including the feet. 14" wide, and 24" long.\ou can change the size or proportionsand still use llie same design.

Cut a front and a back the same size.Make the two ends 1" narrower than thedfsired outside widtli. because they willfit inside tiie front and back. The bottom fits in-^ide all four walls and therefore is the .same width as the ends, but1" shorter liian llie long panels. (Fig. 1).

As the drawing shows, the lid may becut to overluj) tlie front and ends by ^/4",or it may be made exact size and trimmedwith quarter-round molding on threeedges. This was done on the chest shown.

CLEATS JOIN CORNERS. BuyS()me %" square molding or rip one-by-twos in half lengthwise. From this cutfour cleats V2" shorter than the wallheight. Witli glue and 1" screws, fastenthese clcats Y2" inside the ends of th»^

62

front and back, flush with the top edgebut Y>" up from the lower edge. Countersink the screws, but not so deeply thatthey break through.

Glue and screw the ends into the rabbets formed by the cleats, spacing thescrews so that they miss the first set. It isa good idea to clamp the ends in position,taking care to align the edges, before

CLEAT(4 neo-)

niosT CLEAT SCREWEDOH FROM INSIC>E

SCREW ON -^4 FROM EDGES

CUT PEET Pt?OM .• iV^'x 3"STOCK

drilling for screws. Countersink thesewell.

SQUARING UP THE BODY. Whenall the screws have been tightened, butbefore the glue sets, measure across eachpair of diagonally opposite corners. If thediagonals are equal, the case is square.If not, apply gentle pressure to the twocorners that are farther apart, and temporarily nail a stick across the edges tohold them in until the glue sets.

Cut the bottom to fit inside and restagainst the corner cleats. Before fastening it in, attach the feet to it with glueand two screws apiece. Attach the bottomby driving a screw through each cornerinto a cleat, but do not glue it in. The lockcatch is easier to install with the bottomremoved, although this toy chest is practical without the "secret lock".

Fill screw holes and gaps, and anyholes in the plywood edges. Apply undercoat and nonpoisonous enamel.

BE YOUR OWN LOCKSMITH. Thecombination lock which will intrigue anyyoungster is made of dowel, an anglebracket, and four wooden checkers. It isnot hard to build, but like anything mechanical, may take a bit of fussing toget working right.

Mark the centers on the checkers anddrill a hole through, taking pains toget it square. Glue a bit of dowel intotwo checkers and file a notch in these asshown in Fig. 2.

Hacksaw one leg of a 2" angle bracketshort back of the inside hole. File theremaining part slightly rounded. Aboveand below the inside hole in the long legdrill two 3/16" holes %" apart.

Drill a 5/32" hole in the center of a\y^' length of %" dowel. With a file,shape it as shown in Fig. 2. Put a long8-32 machine bolt through the originalcountersunk hole in the bracket and screwit into the hole in the dowel, in whichit will cut its own threads. Then tightena nut against the dowel.

The latch knob is screwed onto the bolt

outside the chest after the lock is assembled. If you can not find a knob with an8-32 thread in it, drill a-5/32" hole in awooden knob. It will screw on tightly.

In the front of the chest drill threelioles as shown in the drawing. Cut a lockcover from Vg" composition board or thinhardwood, filing a notch in it for the latchhook. Holding the latch in this notch, drillthrough the two 3/16" holes to makematching holes in the cover. Countersinkthese and four mounting holes at the endsof the cover.

ALIGNING LATCH GUIDES. Pushthe latch bolt through the middle hole inthe chest and hold it with a stack of washers and a nut. Put the notched checkersin the other two holes, turning them sothat the dowel crossbar lies in the notclies.

Now clamp the lock cover with itsspacer blocks in position. Stick two 3/16"drills or big nails through the matchingholes in the cover and the latch, looseningthe clamps if necessary to position thecover so that these line up accurately andthe drills or nails are at 90° to the innerchest surface. Then remove them and drillthrough the aligned holes into the chestwall to start the guide screws.

These are simply 1^/4" flathead woodscrews. If they are correctly aligned, thelatch should slide smoothly on the unthreaded part of their slianks. A short 1/4"compression spring may be slipped oneach, between the latch and the chestfront, to retract the latch and pull thecross dowel out of the checker notches.You can buy such springs at electric-motor or vacuum-cleaner repair sliops.

USE OUTSIDE HINGES. Becausetots may lock pets, or even each other, intoa box, be sure to bore two or three good-sized air holes in the back. Furthermore,use plain 3" or 4" strap hinges screwedon from outside, instead of butt hingesset into gains. Then, if the lock jams, thelid can be removed with a screwdriver.

With the lid hinged on, remove thebottom for mounting the lid catch. Thisis a spring cupboard catch, set on a smallwooden wedge to tilt it forward. Mountedstraight, it may snap open when the lid isjerked up.

The lid will snap shut even with thelatch in the engaged position, thanks tothe spring catch. To open the lock, the

checkers are turned to align the notcheswith the cross dowel, the latch knob ispulled back, and the lid raised.

SETTING THE COMBINATION.Slip a washer on each checker shaft andglue on the outside checker and knob.Drive a small screw near each dial as apointer. Paint or burn figures into theedge of the checkers, or draw them on astrip of paper and glue them on.

THE EXTRA TOUCHES. A child'sown name on the chest will make it doublyvalued. It can be painted on, or the lettersmay be cut out of plywood and nailed on.The ones on the chest in the photographare stock, gilded on the face and accented with bright red on all edges. (Ifyou're not too sure about your hand lettering and numbering, the Elks Workshop,through the coupon on these pages, ismaking available without charge a pattern alphabet for the youngster's nameand numbers for the lock.)

A lift-out tray will hold that miscellanyof small things every child collects. Theone shown slides on cleats screwed insidethe ends of the chest. To allow the slottedlid catch to work, the tray slide on thatend is made of two pieces and set off thechest wall on wasliers as shown in Fig. 3.

The tray can be made of plywood asshown in the same drawing, with as manypartitions as desired.

BRUCE A. CAMPBELL

In the passing of Past Grand Exalted Ruler Bruce A.Campbell, the Order loses a great and beloved leader.

When Bruce Campbell entered the Grand Lodge in 1910he was a tall, handsome young man, possessor of a finelogical and legal mind, an impressive appearance, an unusually persuasive and powerful voice and a charm thatsoon brought his recognition as one of the most convincingand effective speakers in the Grand Lodge.

He had been a member of that body only a short timewhen he was selected as chairman of a committee entrusted

with the responsibility of solving one of the most troublesome problems ever confronting the Grand Lodge, thequestion of legalizing State Associations and what rightsand responsibilities should be given them.

At the end of three years, constitutional and statutoryamendments for the legalization and regulation of StateAssociations recommended by his committee had beenadopted by the Grand Lodge and State Associations werein operation.

Their accomplishments in the strengthening and advancement of the Order reflect his soundness of judgment,his clearness of vision and his capacity for successful concentration on the solution of a troublesome problem.

The next year he was unanimously elected Grand ExaltedRuler.

When our country entered the First World War, he became a member of the Elks National War Relief Commis

sion.

Upon the conclusion of the outstanding service of thatCommission he was made a member of the National Me

morial and Publication Commission and played an important part in the creating and the managing of our MemorialBuilding and our Elks Magazine.

Our present Grand Exalted Ruler has taken as his sloganfor the year:- SERVE ELKDOM—LIVE ELKDOM.

ere he seeking an Elk properly to personify the qualities of serving and living Elkdom, he would have found inBruce Campbell such a personification of those qualities.

Brother Campbell served Elkdom, he lived Elkdom, because he had a love for the Order that almost passed understanding.

He possessed a most unusual capacity for friendship andhad thousands of friends, devoted friends. He was loyal inhis friendships and they lasted through his entire life.

As Grand Exalted Ruler, Brother Campbell was responsible for the first denunciation of Communism, then calledBolshevism, by the Order of Elks and probably the first byany national American organization, when, in 1918, hesaid to the Grand Lodge members in Session

"I recommend that at this Session of the Grand Lodgestrong and vigorous resolutions be passed placing ourorganization on record as pledged to do everythingwithin its power to drive from this country of ours allorganizations and individuals who are not in sympathywith our form of government, who do not give undi-

64

vided allegiance to its flag and who seek to disorganizeand disrupt the great principles upon which Americais founded."

The resolution that he suggested was unanimouslyadopted by the Grand Lodge.

Brother Campbell was married shortly after he becamean Elk and had a very happy married life.

Of all the members of his family he was justifiablyproud.

Not%vithstanding the time he was obliged to give to hispractice in the legal profession where he attained a standing of distinction, notwithstanding the time he gave to hisElk activities including contacts with lodges all over thesurrounding territory and the attention he gave to thatsplendid movement, the Illinois State Elks Crippled Children Clinic, he was a devoted family man.

This was rendered somewhat easier by the understandingof and the affection for the Order, entertained by Mrs.Campbell who accompanied him on nearly all his Elk visitsthrough the years and is almost as well known as he amongthe members of the Order.

His physical strength weakened during the recent yearsbut his spirit of brotherhood, his desire to continue fraternal associations with his brother Elks strengthened ratherthan diminished. Mrs. Campbell's care of him during thatperiod won the admiration of all who have witnessed it andcontributed materially to the comfort of his declining years.

In the passing of Past Grand Exalted Ruler Bruce Campbell there has gone a loyal American, and a great Elk, buthe has left us the record of his service to his family, hiscountry and to the Order of Elks that shall last forever.

NOVEMBER

*'And, therefore, 1. William Bradford(by the grace of God today,and the franchise of these good people)Governor of Plymouth, say—Through virtue of vested power weshall gather with one accordand hold in the month of November

Thanksgiving unto the Lord."Now comes Grand Exalted Ruler Walker reminding all

Elks in his November message appearing in this issue thatthis year Thanksgiving week is the date selected for "KnowYour America Week", which the Order has effectivelysupported ever since its creation three years ago.

As the Grand Exalted Ruler notes, November is themonth in which plans are made for the annual MemorialServices to be held the first Sunday in December.

Also, the Lodge Activities Committee has set Novemberas the date of a "Plan Elkdom's Progress Class" in honorof the Grand Exalted Ruler.

In November comes Veterans Day to which the members of the Order under the leadership and with the cooperation of the Elks National Service Commission, will begiving proper recognition.

And so. all in all, this November is going to be an exceptionally active one among the Subordinate Lodges andtheir individual members.

May all Elks accept the responsibilities and opportunitiesoffered and meet them in a manner contributing to theprestige of the Order.
