‘Ever Hear Of Ulithy?
It's An Interesting Place!
In a recent letter to his mother,
Mrs. S. V. Sanford, Capt. Shelton
Sanford (Doctor) wrote extensive
ly of his visit to the Island of
Vlithi in the South Pacific,
“It was a most interesting trip,”
he writes, as we got to see the
few hundred remaining Ulithians
—a stone-age people who are still
living In a state prior to the ex
pulsion from the Garden of Eden.”
* Capt. Sanford made the trip to
VUlithi by air and spent the night
on the island. His long and in
teresting letter concerning the na
tive Ulithians, their customs and
general mode of life, is rife with
accounts of the native reactions
to certain aspects of the civilized
world.
Captain and Mrs. Sanford and
daughter, Sara Grace, were ex
pected to arrive in Athens dur
ing the week-end for a visit with
his mother, Mrs, S. V. Sanford.
They are enroute from Saipan,
where Captain Sanford was in
charge of a naval hospital, to
Norfolk, Va., where he will head
the naval hospital. The Sanfords
were on Saipan for more than
a year, being transferred to Nor
folk when the big hospital on
the island was deactivated.
During his visit here, the fam
ily party will be joined by Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Sanford and
sons, Charles, jr., and Shelton
I, of Savannah, where Mr.
Sanford is president of Liberty
National Bank. Also coming ov
er for the reunion will be Mr,
and Mrs. Homer Reynolds San
ford, Atlanta. Mr. Sanford is
an insurance company executive
there.
“1t is hard to appreciate the
complete simplicity of the lives of
these Ulithians,” says Captfain
Sanford. “The yhave no wants
which cannot be easily filled with=-
out appreciable effort.
“When we arrived on the air
strip a group of fifteen natives
were squatting around in a circle
waiting for us,” Captain Sanford
writes. “They are very friendly.
The King is very old and is the
most tatooed man you ever saw—
with great blue stripes down his
arms and legs,
“We visited the primitive village
where we saw the great men’s
hut. No women may enter. The
elders of the village were sitting
around on their grass mats—en
gaged in comtemplation or met
aphysics—but no useful work so
far as I could see.
“The younger men were build
fng an outrigger out of some wood
resembling mahogany which they
had imported from Yap, a nearby
island.
“Duck” Travel
“We had to land on one side of
the great lagoon and then travel
by “duck”—an amphibious vehicle
which travels as fast on land as
on gea. We went 20 miles in this
strange vehicle to the little radio

McLOUTH, Kans.—The only nu- |
dist colony in Kansas will give
you a home forever, if you like the |
sun. |
Echo Valley, now entering its}
fourth year of operation, has this
bonafide real estate offer to make:
practice and believe in nudism,
and they'll help you build your
home, land free, with a building
bee in the nude. |
A mallbox bearing the namel
Ahman Karr is the only marker
to lead you down the path to thel
big wooden gate that soys: “Echo
Valley, members only, sound horn
for admittance.” |
Good manners require you to
obey, On a week end you will be
telling some 70 members that
“company” has come to the 88-
acre tract.
* & »
Week-day visitors will prob
&bly be answered at the gate by
Karr's wife, Emily, or Mrs. Gerry
Wilber. The Karrs, Mr. and Mrs.
Wilber and the two Wilber chil
dren are year-round residents of
the camp. 2
The gate interview-—where you
either pass or flunk admission—
§s always conducted with' camp
personnel clothed, althcugh oc
casionally a nude child will scam~

mother can send him back,
A membership fee of sls gives
the whole family access to the
camp for a year, and visitors from
other states can stop for sunning
if they’ve cleared with the Amer
jcan Sunbathers Association and
Karr by mail,
Single members are welcome,
too. Karr, a 33-year-old truck
driver, started the camp three
i}ears ago when he was single.

convention, and they returned to
Echo Valley to start making the
camp into a c.olo‘ny.‘
During the week, Karr com-

Although the surrounding com
munity is not over-eager about
the colony, “they seem to leave
us alone,” says Mrs, Wilber. “I
guess they are getting used to it
how.”
The camp includes & lodge, a 2
€abin, open air community show=

nudists’ national game. And each
member has a brown baseball hat
bearing his or her name under
the words “Echo Valley.”
A lake to replace the present
gwimming hele is one of the new
station where we spent the night.
“After supper we went to the
movie provided for the station
personnel. On this particular little
island there were only 15 natives.
They all came to the movies in
their grass skirts and “G” strings
—otherwise, they were cempletely
naked,
“They sat around on the benches
or on the floor and watched the
movie—which of all things was ‘I

Clothes?
“Some priest came thru here
some time ago and suggested these
people wear clothes, but fortun
ately the King vetoed this proposal
as it would lead to complications,
They would have to have a
chinese laundry and perhaps sew
ing machines—which now-a-days
are electrified, and this would
require power,
; “The queen’s daughter was at
‘the movie with a tiara of green
‘and white flowers. Her husband
had two white feathers in his hair.
Otherwise, there were no marks
of distinetion,
“The plane pilot said I should
have brought the King some news
papers. I told him that I was very
sorry I did not know that as I had
several Sunday N. Y. Times (only
six weeks old) and would like to
have brought them to the King.
He said yes, it was too bad as the
King liked newspapers to wrap
his tobacdo in.
“Thursday, on the way across
the lagoon—four hours by the
amphibious vehicle—the Queen
and her daughter and four noble
men came with us. The two women
smoked constantly. They had am
ple cigarets and a zipper lighter.
Their costumes were the same
grass skirts of the night, before.
Savvy King
“The King seemed so be a very
savvy man—but quite conserva
tive in politics—somewhat to the
right of Franz Joseph, Abdul Ham
ed II and Herbert Hoover. His
people's needs are very simple
and he sees no point in making
life too complicated, They have
an abundance of coconuts which
they could export if need be, but
they need so little! This ig a noble
race, SO we saw no ‘common’ peo

“Their outriggers are woiks of

pleasure and they are great sailors.
“Their language is very simple
and is spoken only by a few thou

“Next week-end (one week in
April of this year) we have a dele

visit very much.”
Captain Sanford’s letter amounts
to a minor anthropological repcet

What Means:
a ‘
Plan T Change
Vels Insurance
. By DAVID 0. TYSON
WASHINGTON — Legislation to
cut the cost of the veterans’ in
surance program may soon be in
troduced in Congress. A house
Expenditures subcommittee has
ended hearings on National Service
Life Insurance (NSLI) and hopes
before Congress adjourns to come
up with specific recommendations
for ironing out wrinkles in the pro
gram,
Rep: Porter . Hardy (D.-Va.),
subcommittee chairman, made it
clear however that the insurance
protection of veterans and service
men who now ‘hold policies cannot
be affe~ted. “NSLI policies,” he
said, “are definite, irrevocable con
tracts between the government and
the insured.” But Rep. Hardy may
recommend changes in the types of
policies to be issued from now on.
What they will be he isn’t saying
until he can study the evidence
further,
Reduce Dividends
One likely recommendation
might reduce dividends slightly on
present policies. During the hear
ings the subcommittee questioned
whether the three per cent interest
paid by the government on invest
ed NSLI fund was not too liberal
a subsidy. The secretary of the
treasury, not Congress, could bring
this interest rate into line with the
current market rate of 2.2 per cent.
The subcommittee said the govern
ment in this way could have saved
$210,000,000 up to October 1949
and still kept the NSLI fund in
tact.
It also said the high administra
tive cost of NSLl—which the gov
ernment pays—could be reduced
only by the Veterans Adminis
tration (VA). It is estimated that
handling each NSLI policy costs
sl4 a year compared to $8.49 for
policies in the five largest com
mercial companies. It questioned
whether the VA should not pay
dividends to the government when
premiums were paid by the gov
ernment. As an inducement for
enlistment, aviation cadets since
1940 have been granted SIO,OOO
free insurance with the govern
ment paying all premiums. How
ever, when those premiums were
discovered to be excessive, divi
dends totalling $16,000,000 were
paid back not to the government,
bus to the cadets,
“Desirable Thing”
Two significant recommenda
tions were laid before the subcom
mittee by the VA insurance chief,
Harold W. Breining. He said if
Congress didé yioti { extend; NSLL
five=year term insurance it would
be “a very desirable thing” !or‘
veterans and the government. He
pointed out that World War I vets
who kept term insurance are get
ting to the point where annual
premiums are prohibitive, (Re
newal of term insurance costs
more as the insured gets older.)
Congress has already extended
twice the World War II term in
surance carried by more than
3,000,000 veterans.
Breining also said that in an
other national emergency an NSLI
scheme “would not be satisfac
tory.” He recommended some form
of death gratuity instead of insur
ance. A Defense Department
spokesman disagreed and said if
a serviceman becomes uninsurable
during ‘service NSLI gives him a
certain amount of insurance he
couldn’t get on discharge. He said
enlisted men cannot afford ade
quate commercial coverage and
each year in service penalizes
them.
The Hardy subcommittee was
set up under the Congressional Re
organization Act of 1946 to in
vestigate the efficiency and econ
omy of agencies in the executive
department. The report soon to
come out on veterans’ insurance
will be based on 10 months’ re
search and four weeks of hearings.

GENOA REPORTS ON
CHRISTOPHER. COLUMBUS
ROME.— (AP) —As far as his
home town of Genoa is concerned,
Christopher Columbus is buried
in Santo Domingo and not in
Spain. Recent reports from Sev
ille, Spain, said that a burial
found there was now believed to
be the remains of the Genoese
naivgator., The burial was in a
| grave in the crypt of the Church
of Santa Maria de las Cuevas.
The Genoese Center for Colum
bias studies which specializes in
such matters says Columbus was
once buried in Seville, but the
present finding must -be inaccu
rate. The body was moved. Ac
cording to the Genoese center, the
“admiral of all the oceans” died
at Valladolid, Spain, May 20, 1506.
He was buried there. Then his
son, Diego, had the body moved to
the Church of Santa Maria de las
Cuevas in Seville in 1509. But in
1544, or earlier, the body was
taken from Seville to the Cathe~
dral of Santo Domingo, in the
present capital of the Dominican
Republic.
WILD WHEAT
The first grains of wheat grew
wild on the steppes of Asia, thou
sands of years ago. This wild
| wheat was the genesis of the grain
that we know and use tod~y .

lead. The early Romans were

Georgia Power Company Plans
Service Improvement Program
BRUNSWICK, Ga., June 10—
The Georgia Power Company will
build a large, modern steam-elec
tric power plant costing over $5,-
000,000 as part of an extensive
program to improve electric ser
vice in this area, it was announc
ed here today by C. B. M¢cManus,
president of the company.
Construction of the new plant’s
first generating unit, which will
have a capacity of 30,000 kilowatts
or 40,000 horsepower, will start in
the near future. This unit should
be in operation by the middle of
1952. The plant is being designed,
however; for ultimate enlarge
ment to four units with a total ca
pacity of 120,000 kilowatts.
Announcement of the power
company’s plans for expanding
and strengthening the electric ser
vice in the Brunswick area was
made at a luncheon sponsored by
the Chamber of Commerce at the
Oglethorpe Hotel. More than 200
guests were present, including city
and county officials, representa
tives of the various civic organiza
tion and other leading citizens.
The plant’s initial unit will pro
duce approximately 150,000,000
kilowatt hours a year. In 1949 the
total requirements of the Bruns
wick area were 58,000,000 kilowatt
hours. Last vear the maximum de
mand in the Brunswick district
was 12,700 kilowatts. The new
plant’s first unit will be capable
of producing 30,000 }{il(_)watts.
Lists Projects
Other projects which Mr. Mc-
Manus said will strengthen and
improve the electric service in the
Brunswick area include the fol
lowing:
A new 110,000-volt transmission
line from Macon to Vidalia by way
of Eastman is now under con
struction and should be comple
ted this fall. This will provide an
alternate route for power between
Macon and Brunswick. When it is
to increase the continuity of ser
vice between Vidalia and Bruns
wick. A new 20,000 kilowatt sub
station at Eastmanis part of the
project. ; .
A 110,000-volt transmissien line
from Claxton to Brunswick tying
in at Claxton with the existing
line to Vidalia is scheduled for
completion in the summer of 1952.
Together with the new Macon-
Eastman-Vidalia line, it will pro
vide a new route power between
Macon and Bruswick. When it is
finished, Brunswick will have two
separate sources of power from
the Georgia Power Company trans
mission network.
A new 110,000-volt transmission
line will be built between Eastman
and Fitzgerald, connecting there
with a line from Plant Mitchell
near Albany. This line will make
it possible to route power to
Brunswick from the southern part
of the company’s system.
Mr. McManus also pointed out
that the power company will spend
a total of over $91,000,000 for ad
ditions and improvements to its
state-wide electric facilities in the
three years from 1950 through 1952
and that over $51,000,000 of this is
