Ui Mrs. Eliz abeth Thompson, Cfarks Summit, Pa., celebrating her 100th birth day, recalled the pioneer days when the Indians were considered displaced persons and the housing problem was just as acute as it is today. When she was three years old, Mrs. Thompson said her parents sought a home-site in the wilds of northeastern Pennsylvania. It was a time when the only way to beat the housing shortage was to pick a site in the forest and cut enough trees to build four walls and a roof. That's what her par ents did. The centenarian said that, at that time, the Indians were being transferred to reservations by the government as displaced persons. RITCHIE SKRIOrSLV II. I.

Istanbul W Istanbul Is the; best liberty port the U. S. navy ever dropped anchor in, accord- i ing to four, out of five officers and men of the aircraft carrier Tarawa and escort vessels which visited here. The American fleet, under com mand of Admiral Richard L. Con oily, was on the tail end of a five months' cruise which had taken it to ports all over the Pacific, the Far and Near East The men unhesitantly ranked Istanbul over Athens, Hong Kong and even Honolulu. Some went so far as to say it is friendlier than some American ports. Much credit must go to Turkish police officials who bent over backwards to give the navy an "open armed welcome." Police had strict orders to do "everything possible" to help the Americans. If a sailor asked for directoi-s he was not to be directed, but escort ed to his destination. Drunks or trouble-makers were to be inter fered with only as a last resort and- then only turned over to the shore patrol, never arrested. Police Help Out Special piainclothesmen were assigned to watch taxicabs, res taurants and shops to see that prices were not hiked for the Yanks. When taxis loaded with sailors pulled up to a curb to un load, the chances were an innocent-appearing bystander would saunter up to watch tiie pay-off. If it was a penny too much the driver made acquaintance with the innocent bystander's identity a policeman. In cases of dis pute, where it appeared the Amer icans were trying to gyp the cab by, the bystander would pay the bill, out of a special fund ailoted for this purpose by the city. The city administration chose tneir nest ouses, painted signs on them "Reserved for U. S. Naval Personnel," and sent them to ' meet all liberty boats to haul sail- ors to points of interest free. In j addition the Yanks were invited j to ride all regular buses and ; street ears free. j More credit would have to go to the Turkish "man on the street" j who, according to the sailors, "were so friendly we really felt like we were welcome here, and j not- looked on as intruders." Scores of officers and men were: simply invited in off the streets to coffee or tea by Turkish fami-; Hi's, in addition to organized re-. captions and parties by the dozen, Entertainment Provided "American colony" women set up a USO in the Union Urran caise club which . accommodated more than 500 enthusiastic sail ors every night English-speaking Turkish girls from nearby college and schools, under supervision, came in to dance. The navy said they had never seen anything like it outside the umted states. In attempting to explain all this, some observers said it isall due to the American military aid program to Turkey, and the Mar shall plan aid. Others said it was because the Turks feel good in having a show of American strength around to help stiffen their backbone in resisting Rus sian territorial and Dardenelles claims. But according to a typical Turk "We, are just naturally friendly to everyone untu tney snow us tney are our enemies. You Americans have never done anything to hurt us, so we're friends." New Record Set In Unemployment Unemployment In Central Ore gon was at an all time high of 2000 in the month of February and in the same period employers orders for workers was at the near record low ol 47, Clark A. Price, manager of the Bend office of the state unemployment com pensation commission reported to day. Clark said that the 2000 fig ure was the highest number of unemployed in the area since sta tistical secords iiave been maintained. The number of individuals drawing unemployment compen sation iumned to 1200 in Febru ary up 100 over January, he said, and approximately SbcMJuo was paid to claimants In that per iod as compared with $32,000 paid out In February 1948. Of the $64,- 000 total, $39,000 went to unem ployment compensation claim ants, according to Clark, while 52b,000 was paid to veterans un der the servieemens readjustment act. Clark said that the $65,000 rep resented about one fourth of the normal potential purchasing pow er of the claimants when full-time employed. Applicants screened Ail applicants were carefully screened and classified according to their education ana work ex perience," Clark stated, "with the objective of the program to pro vide a better and more complete service to employes and work ap plicants. "As a result of this careful clas sification program," he added, "the Bend office, not only knows Its stock-m-trade but is in the best position in the history of the serv ice to serve employers in need of workers. Policy Noted Clark said that it is the policy of the employment service to first send workers living in the town or locality .where the job exists to fill an employer's order. Failing in this, he explained that the serv ice would send workers from the next nearest point. Any employer In Central Ore gon, according to Clark, can place an order for workers with the un employment service and appli cants will be referred to him for interview. At all times, Clark con cluded, the employer makes the traal cliotce of applicants lor work order, Ski clubs have become numer ous in America; It is estimated that over 2,000,000 people now are devotees of this winter sport.
