A Nkhol's Worth of m Comment On This and That By HARMAN W. NICHOLS Unitd Press Future Writer Washington U.R) Only a few years ago Dong Kingman was a house boy in San Fran cisco. But the 43-y ear-old Chinese put some water colors and a brush to work and his results in the fight against Commu n s m already are evident. Dong Human Nichol has ust re turned from a mix month tour of 13 countries His weapons were his brush and easel. The State Department sent him out to combat Commu nism by teaching the American way of life. ; He was the first artist ever to be appointed to such a job by h state DeDartment. And he did so well that Henry Howland, chief of the State Department's International Education Ex change Service, is starting a pro gram of using others of tne top American artists to deliver the fine word about democracy. Painting at Five I had a long talk with Dong, an affable man who was born in San Francisco and who at the age of five went to Hong Kong with his parents. He hadn't been there long before he was attract ing crowds by splashing paint on discarded rice bags. , When he was 18, Dong return ed to San Francisco. He set up shop in a restaurant. But he epent more time with' a brush than he did with a ladle. So he went broke. So he became a houseboy. ; Along came 1935 and the Torks Progress Administration. They wanted some painters;. Dong was hungry and willing. He did all right And that very your -way and fast! PHONE - GET LOAN ON FIRST VISIT Give a few quick facts about yourself on phone.

It was in the musty corner of an obscure San Francisco li brary. There was a rave from the critics and Dong was on his way, . . Excited by People Today, after his trip and after having taught water colors at Columbia ,University and having had his works exhibited by most of the art museums in the coun try, Dong is top flight. He's a little guy and he's shy and modest. He's also proud of his eldest son, Eddie, is in the Marines in Korea. - . "Everywnere I went on this long tour,'! Dong said, "We had crowds. In Germany they group ed around to watch me paint." The first time he rode a New York subway he remarked: "This is mass art. I won't live long enough' to put my brush to work on what I saw in one day!" Crowds excite him to creative work. One of his greatest thrills as upon his arrival on his tour at Hong Kong, which he calls his home town. There he. was met at the air port by Sze-To Wai, his old art teacher,, the .only instructor he ever had. He was discouraged at an art school in San Francisco because he had "no future." As We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. Snoopy Neighbors Make Woman's Life Unhappy Neighbors can prove to be a nuisance as well as a help. This is what the woman who wrote today's letter is finding. She states: -' ' ' (Q) "I am 'single, 41 years old, and go to business every day. I enjoy having a nice home with a little' garden lo work in when I am not in my -office. Last spring, I bought a small house : in a neighbor hood where there are many families with small children. I could not afford to go to any ether neighborhood. Now, this is my problem: "The neighbors all seem to spy on me.' In hot weather when I had to keep my doors open, they were constantly looking in to see what I was doing. The older children ask me such pointed questions that Z am . sure , their parents put them up to it to find out about me. I resent this very much' and it has made things very unpleasant for me. And yet, I do not want to be cooped-up in a city apartment where I -cannot have my garden. What do you suggest as a solution?" (A) Until you can locate- a home with a garden that will be within your budget, stay where you are and ignore the neighbor's snooping. By now, the novel ty should have worn off and they should soon stop both ering you. 3 I ..When you are with a large Dr. Hurlock number of young married people, it is logi cal for them to look upon you as somewhat of a curiosity, Here you are, a single woman, living all -.lone in a neighborhood that is predominately a family crea They naturally wonder what sort of housekeeper you are, when you are away from home all day; what you do in your free time without a husband and shfl dreh for companionship; and what sort of friends you have. Since.' they cannot " get the in formation through watching you. they unquestionably have tried to get their- older children, to pump" you. ' . ' ' v If you went to an area where there were few people around you, you wouldVnot only have the problem of safety to con sider but also. the problem of commuting to - your; job. You should consider these factors move. r Try to be friendly with your neighbors and even invite some of the women to come to your home. Once they see how you live, their curiosity about you' will be satisfied and than they will accept you as one of them. (COPYRIGHT 1954, GENERAL FEATURES CORP.)
