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

j year he put on his first one man
show. 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."

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.

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

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

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.

Do you know a bachelorette

male admirers' and a little de
pressed about the situation?
Does she swing her hips when
she walks? If not, have her con
sider this observation by Mrs.
Jonnie Lee McFadden: "The
most precious possession of every
woman is sex magnetism and she
is not going to radiate that un
less she exercises regularly, cuts
down on cocktails- and cigar

vegetables, and learns to swing
her hips when she walks!"
