PORTALES, N. M. ACP).
Ready for a hard-luck story? It's
about Lylene Garner, freshman at
Eastern New Mexico college.
Tortales.
On the first day of school this
year she fell upstairs at women's
hall and suffered minor bruises.
Then she developed a recalcitrant
appendix and had to have an op
eration. Shortly afterward, in
what she calls a blue trance, she
sat down on a hot radiator, aris
ing therefrom with alacrity and
pome pain.
Next she was accidentally hit
by a playful girl-friend and sport
ed a black eye. Now Lylene ha a
broken nose, acquired when she
walked into a door that should
have been open and wasn't
Small wonder that- Lylene is a
bit cynical these days.

' ... on the dial
Thousands of push button radio
sets will be thrown out of kilter
this month when 90 percent of the
United States radio stations ob
serve "Radio's Moving Day,"
March 29.
On this day, a red-letter day In
the history of broadcasting on the
western hemisphere, approximate
ly 1,300 broadcasting stations on
the North American continent will
change wave lengths, and radio
service men thruout the nation
will be called in to reset push but
ton sets, and in general change
and adjust radios to comply with
the new changes.
The big wave length shakcup
has been in the making since de
tails in the Havana Treaty were
worked out in a Havana confer
ence in 1937. Under the treaty,
Canada gets six exclusive chan
nels, Mexico gets six, Cuba gets
one and the United States gets an
increase in clear channels from
44 to 59.
According to the National As
sociation of Broadcasters the re
allocation will result in better ra
dio reception on more radio sta
tions and will eliminate inter
ference between stations. A result
expected in the future will be care
ful long-time planning between
governments in this hemisphere.
The immediate effect will be to
change dial locations on the over
50,000,000 radio sets in this coun
try. Station KFAB will change its
frequency from 770 to 780 kilo
cycles; KFOR will be heard on
1240 kilocycles instead of 1210,
and KOIL's new wave length will
be 1290.
Omaha's radio stations WOW
and KOWH will not change their
wave lengths.

National defense, however, has
had its effect. Some 3 percent of
the men say that they want to go
into aviation. Projected against
enrollment figures, that would
mean that colleges today contain
some 20,000 air-minded young
people.

In the Book Nook
Kahloona
By Gontran de Poncins.
Kablcona, which is the name
given to the white man by the
Eskimo of the far Arctic region
of the mainland and vast islands
north of Canada, was chosen for
the title of a book by Gontran de
Poncins because it concerns the
life of the white man in those re
gions. De Poncins gathered the ma
terial for "Kabloona" from the
log kept during a year and a half
of living in the north, and from his
experiences and observations on a
20,000 mile journey through the
Far North. '
This new slant on the life of the
Eskimo and his associations with
the white man in the far north is
full of remarkable anecdotes and
fascinating pictures of the easy
going, happy life of the natives. It
is a story of the way of the
Eskimo's living, an exact routing,
and to change one item in this
routine is, for the Eskimo, impos
sible. Eating, with the Eskimo, is
ectasy and it is the same with love.
Commenting on this, Hejiry Seidel
Canby, says, "Love is a passion,
not a romance. In the spring the
whole tribe goes mad with a sexual
ectasy which extends even to the
very old. The Eskimo's women,
who have no rights and are lent
like any other property, neverthe
less make a home in the wastes
possible and subtly control the ac
tions of the family.... it is the
family that persists.
No stealing.
"The only crime is killing in
order to get desired wife. There
is no stealing, for whatever they
have is in common in an emerg
ency. No one starves unless all
starve.
De Poncins went north not just
to study the Eskimo, but to be
come intimate with him, to learn
to live and think and feel as he
did, and to experience, in his heart
and soul as well as in his body,
the life of Stone-Age man.
Stone Age culture.
In this book the author grad
ually discovers that the culture of
the Stone Age could be as elab
orate and often more satisfying
than our own, then the dirt, blood,
smell, cold, and strange personal
habits of the Eskimos became tol
erable and, at last, inseparable
from their philosophy of living.
All in all, it is one of the most
remarkable books to roam out of
the Far North in a long, long
time.
About the author his real name
is Vicomte Gontran de Montaigne
de Poncins. In 1920 he served as
an interpreter for the American
Army of Occupation in the Rhine
land. He learned his English from
doughboys, from American paint
ers at the Beaux Arts la Paris,
from the British textile men with
whom he, as London manager of
an Italian silk concern, had traded
for some J'tars, and from aUcr

game hunters, governors of prov
inces and Hudson's Ba.v post man
agers everywhere between New
Guinea and the Arctic Circle.
Material from diary.
He wandered just to be wander
ing, not to gather material for a
book, and when he finally wrote
"Kabloona,'' he got his material
from the diary he had kept during
15 months in the north.
The book is the book-of-th-month
for March and will be in
the Nook within a week. For
spare moment reading, it promises
to be one of the best in its field.
