VACATION BACHELORS HIDING OUT By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP Newsfeatures Writer Vacation time, the great annual Vnpun season on the eligible male, is As most of the nation’s married couples are battling to a decision between mother’s choice of a resort | hotel and father's pitch for a cabin near a trout stream, the nation’s }\pm\leri are preparing for the big | hunt. Husband-| hummg, of course, is a | year-round avocation. But that | precious two-or three-weeks with pay gives a girl a short period in which to really concentrate on the project. Much has been written and poken on the arts and techniques to be used in hooking, playing and [landing the Big Catch. The prob- | lem, as I see it, is not so much how o fish as where, | After all, the best equipment in the world isn’t going to be of much use if there aren’t any lions in the forest or tuna in the deep. Cruise Trip Once upon & time someone -may- be it was someone conuected with travel business — successfully promulgated the story that eager husband-hunters would be practic- ally certain to find some fair game The lonjer the iise the beiter the odds. Maybe it was true once, Lut the shippn apparcn !y, have be:n over- An unsophisticaiel unmur- | ng man of my acg ntanec: recently inves'ed some savings in a three week cruise with the sole idea of getting some mu needed r and a change. He returned home haggard wreck, occasionzd, he ¢ fessed, by the cruise-ship-passenzers, | Dedges Females They were 99 per cent unattached fer , he said with horror in his eyes at the memory, and he spent almost all of his shipboard time hiding from them. “They hunted in packs, he said. “The only time I felt safe was be- ;hind the locked door of my state | room.” I know several young women who, independently, decided to invest in | fancy wardrobes and expensive ho- | tel accommodations at fashionahle |resorts in the mountains or at the | seashore in the hope of setting some effective marital traps.

I know one lass who spent considerable funds buying attractive ski and particularly—after-ski costumes set off for the ski-tow country. “Horrible,” she reported. “There were men, all right, gorgeous ones. But they spent the daylight hours skiing, then they ate their dinners in a tight little group and retired to gather strength to try to break their necks the following day. I'll never [ try that again. All I got out of it was a sprained ankle.” Where Do They Go? and The question arises. Where do eligible bachelors go on their vaca- tions? Are secret male sanctuarie set up to which they fly to safely one of from women? It may well be of the great natural mysteric our time, like the nesting grounds of the whooping crane. I can but give one piece of ad- vice to the Dianas of the husband chase: Pick your vacation ground somewhere close to a military in- stallation. We know that a number of eligible young men are concen- ' rated in ‘these areas. I understand, however, that space is scarce in these places and the quarry is pret- ty busy at mandatory chores. It's & real chancy business. BEATRICE SHEPARD TO ANCHORAGE MONDAY Miss Beatrice Shepard, senior chemist for the Alaska Health de- partment in Juneau, will leave for Anchorage Monday where she will join Christine Heller and Claudia Kelsey to assist' in a study of the edible plants of Alaska. The nutrition team will compile information on the availability of edible plants in various sections of the Territory as an aid to home- steaders and other groups unfam- iliar with Alaskan plants. Miss Shepard’s work will involve determinations of mineral and vit- amin content of these edible plants. She will also develop methods of collection, preparation and shipping of plants under field conditicns. Miss Shepard. and Miss Kelsey are residents of the Fritz Cove road and Miss Heller is presently taking graduate work at Cornell University. SEATON FAMILY GOES SOUTH; LOCATE BOTHELL Mr. and Mrs. A E.
