Washington, D.C. — Benjamin
Franklin was the first member of
the foreign service of the United
States department of state when
in 1776 he was appointed joint com
missioner to France and in 1778
minister to France.
At least seven men who later
became President served as chiefs
of missions abroad. The consular
service was launched in 1780 as an
adjunct of the diplomatic service,
but was not consolidated with it
until 1924.
Briefly, the foreign service rep
resents the American people and
the American government through
out the world and is the means of
carrying out American foreign pol
icy abroad
In the set-up of the functional
operation of the state department
as now constituted, the foreign
service operates directly under the
secretary and the under secretary
of state. It is broken down into
six major departments and these
in turn are broken down into 18
small offices. The six main bu
reaus, all under an assistant sec
retary of state, include the bureau
of German affairs, bureau of Unit
ed Nations affairs, bureau of Euro
pean affairs, bureau of inter-Amer
ican affairs, bureau of near east
ern, south Asian and African af
fairs and the bureau of far east
ern affairs.
With the eyes of the world focused
today on the Far East and South
Asia, these latter two departments
are of tremendous importance. The
Near East and the south Asian af
fairs bureau is broken down into
the office of Greek, Turkish and
Iranian affairs, the office-of Afri
can and near e a st e r n affairs
and the office of south Asian af
fairs. The bureau of far eastern
affairs is broken down into the of
fice of Chinese affairs, the office
of northeast Asian affairs and the
office of Philippine and southeast
ern Asian affairs.
Presiding over the near eastern
burfeau is Assistant Secretary
George Crew McGhee of Texas, an
Oklahoma university graduate and
a Rhodes scholar. Serving as chief
of the Far Eastern affairs bureau
is Dean Rusk of Georgia, a grad
uate of several American colleges

THE THOUSANDS of men and
women in the foreign services are
screened, chosen for particular
aptitude and technical training for
specific jobs, and are known as
“career” men and women and gen
erally make a life wdfk of the
foreign service.
So conscious has the department
of state become of the necessity
of winning political objectives
through diplomacy after the coun
try has won military victories or
without military aid, the depart
ment in 1947 established the foreign
service institute, which is actually
a school for training young men
and women in the foreign service of
the country. It is departmentalized
for specialized training, including
schools for all the languages of the
world. ^
.The. institute tsuflow locatedJa
an eight-story building at 2115 C
street N.W. in Washington and
periodically its graduates, coming
from every state in the union, find
their way into the ranks of the
foreign service. The institute also
trains employees of other govern
mental agencies concerned with
foreigh affairs. Hie courses run
up to six months, with the regular
course for new foreign service of
ficers now three months. •
The school for basic officer
training provides courses designed
to prepare new personnel for ini
tial field duty. The school of ad
vanced officer training is con
cerned with graduate-level instruc
tion in the social science fields, in
cluding economics, politics, law,
sociology, social psychology, cul
tural anthropology, etc. And the
school of languages is designed to
equip the employees with a rudi
mentary or even advanced knowl
edge of the language of the coun
try of assignment
The foreign service institute
equips the representatives of the
American people to do a much bet
ter job for them in the 75 nations
where consuls, embassies and other
diplomatic missions are main
tained. By the measurement of
every yardstick the training is giv
ing to the department a higher
type of American citizen than has
ever before been possible.

Wing Shooting
We agree with that vast majority
of outdoor writers who assert that
wing-shooting cannot be taught by
the printed word. It’s a fact—it can’t
be done. But as in any other sport
or undertaking, there are certain
little skills picked up by the veter
an which may often help the begin
ner—or even a veteran scatter-shot
man whose shooting isn’t as good
as, it should be.
For instance, here’s one tip, if fol
lowed, that is guaranteed to im
prove the field score of an indiffer
ent wing-shot: When hunting quail,
remember that your chance for a
kill is better if you will single out
one bird at a time. That chance be
comes even better if you’ll wait un
til Mr. Bobwhite "levels off.”
THE
FICTION
CORNER
SECOND WIFE
By Richard H. Wilkinson
L IFE began for Lionel Ainsley
when he met Cynthia Trumble.
She was the fulfillment of dreams
that were dreamed while he sat
alone by his camp fire in the wil
derness, while he listened to the
hoots of owls and
the screeches of
bobcats, and won
dered if the time
would ever come
when somebody sat with him by the
fire and listened to the night sounds
that had been his only companions
since graduation from the state
school of forestry two years ago.
He met Cynthia when he came out
of the bush one June for a short
vacation. They were married the
day he was due to start back into
the woods.
The first week was deliciously
sweet Cynthia had been a country
girl, and because Lionel was her
first real love, she eagerly looked
forward to spending weeks alone
with him in the wilderness.
That was before they reached
Woodsville, where Lionel had his
base. There was a big packing com
pany at Woodsville, run by a man
named Benton, who had a son
named Austin. Fresh from college
young Austin had come to Woods
ville to learn the packing busipess.
Quite naturally the place was dull
and boring to one so sophisticated.
Then Lionel and his pew wife
arrived, and Austin looked on
Cynthia and vowed to know her
better. Austin had that polish
about him that attracts women.

30 Months Late, Letter Makes a Christmas in August
By BILLY ROSE
This morning s batch of mail included the following from a
man in Great Neck, L. L:
Dear Billy Rose:
As you probably noticed in the papers one day last August a
boy named Henry TurriU found a sack of undelivered mail in the
rear of. a junked automobile on the outskirts of Great Neck.
It consisted mostly of Christmas cards which had been mailed in
December, 1947, and the post office, after apologizing for the delay, prom
ised to deliver them the next day.
Billy Robb
Well, one of the pieces of mail
was addressd to me—a letter from
my wife, postmarked Cleveland,
Ohio, and dated De
cember 19, 1947. But
what was In that
letter won’t make
sense to you unless
I first tell you some
thing about myself.
Shortly after I'
was married in '44,
the draft boards be
gan taking anything
with two legs, and
after ten months in
Texas I was put on a boat and
shipped off to that swamp called
Qkinawa. By the time I got there,
the shooting was over, so I guess
? was better off than most of the
boys, but it was a dull and'muddy
sort of life, and I was plenty glad
when I was shipped back and dis
charged in ’47.
• • « r-
IT WAS TWO DATS before Christ
mas when I arrived in Great Neck,
and you can imagine how let down
I felt when I found that my wife
wasn’t there waiting for me. In
stead, there was a note on the table
saying' her mother wasn’t feeling
wdU, and she had gone to Cleve
land. She’d be back in a few days
—that is, if everything was an right
This, of course, wasn’t the home
coming I’d been figuring on and
I took it pretty hard. But realiz
ing there was nothing I could do
about it—her mother didn’t even
have a phone—I sent her a Merry
Christmas wire and told her to
hurry ‘back as soon as she could.
It wasn’t until after New Year’s,
however, that my wife showed up.
That was in ’47, and in th$
past thre* years a lot of nice
things have happened to us—a
son, a pretty good job, and
most of the mortg. ge paid off
on our house. None of which
would have come about if the
letter thy' wife sent me from
Cleveland bad arrived on sched
ule. v
In you see, she confessed there
hpd been another man while J’d
been away—nobody she cared any
thing about, just someone who had
happened along while she lone
ly and^ miserable. She said if I
didn’t Ivant her to come -back to
write and say so and she’d under
stand, but if she didn’t hear from
me she’d figure I had forgiven her
and would return and try to make
it up to me.
• • •
WHEN THE MAILMAN handed
me this three-year-old letter a
couple of weeks ago, I wondered
what the heck was in it, so I rip
ped it open and read it right there
on the porch. And s corny as it
sounds, all the time I was reading
it I could hear the vacuum going
inside and my son making a racket
in his upstairs bedroom.
Chances are, had I gotten this
letter when I was fresh out of the
army and plenty jumpy, I would
have caUed my wife every dirty
name and busted up our marriage
as fast as the law would allow. But
standing there on the porch I
thought of the three good years
we’d had together and the 30 more,
maybe, coming up—not to mention
the fact that I hadn’t always been a
saint myself. So, I put the letter
in my pocket, and that night after
work went to a jewelry store and
made a down-payment on one of
those wristwatches with little red
stones.
When l banded the present
to my missus after dinner, she
said, "What's this — Christmas
in August?”
"Exactly, baby,” I soul, and
then l told her l bad finally
gotten her letter and bow hap
py l wa it had come 3(7 months
late.
Since then we have talked a lot
about this lucky accident, and today
we decided there’s a lesson in the
story which might help a lot of
other couples who feel like busting
their marriages the first time some
thing goes wrong. If»you run this
letter in your column, we’d appre
ciate it, of course, if you didn’t use
our real names.
Lionel gestured toward the
girt "Cynthia, meet the new
Mrs. Ainsley,” he said.
canoe toward Woodsville to replen
ish their supplies. Cynthia’s pulse
quickened a little, and she kept her
eyes fastened on the bend in the
river that would first reveal the
great buildings of the packing
house.
What followed made Cynthia a
little ashamed. She hated to hurt
Lionel, he was so fine and generous
and kind. And so devoted. She
thought he’d object to > a divorce,
and it was a little disappointing
when he agreed readily.
A ND SO Lionel went back into the
wilderness shortly after the di
vorce was granted, and Cynthia, M
free and exultant, waited for Austin
to com$ to her.
He came at last and stood near
where she lay in a hammock. It
was night and she could not see his
face, < . .v
"Cynthia, darling, why did you do
it? I feel like a cad, breaking up
you and Lionel like that. He’s a
good sort and—well, I meant noth
ing by my attentions. It was all-
well, sort of fun.”
“But, darling, you do love me?
You do want to marry me?” Mis
givings chilled her heart,
Austin ran a finger under his
coHar. "Well, you see, Cyn
thia—yon see, 1 can’t, that is—
I’m already married!”
Cynthia nearly swooned. When
she again opened her eyes Austin
was gone, {she was alone. Panic
gripped her, then fear. Later she
thought of Lionel. She’d not known
how to appreciate him. She’d wait.
He’d be out of the bush again in
three weeks. He’d understand.
It was almost unbearable, that
waiting. The people of Woodsville
looked at her curiously and whis
pered among themselves. Three
weeks passed and Lionel didn't re
turn. Another week dragged by and
still no sign of him.
Then, at last, Lionel came back.
Cynthia, watching from the ver
anda of her rooming house, saw his
canoe sweep into sight, and her
heart leaped. Lionel at last! Lionel,
whom she’d loved and would Jove
again. Lionel who had loved her so
tenderly. Love like his didn’t die.
She had treated him miserably, but
she’d admit all that, ask his for
giveness.
And then the canoe neared the
shore and Cynthia went down to
meet it. Lionel saw her, and waved
a greeting.
Cynthia’s heart stopped beating.
There was someone else in the
canoe. A girl.
The canoe touched the shore.
Lionel grinned at her happily.
"Cynthia, it’s good to see you again.
Hope you add Austin are happy.”
He gestured toward the girl, who
had turned to stare. “Cynthia, meet
the new Mrs. Ainsley.”
It will always pay to watt
on til they "level off.”
Anyone will concede, we imagine,
that this is a hard thing to do, in
asmuch as a covey flush of quail
is unquestionably one of the most
exciting tilings that ever happens
to a sportsman. But, if you can
contain yourself, select your bird
and wait until he has topped his
rise, you’ll put more quail in the
game pocket ot,' that old hunting
coaLthan'you’ve ever done before
—that is, if you haven’t been fol
lowing such a system.
Veteran bird hunters will tell
you that quail will in 99 out of 100
cases, always "level off’ after
coming to the top of his rise, al
though this "leveling” process may
put idm in a curving horizontal
flight, that may take him up or
down from the initial trajectory.
However, by concentrating on the
one bird and waiting for that "lev
eling off,” the gunner will be in
much better position to make the
proper lead and trigger off at the
proper time.
That’s why "waiting until they
level off’ will pay big dividends
for the quail luinter.

Love Can Be
■ ■
Means of Escape
By Lawrence Gould
May love be an ‘‘escape from reality”?
It is essential that a spirit of co
operation, confidence, and apprecia
tion exist between the sportsmen
of any state and their Game and
Fish Department » ■ ,
The primary purpose of your
Game and Fish Department is to
produce as many ganfe animals,
fish, and game birds for the sports
men's hunting and fishing as is pos
sible under the present land use
policy. ' * *
In return the Department is in
debted to organized sportsmen’s
groups for their co-operation in
making suggestions for open and
closed seasons most advantageous
to the sportsmen ot the localities,
as well as for their support in se
curing passage of beneficial legis
lation for the protection and prop
agation of wildlife. The Wyoming
Game and Fish Department invites
the sportsmen of the state to inform
themselves to thfe greatest possible
extent relative to our activities
and to give us the benefit of their
assistance.
All sportsmen are the benefic
iaries of wildlife conservation ef
fort. Most often it is the city sports
men who reap the greatest benefit
It is they who have more time to
hunt and fish during the summer
and autumn seasons. They have no
investment other than the license
fee and the mon^y spent for hunting
and fishing equipment.
On the other hand, many people
in agricultural work have little
time for hunting and fishing, yet
they often sustain considerable loss
supporting game animals on their
own deeded land without remuner
ation for the feed consumed. They
are further inconvenienced many
times by thoughtless sportsmen
who leave dirty' camp grounds and
tom fences behind them, and in
other ways damage property.
Wildlife conservation must have
our common interest if it is to ben
efit our state and our people.

Line Floater
This may- ndt work on every fly-
line, but we’re passing it along for
what it’s worth: Plagued by a line
that kept sinking a short while
after we had dressed it, we stopped
fishing, dried the line with a hand
kerchief and, with it still partially
wet, dressed the six feet nearest
the leader.
Then, believe it or not, that sec
tion of the line floated perfectly
and kept up the belly of the line be
hind it
AAA
Answer: Yes. It may grow out of
unwillingness to face the fact that
you’ve lost something which you
cannot bear to admit is gone—your
hope of happy marriage, for exam
ple. I recently was told of a wife
whose husband had abused and
abandoned her in the most cold
blooded manner but who insists she
"still loves Mm.” Unless the poor
woman has a "martyr complex,”
her "love” must be a way of deny
ing that he feels about her as lie
obviously does. For you cannot real
ly love a person if you know be does
not and never will love you.
Do stout women tend to be
of one type?
Answer: Yes, reports J. Law
rence Angel in the American Jbur-
nal of Physical Anthropology, after
studying 103 obese white women
from the standpoint of their social
and racial backgrounds, body struc
ture, heredity, etc. They showed
pretty. uniformly such character
istics as a loveless childhood, and
a tendency to combine premature
physical development with emotion
al childishness. Further research is
planned to determine the compara
tive importance of heredity and
early conditioning in producing
varying personalities and physiques,
Is it normal to “hate to be
' hurried”?
Answer: It is natural to dislike
having other people tell you when
and how' to do things, but I think,
that this dislike has become uncon
sciously childish fury in the sort ot
person who "just can’t do any
thing” if he is asked to do in a
hurry or on a fixed schedule. Con
sciously he may be trying hard to
do what is,expected of him, but
deep down inside, his rage at the
idea of being “bossed” creates a
conflict which prevents his concen
trating, and allows him to defy the
"orders” without having to admit
that he’s rebelling.

Colitis Due to Emotional Imbalance
By Dr. James W. Barton
M ANY INDIVIDUALS suffering
from chronic diarrhea (colitis)
consult their physicians asking for
some safe medicine to stop it.
Diarrhea can have such a simple
cause as too much fruit and bulky
vegetables; it can also be due to
certain diseases such as dysentery,
cancer, an overactive thyroid gland
sending poisons into the blood,
tuberculosis, and disease of the
pancreatic gland.
Where there has been persistent
diarrhea for a long time, the physi
cian usually suggests a few days in
hospital, where X-rays of the stom
ach and intestines, examinations
of the cbntent of the stool, exam
ination of the blood and urine, a
barium enema and examination by
fluoroscope (X-ray) may reveal any
real or organic cause of the diar
rhea.
However, in mild persistent diar
rhea, the commonest single cause
is emotional disturbance. This is
called mucous colitis—mild infla-
mation, or more correctly irrita
tion, of the colon (large bowel).
In the severe type of colitis—-ulcer
ative colitis—there is ulceration
of the colon and formation of pqs,
and both pus and blood are found
in the stools. In some cases re
moval of a portion of the colon is
necessary to save life.
In the Proceedings of the Royal
Society of Medicine, England, Dr.
A. Abrams states that emotional
tension was connected with three-
fourths of all cases of chronic diar-
rhe'a.
As .cronic diarrhea is both a men
tal and physical hazard In itself
and can so undermine the patient’s
strength that he will have little re
sistance to disease, a persistent ef
fort on the part of the patient to
try to acquire a calmness of spirit
is necessary and this will be more
effective than quieting or astringent
drugs.
Calmness of spirit can be sought
by religion or philosophy, but com
plete physical examination is first
necessary to make sure that no
organic disease is present.
