SJ Names Place To Honor Tlingit Woman, Tillie Paul What's in a name? Ask that question in Sitka, and 1 the answer often is Russian or military influence. Castle Hill, Governor's Walk, the Old Russian Blockhouse all those relate to the Russian days. And Emmonds House, Tilson House, the ACS where telegrams are sent those are left from the U.S. military era. But there's one place that can claim the name of a Tlingit.

woman Tillie Paul Manor on Jeff Davis Street on Sheldon Jackson College campus. If Tillie Paul could enter the two-story shake house that is her namesake, she would hear once again the sounds of children such as those to whom she taught the four Rs (religion the fourth R) during her years at the mission school. Tillie Paul adapted all her life to quick change. As the Russian rule was on the wane, she began her life in Victoria, B.C., daughter of a white man and a high-born Tlingit woman of Wrangell, her village after her mother died and to which Tillie returned at about age seven. Later, Amanda McFarland allowed Tillie to live in the home begun by that pioneer missionary woman for Wrangell girls.

In those days, Tillie witnessed fearful acts that included the firing upon a Native house by the U.S. Army to retaliate for the death of a white man. But all was not bad. Tillie quickly learned the ABCs, and arithmetic, and became a translator for the missionaries, standing beside them on Sunday to translate, assuring them that Tillie Paul she was' 'giving a good For 50 years she worked untiringly as an educator- missionary under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church. By the time she died in 1952 at age 90, sh? had been commissioned to serve as a missionary in Petersburg, Wrangell, Kake, Klukwan and Sheldon Jackson School.

She influenced countless young persons, many of whom went on to form the Alaska Native Brotherhood by using a sense of dignity (together with Roberts Rules of Order) she had instilled in them. Widowed young when her husband drowned, she reared three sons while continuing to teach, sometimes to act as school nurse as well as to run a dormitory where she kept any idle hands busy knitting. Eventually she remarried but kept working as a missionary. Her son William Paul (deceased) was the famed civil rights attorney. In 1922 Tillie, ATTENTION SEALASKA SHAREHOLDERS!

STEP UP SAFELY The National Safety Council reports some 30,000 to 40,000 Americans have disabling falls from ladders each year. Many are disabled for life. And 300 to 400 people are fatally injured. For those who have home repairs or painting on the agenda, it's a good idea to give some thought to the ladder and its use. A ladder used to gain access to a roof should extend three feet above the point of support to enable the user to have something to grip while working or climbing onto a roof.

It also allows a safety margin for a minor slip. More accidents are caused by ladders slipping and falling than anything else. If any kind of a ladder is placed near a doorway, the door should be locked so someone can't come barging through and knock the user into the injury statistics book. Don't reach out too far, jeopardizing your balance Instead, move the ladder. Never straddle space between the ladder and another object.

Finally, never use ladders in a high wind. This information has been brought to you as a public service by CORROON BLACK-DAWSON 219 Lincoln, Sitka. Phone 747-8625. The insurance buyer's buyer.

NEW YORK (AP An important step towards making a vaccine to fight infectious mononucleosis the so-called "kissing disease" among teenagers has been reported by a Harvard Medical School researcher. Scientists are anxious for such a vaccine because the virus which causes mononucleosis may also be the cause of two types of cancer. Dr. David Thoriey-Lawson of the Sidney Cancer Institute said Thursday he has purified a vaccine-like substance that makes rabbits produce antibodies against the virus that causes the disease, a lingering illness of teen-agers and young adults.

Thoriey-Lawson, a biochemist, said the rabbit antibodies neutralize the virus when it is grown in human ceils in a test tube. If further tests succeed, the substance would become a Native Corp.
