First Boat Rides on Reservoir The first boat on t)e Creek taken week when the potential waters of Kettle Creek were impounded for the first time behind the bulwark of the new federal dam. Those were symbolic voyapes. They will be followed by many others, as the recreation potential of the permanent pool at the reservoir developed. following the completion of the dam itself.

Kettle Creek, already famed as A hunting and fishing paradise, will become a mecca for water sports as so that the recreational possibilities will become an almost year- round asset for the region. There is no doubt that the present period and the next year or two will constitute a time of transition and inconvenience. The people who have had to move out of the reservoir area, and who will surrender their former property this spring, have pone through an upheaval and put up with difficulties which everyone regrets. Their ultimate reward, liAwovor. will not be confined to the knowledge that they have helped protect the lower West Branch communities from future Hoods.

It will also include developments in their own area which will increase their own prosperity and economic welfare. Even those who are skeptical now, finding it hard to believe that recreational developments can make future tourist travel in that area more profitable than the past visits of hunters and anglers to boarding houses and cabins which have been moved from the reservoir area, will be converted in time. Seeing is believing, and what they will see in the next five or ten years will be a recreational development at Kettle Creek that -will be the equivalent of a new industry. Those first boat rides last week are just the beginning of the new era. The Dangers in the 'Peace Corps 7 "Young American? -who are sent abroad to "live with the people" and help them meet their problems of education, health and agricultural development through President Kennedy's new "Peace will face tests which many of them may not visualize fully.

Younjr people in such an organization have an enormous potential for pood; they also have an enormous potential for committing horrible and causing tremendous trouble. Unless they are chosen with care, and given a practical preparation for their responsibilities they can do more harm than good. If there is a real privileged class in this country it is our young people. Most of them have grown up in a period of unprecedented prosperity, during which they have had access to material pleasures and comforts which are unknown to the people of any underdeveloped society. They have had opportunities and freedoms unknown to the adults of such a society.

They have had, on the other hand, little experience the privations, the limitations and the discipline which circumscribe the lives of most people outside our own society of abundance. Experience in the delicate task of helping people in backward areas of the world, seeing how life is lived in such places, and comprehending the tremendous problems they face, can be most educational to young people who enlist in the Peace Corps. They will get their education at a heavy cost to the nation's prestige, however, unless they go into the task with humility as well as enthusiasm, sympathy as -well as idealism, and, above all; with appreciation for the human qualities of people who may live in a primitive but are sensitive of their dignity just the same. Not missionary zeal but diplomatic tact is the quality most required of young people who may join the. "Peace to help educate people of illiterate and underdeveloped countries.

They should have, too. the desire to learn as well as to teach. For, as their teachers of anthropology can them, college students can learn something from the tribal customs and the primitive societies of any remote corner of the earth, if they are genuinely open-minded, friendly and sympathetic.

"Dogs are far more dangerous than sharks. You are much more likely to-be bitten by a dog," To prove her point the intrepid Miss Joye, a glamorous brunette who doubles as a model and underwater stunt swimmer, hopes to become the first woman in history to hand-feed a ahark for a television, audience.

"So far as I know I'll not only be the first woman ever to try to hand-feed a shark the first woman ever to want to," she remarked blithely.

Judy, who has plunged to 130 and is one of the nation's few feminine welders on underwater salvage jobs, is full of facts and figures on shark lore. A big danger, she said, is that some of the seven million U.S. skin divers have taken to trying to hitchhike rides on the backs Items from the back files of The Express 70 Years E. T. GALLAGHEH.

WASHINGTON Charlie Men- wether, campaign manager for Gov. John Patterson of Alabama, now appointed director of the Export-Import Bank, got a thorough grilling by Senators Javits 'NY) and Proxmire (Wis'i during the hearings before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee. They were especially interested in his association with the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, Robert Shelton, who got a contract for worth of tires from the state of Alabama, through Meriwether's office, after the Klan worked for Patterson's election. The last senator to cross-examine Meriwether was one of the newest and the second lady in history to be elected to that body, Mrs. Maurine Neuberger of Oregon.

Very deftly and quietly she got dcwn to the question of whether a public relations man, with no banking experience, was really competent to handle the billions to be loaned by the Export-Import Bank. "Several things have been brought out to my interest." said Sen. Neuberger. "One is the frequent use by the witness of the expressions 'do not 'heard rumors. 1 'do not think 'was all through the questioning.

"At other places the nominee said he read something because it was about himself. A little bit later he said he did not always read things about himself Consequently," continued Mrs. Neuberger, "I wonder about the qualifications in some ways for the position to which you are seeking appointment. You do not even remember some of the things of the campaign of i960." Neuberscr used to bo a member of the Oregon Legislature, knows government, at the grass-roots level. With this background, continued her cross- examination of the man nomi- nated to one of the most impor- Meriwether: Well, of course.

that would assume that they all agreed. I do not know about that. Sen. Neuberger: Of course, all of the questioning today really purports to lead up to your ability to handle the $20,000 job as director of the Export-Import Bank. What do you conceive the role of this bank to be? Meriwether: The information I have concerning the bank is its prime interest is to facilitate American exports, and exports to the U.S.

Sen. Neuberger: The loans of the do they figure in connection with private investment abroad? Meriwether: Well, the law that I read that it was drawn under specifically said they were in no way to compete with private business, but facilitate and assist them. Sen. Neuberger: Have you ever heard of the National Advisory Council on International and Mone-. l-ary Funds? Meriwether: M'am, only in a general way.

Sen. Neuberger: Do you conceive of any relation between the bank and the U.S. technical assistance program? Meriwether: I could not say whether they would use the bank or not. I do not know. Lyndon Vs Dirksen Washington Whirl Sen.

Steve Young of Ohio has proposed a way to muzzle the admirals and generals who yearn to make warlike speeches. He says it's very simple. Just knock all speech writers and public relations men off the public payroll. Without speech writers, says Sen. Young, most admirals and generals would be speechless President Kennedy bawled out his press secretary, Pierre Salinger, for telling newsmen that White House servants had signed oaths promising not to write inside stories about the Kennedys.

The President didn't know the servants had been pressured to sign compulsory oaths, to which he's always been opposed. He wants the servants to respect his privacy, but wouldn't force them to sign anything Secretary of Labor Arthur Goldberg has expressed private misgivings over his part in settling the New York tugboat and flight engineers strikes. He fears he may have set a precedent which could force him to step into all lough strikes in the future Budget boss Dave Bell has persuaded the President to tone down the spending program to cure the recession. He argued that the economy is already recovering, therefore heavy government spending would have its impact too late. Instead their tails.

"ft has become a kind of sport with them. They have the idea sharks are tame," she said. "They're not tame, and they don't like having their tails tweaked. They can be provoked to attack." Few Shark Attacks But Judy pointed out that in 1959 only 10 unprovoked shark attacks, resulting in three deaths, had been recorded in American waters. The world total for the same year: 36 unprovoked attacks, 13 deatihs.

"Sharks always deserve the utmost respect," she said. "But they are basic-ally scavengers who prefer dead or dying game, and don't like to attack anything that will put up a real fight unless they are desperate." "They are extremely curious and will follow a skin diver for a whole day just to see what he is doing. They don't have much else to do," she said. "But if you ignore the shark, he'll usually ignore you." How to Scare a Shark What if he doesn't? Here are Miss Joye's tips to avoid troubles with sharks of all kinds: "Try to look as much like a human being and as little like a fish as possible. The shark doesn't really like the taste of people.

He prefers the taste of fish, which has been his diet for millions of years. "If he bites you, it is probably in error he has mistaken you for a fista. "Therefore avoid swimming in cloudy water where the visibility is low. "If a shark approaches too near, wave your arms and legs vigorously and yell.
