Maroh 27, 1945. S/Sgt. A. @ Hulteen, Army Mail Clerk, A.P. 0. 495, c/o Palle, New York, N.Y. Dear George: Iwas delighted to have you letter dated Mareh 17th from “somewhere in India". This gambling situation is quite a ovihien, but I believe Wwe stirred the lions up enough to panne them best * es shout it. Mre. Hulteen told me eek her hamiue: mt 2. ‘heartily oon~ our in the necessity of doing such a thing when it is considered that two young lives are very important treasures to protect by proper teaching. It is going to take some mighty good teaching on the part of the oldsters to bring up the youngsters so that the world wAss be suave enough w live in, in the next two generations. I think you have done a swell job where you are, and I am sure that when things return te normaley and you ure back as one of ‘the citizens of Lawrence, you will have a much greater delight knowing all the disturbances that you have faced in the past three years. It will be good to see you dow at the Post Office again, as I imagine that is where you will expect to return. And another thing, swe - you are assured of a good job upon your return. I imagine your foreign service will mean not only a nice increase but an added something thet will cause you to walk more proudly dom ae a ever Thanks for your compliments regarding my work here in Lawrence. If I can do anything to make the return of the veterans more seoure end more happy, it will give me a lift. FT ean tell vein india Gink yall Winks waee ones get anyone to fill Mrs. Huiteen's position, but we kmew that. We have known that for a long time. But this job is not the most important thing in the scheme of your living. We will carry on, because we always have done | that heretofore, but I am very sure that it would have been a very, very diffioult thing during the strenuous war years had your good wife not been with us. I have told her that a number of times and I am sure by now she begins to believe it. We will miss her sorely, and it may take two er three to fill her place, but we will get the job done. : Another thanks fer the kind words regarding the basketball team. They were a swell bunch of boys and they fought their heads off. You will remember when Governor Moody was runing against Ma and Pa Ferguson dowvm in Texas, the slogan of the Moody supporters was, "When I think of Ma and Pa Ferguson, it makes me Moody". | So long, George, and good luck. We hope this fuss is over soon and that you can return after the Heinie debacle. & Sincerely, : 2 , Direotor of Physical Fduecation, POA: AH Varsity. Basketball Coach.

I was pretty proud of the boys in their efforts to give everything they had, but their best was not quite good enough. I domgine you feel after losing that 207 like I did when we were overwhelmed at Iowa State. But you cheer up, old partner, we will frame up on this guy Patton. I'll tell him those floors have got to be fixed up and get hin | down on all fours where he will develop a couple of “housemaid's kmees", and then you play him double or nothing. And one other idea. If I aan invent a uniform that will work to the detriment of Patton I will put it on him — - while he is doing this floor job. If I aan't help my ow ‘tean, I will help you. See you real soon.

CH THE TYRANNY OF TEMPERATURE J ppEornre his elaborate internal temperature- control mechanism, optimum temperature and humidity ranges exist for man, varying somewhat with activity and the type of clothing worn. For light work indoors, it appears that tem- peratures of from 65 to 70° Fahrenheit and rela- tive humidities of about 60 per cent at the lower temperature and 40 per cent at the higher give the greatest feeling of comfort and the best conditions for efficiency. When sleeping, somewhat lower temperatures are preferable provided some form of covering is used to maintain a temperature of about 80° F, next to the skin. The temperature- regulating mechanisms of the body are sufficiently flexible, however, so that in completely dry air indoors, human beings can tolerate temperatures —up to 112° when nude and up to 138° when clothed, } Clothing protects the body not only against cold, but also against heat, as desert dwellers have long | known. As the humidity at high temperatures rises and perspiration evaporates more slowly, clothing becomes decreasingly valuable. In saturated air at 88° F., the clothed body is unable to prevent its internal temperature from rising above normal, and a genuine fever results. For a nude body, the | corresponding limit is about 92°F. , adigirsts Jo he epi on At low temperatures the limit of toleration is vaguer, since it is greatly affected by clothing and physical activity ; but when the air inside the cloth- ing becomes too cool, just as when it becomes too warm, the body is so fully employed in the task of : keeping its internal temperature constant that there is little surplus of energy for any other activity. ‘Much effort has gone into the gathering of ob- v jective data by which the general level of civiliza- tion in various areas may be judged, and while it is easy to overestimate the effect of a given variable, it does seem that a good climate is an important aid, although not a guarantee, for a low average death rate, low infant mortality and high per- capita income. For example, tests of general cul- : ture have shown Washington, Oregon, California, s New York, Connecticut and: Massachusetts high on the list. Indeed, it has been suggested that de- velopment of heating means facilitated the spread of civilization to northern Europe in the Middle Ages. Similarly, modern air conditioning helps to & mitigate the situation of the tropics. oS is the department of a ds -* she substance on which it Lows. D. Estes, President F. Alden, Vice Pres. W.

IT have been out here since Dec.ll1, trying out on a job with this paper, but the grind is too severe, and I'm not going to stay.I may go back to Topeka for a while.I have not been quite settled since leaving the Topeka Journal, but eventually I'll fall into somethine Bhat suits me again.I have given them notice I wanted to leave them by Fet,18, or not later than Feb.25 at the latest. So I might be coming back to Kansas by that date, say around March 1. Mrs. Hobbs still is at our home in Topeka, and to keep from getting lorely with me gone she got some sort of a clerking job at Winter General a seems to enjoy it, but she misses having me come home evenings I am working. on some other newspaper jobs ,gncluding One or two in California.If you have no oS I would like to give you as reference on any sport jobs I apply for.You have watched my work for enough years you should be able to give a fair report on my work.1I'll be glad to hear whether this meéts your approval. Have been writing considerable sport here, including &@ column, which I called "Along the Sports Fwont", same one I used in Topeka. They have high schools here and in Slarkston, just across the Snake river in Washington, which I cover. sae they have North Idaho Teachers college here, but their sport is almost nil during the war.Moscow, seat of U.of Idaho, is just 50 miles north and WSC,Pullman, is only 35 miles.If I staid I suppose I would have a chance to see those schools in action when the war ends, but the paper is too old rashioned,does things pretty much the same way they did years ago.and the nours are 1é and 13 per day, which is too much for anyone.So I'll be leaving. I have not been able to get all the scores on the Big Six, so don't know what you and the others have been doing, but rest assured I'll be glad to hear any news about the region where I cut my sport-writing teeth, and where I feel I have lots of friends. If you keep hammering away, you eventually may get some results on the NCAA, Fhog. I don't know too much about that situation,but from what little I do know I always have felt you had a rather significant point. If you answer before Feb.18,1I1'11 still be here.after that I probably will be at 1511 Flass ave.,Topeka.
