PEACETIME PARATROOPERS:
'U"'Students Fight Fires
By RUPERT CUTLER
Smokejumpers are paratroopers
of peace, fighting on the flaming
battle lines of forest fires.
Four students, Bob Spinde, '54
NR, Billy Buck, '54NR, Ed Heik-
kenen, '56NR, and Bob Clifford,
NR, spent their summer vacation
at this hazardous occupation.
* * *
WORKING FOR the U.S. For-
est Service; the four men made a
total of 50 jumps from high-fly-
ing tri-motor airplanes into the
remote and almost inaccessible
forests of the Rocky Mountains
and the Cascades of the Pacific
coast.
The smokejumping service
was organized in 1940 on an ex-
perimental basis. In 1947, men
began to be trained and station-
ed at five bases: Caves Junction,
Ore.; McCall, Idaho; Winthrop,
Wash.; Missoula, Mont.; and
Idaho City, Idaho.
Smokejumpers are dropped on
fires that are usually no larger
than 10 acres. However, Spinde,
working out of McCall, was on a
500-acre Mosquito Springs fire in
Idaho. For 13 days he was with-
Health Service
Report Made
Student health last month was'
reported to be good, and much the
same as for the month of Novem-
ber last year, according to a recent
Health Service report.
This year, general influenza in-
jections for all students on cam-
pus were discontinued, because
their value in past years was nev-
er conclusively decided.
Accidents this year appear to
be on the increase. A total of 4251
student injuries have been record-
ed since October.

out the luxuries of a toothbrush
or a change of socks.
BUCK, STATIONED at Caves
Junction, made three fire jumps
and Heikkenen and Clifford, bas-
ed at Idaho City, counted 15
jumps between them. The men
are flown into the fires but must
hike back to civilization when
they are sure the fire is out.
Smokejumpers help protect 20,-
000,000 acres of roadless moun-
tain forest where 70-90 per cent
of the fires are caused by light-
ning, in contrast to the national
total where 93 per cent of forest
fires are caused by man.
Prior to the organization of the
smokejumpers, as many as 300,000
forested acres burned a year.
Since their inception, the average
annual burn on the National For-
ests has been reduced to less than
7,000 acres.
Inalcik To Discuss
Turkey and Islam
"Turkey and Islam" will be the
topic of a lecture by Prof. Halil
Inalcik at 4:15 p.m. today in
Rackham Amphitheater.
Prof. Inalcik, originally an in-
structor of Ottoman history at the
University of Ankara, Ankara,
Turkey, is now teaching at Co-
lumbia University.
The lecture, sponsored by the
Department of Near Eastern Stu-
dies, is open to the public.
Exhibition
On Crime
Open Now
By SHIRLEY KLEIN
"POEM occasioned by the most
shocking and cruel murder . . .,"
reads the headline of a broadside
now on exhibit along with other
"Assortments of American Crime"
in the Clements Library.
Broadsides, single sheets of a
criminal's last words before exe-
cution or a confession of a mur-
derer, were put out by enterpris-
ing 'printers to make a few extra
dollars.
* * *
AN. EXAMPLE currently being
shown at the library concerns the
tragedy of a husband who killed
his family and then committed su-
icide in Connecticut in 1782. The
sheet is crudely illustrated with
six coffins and a skull and cross-
bones and a black "mourning bor-
der" runs about the sheet. "I re-
alize it isn't exactly appropos dur-
ing the Christmas season," How-
ard H. Peckham, director of the
Library, volunteered.
"However, I believe there is
some ground for optimism,"
Peckham commented. "For one
thing you will see no new type
of crime, and some old crimes
have passed out of existence--
piracy, witchcraft and aiding
fugitive slaves."
The assortment, on exhibit un-
til about March 1, also includes
the original letter sent by Bene-
dict Arnold to the British head-
quarters offering to surrender
WestPoint and his troops for 20,-
000 pounds of sterling. (That sum
would be worth about one-half
million dollars today.) The letter
is coded to a dictionary with num-
bers in series of threes. The first
number is the page in the dic-
tionary, the second the column
and the third the number of lines
from the top of the dictionary
page.
* * *
THE CONSTITUTION of a
county horse thief detecting so-
ciety, common well into the nine-
teenth century, is included in the
exhibit. The stealing of horses
was a serious crime on the fron-
tier where the animals were valu-
able.
Belief in witches caused the
practice of witchcraft to be con-
sidered a crime. The witchhunt
which hit New England in the
1690s was finally halted by Bos-
ton merchant, John Calef, in 1700.
"TRYALS of Several Witches
Lately Executed in New England"
are a part of the collection being
shown.

The Fund for the Advancement of

a program of Faculty Fellowships for
1954-55. These fellowships are available
in the Humanities, the Social Sciences,
and the Natural Sciences. They are in-
tended for candidates between the ages
of 30 and 45, who have been teaching
steadily for several years, and will pay
a grant approximately equivalent to
the salary of 'the recipient for the aca-
demic year plus certain necessary ex-
penses. The primary purpose of the
awards is to enable teachers to broaden
Stheir qualifications for teaching their
respective fields as part of a program of
liberal education. They are not intend-
ed to support private and individual re-
search projects except as these bear
directly on, or are subordinate to, the
effort to improve the candidate's teach-
ing. Each applicant will be asked to
submit a plan for the year, explaining
how it will increase his teaching effec-
tiveness.
The University is authorized to nom-
inate four candidates each of whom will
be eligible for reappointment to the
teaching staff ina1955-56. Because of
the small number of appointments, each
Department may propose not more than
one candidate. Departmental nominees
may secure application blanks at the
Office of the Graduate School. Since ap-
plications must be sent in to the Foun-
dation by January. 31, it is requested
that applications be filed in the Grad-
uate School Office not later than Jan-
uary 11 to permit time for review by
the Executive Board of the Graduate
School and nominations by the Uni-
versity.
The Ford Foundation, in keeping with
its policy of supporting activities
which may contribute to international
understanding, isinitiating a program
of scholarships and fellowships for

and East European areas.
The Foundation expects to make

Graduate Area Training Scholarships,
Pre - doctoral Area Research - Training
Scholarships, Pre-doctoral Area Re-
search-Training Fellowships, and Post-
doctoral Area Research-Training Fellow-
ships.
Awards will be available for study of
earlier periods, as well as of the modern
era. Awards will be made only to citi-
zens of the United States and aliens
permanently residing indthe Unied
States who can give evidence of their
intention to become citizens. Stipends
will be fixed according to individual
