WE NOMINATE
Hubert Newcombe Alyea, a rare "combination"
of scientist and humanitarian, who this past weeli
was singled out by the New Jersey Science Teacl)-
ers' Association as the second recipient of its Recog-
nition Award for Scientists — a signal honor for a
university professor whose enthusiasm for teaching,
and for chemistry, has stamped him as one of the
most inspiring Prmceton Teachers of his time. The
significance of (he award as a yardstick of an in-
dividual's achievements is mirrored in the fact that
a year ago, when the Association presented its cita-
tion for the first time, it turned to Rutgers' Selman
Waksman, the discoverer of streptomycin.
A resident of Princeton for some two decades,
this 47-year-old native of Clifton, N. J., who knew
he was a chemist when he was "in the eighth
grade," was selected by the Awards Committee not
only for his qualifications in laboratory and class-
room but also for his "'e.xtra-curricular activities.
Shortly after the Atomic Age was born over Hiro-
shima, and with public interest at fever-pitch, he
voluntarily began lecturing to interested laymen on
the chemistry of the A-Bomb, generally taking
"Atomic Energy: Weapon for Peace" as his subject.
He now estimates that during the past five years
he has appeared before more than 400 different
groups, scattered between Princeton and Honolulu,
and has addressed some 350,000 persons. In 1948-49,
PRINCETON'S M
while serving as Visiting Professor at the Univer-
sity of Hawaii, he flew 10,000 miles to give 56 talks
to 28,000 residents of the Territory of Hawaii. In his
lectures, with characteristic fortlirightness, and un-
like many natural scientists, he doesn't hesitate to
stress that Federal research funds should be made
available on a matching basis: one dollar for atomic
development, one for determining how atomic
energy can best be used in promoting world peace.
Alyea, a member of the Princeton Class of 1924,
took both of his advanced degrees here and, before
returning to the campus in 1930 as an instructor,
carried forward research projects in Sweden and
Germany. Possibly his patience and boundless
energy in perfecting teaching techniques, that have
made him a perennial "top man" with Princeton
undergraduates, are attributable to his successful
three-year battle with infantile paralysis after he
had won Phi Beta Kappa honors in jimior year.
During World War II he served governmental
agencies in this country and in the Pacific, in addi-
tion to playing a key role in civilian defense and di-
recting extension courses in industrial centers.
For blending the points of view of the scientist
and the humanist; for striving to provide scientific
and cultural opportunities for others; for broaden-
ing the base of his fellow men's understanding of
the world of today; he is our nominee for

Thanks -and A Reminder
I want to express my sincere appreciation to the
many Princetonians who were responsible for the
surprising— to me, at any rate— foct that I led the
county ticket in the November 7 election. I am indeed
grateful for your support.
I also want to remind you of one campaign
promise in particular: whenever you have a sugges-
tion or request dealing with county affairs, please let
me know. I plan to continue being YOUR represent-
ative.

iibove the various factors which
worked in invor of Congrossmnn
Charles R. Howell, il was apparent
t<ilIowing the vole totalling that
M'verat asppd-t of the campaign
weighed heavily against the Re-
j)ublicans. Chief among them was
thr decision of the G.O.P. County
Committee to resort to such tactics.

iind foctunlly incorrect, in an ef-
ff)il to unseat Mr. Howell. This
ronceptlon of fair play backfired
iiilo a Denjociatic victory of land-
slide proportions.
At the county level, only one
Republican won out over the mis-
management of hi.s party's cam-
pnign. County Clerk Albert H. Rees
being returned to offlcg as the re-
sult of popularity through many
years of service. Possibly, the best
barometer of public reaction to the
manner in which the G.O.P. sought
t(j elect its candidates is the fact
Thai Mr. Howell curried Princeton
borough, which gives n normal Re-
publican majority of 400 to 500
The eleclign was also notewor-
ihv in anoiher respect: it was the
lavt in which ihe voters will mark

quiiement that all counties exceed-

passed lost June in the 1950 census.
Once the simple instructions for
operating the machines are ab-
sorbed by the public, they will have
cmc major effect: returns will be in

It's New to Us
African Campaign Chair. We
don't know ju^^t why it's called that,
or whu planned what campaigns in "
it. Most of all we don't know how
they managed to drag themselves
out of it to carry on any campaign,
since it's the kind ,of chair that's
much too comfortable to get out of
once you're in! In addition to the
pleasure of sitting in it, the chair
has much to offer in the way of
looking at it, along strictly modern
lines.
The frame, made of rustproof
steel, is about as simple and as light
as a really sturdy chair frame could
be. A narrow strip of steel is twist-
ed to form legs, sides for the seat
and corners for the back, all in
graceful curving form.
The chair itself is nothing more
than a strong piece of canvas with
corner pockets that slide over the
frame in four salient spots. The
construction is so planned that the
canvas stays firmly put when it's
on the frame, slides off with one
gentle pull when you want to wash
As for the comfort of the cam-
paign chair— sitting in it can prob-
ably be better compared to lying in
a hammock than anything else we
can think of. When you look at it.
you have no conception of what it
feels like to sit in it; in fact, you
almost wonder how one does.
But in this case, sitting, not see-
ing, is believing. We know - — we
spent a whole evening ensconced in
one at a friend's apartment and.
thanks to the chair, stayed much
too long!
If you don't have a modern home,
or modern furniture, but still have
a yen for the chair, it is a perfect
porch or terrace chair. Rain can't
hurt the rustproof frame, and the
simplicity of removing the canvas
makes it ideal for outside use.
Tlie frame comes in white or
black, the chair itself in a galaxy
of interesting colors. Not tiie leas!

Toss-'n'-Tafk. Probably one of
the most novel things to hit Prince-
ton in some time, the Toss-'n'-Talk
at Better Mousetrap, 164 Nassau, is
also one of the newest. Described
as a boon to the hostess, it is cer-
tainly a conversation piece even if
not a necessity in this town where
there's usually no dearth of things
to talk about.

the Communications Workers of

mound many telephone buildings in

tiislocation of service.
Here in Princeton, only emer-
gency calls were aceepied. causing
inconvenience to thousands of per-
sons and loss of revenue to many
merchants whose ^olume of busi-

were withdrawn for action else-
