Uncle Ruy's Corner

In the course of history men have
made a number of statues large
enough to be called by the name
colossus" but the Colossus Of
Rhodes is most famous of all, with
the possible exception of the Statue
of Liberty in New York harbor.
In ancient times the Colossus Of
Rhodes was classed as one of the
Seven Wonders of the World. 1t
was the most gigantic statue known
up to that time.
The Colossus was built on tho
island Of Rhodes, beside the harbor
Of the chief city. The man who
planned it was Chares of Lindus,
and he spent years working on it.
Chares, of course, had many help
ers. He needed Workmen to mold
the bronze pieces and to fit them
together to make the statue.
The building of the statue started
2235 years ago, and was finished
in IL years. 1t was made in the
image OF Helios, the Greek sun god.
This god later carried the name Of
Apollo
Sad to say, the statue stood for
only Sc years before being shaken
down by an earthquake. During
that time it's fame spread far and
wide. Even after it fell to the
ground it was wonder to travellers.
Evening star., 1943-12-10

The broken parts had lain there
for close to 300 years when Roman
named Pliny visited the island.
Here, in short form, is the account
he left for us to read:
Most worthy of being admired
is the great statue Of the sun which
used to stand at Rhodes, and which
was no less than 70 cubits high (or
about los feetj. The statue was
thrown down by an earthquake.
Few men can put their arms
around the thumb of one of the
hands. The fingers are larger than
most statues. Where the limbs are
broken apart, great caves can be
seen inside. In those openings are
masses of rock which were used
to make the statue steady when it
was put up
In the year $50 the Arabs invaded
Rhodes and took over full control
Of the island. Seeing the big pieces
Of bronze lying near the main har-
Dor, they decided TO make some uss
of them. So they sold them to a
junk dealer. This dealer is said to
have used 900 camels in having the
pieces carried away. It is believed
that the bronze was melted down
and turned into weapons of war.

fond in the waters of the West In
dies and are common in the Bay
Of Fundy. At one time they were
abundant as far north as New York
ana not uncommon in Woods Hole,
Me. Today they are the common
fish OF the South.
Sheephead and soup are cousins.
Naturally there is a family resem-
blanace. The two have been mis-
taken Tor each other quite frequent
ly. Both possess body that is deep
and much depressed. There is one
long dorsal fin. The anal fin, with
3 spines and 10 to IL rays, is about
as long as the soft portion of the
dorsal under which it stands, and
both dorsal and anal fins may be
depressed in deep grooves. The pee
toral fins are long and pointed, the
Ventrals are placed slightly behind
them. The scales are large and the
eyes are located high on the sides
Of the head. All these agree with
the soup. However, the sheephead
IS easily recognized by the fact that
the caudal fin is not so deeply
emarglnate, and has rounded and
equal corners, instead Of unequal
points, while the dorsal spines are
alternately slender and stout. The
sheephead wears a gray livery with
seven broad dark crossbars; the soup
wears plain gray.
Though the sheephead is a salt
water fish, it is often found running
up fresh water rivers, especially the
st. Johns in Florida.
AS bottom feeders. sheephead hunt
close to the mud bottoms, where they
find crustaceans. mollusks and small
animals lowering about oyster beds
Spawning takes place in the In
dian River in February, extending
into April Adult sheephead reach a
length Of 30 inches and a weight of
20 pounds.

cation, told the concluding session of
the seventh annual Parent Teacher
Institute today.
The institute is sponsored by G..
w. U. and the District Congress of

Lack of supervision in homes
where both parents are working is a
contributing factor in juvenile de-
linquency, DR. Fox said.
He suggested that community
councils be established in each Sec
ton of the city to coordinate the
supervisory controls Of the home,
school and community activities to
insure better welfare of the chill
dren. Under the plan. he said.
youngsters would be members of the
council,
Milo Christensen, superintendent

ment, revealed that the department

resources and spend less time criti-
cizing those in charge Mr.. Chris

He said there were 10 round
Fairgrounds in the District and 81

The role of the church, in con-
tributing to the development of

The church contributes both di-
rectly and indirectly to the better

Protests at Meetino

National Capital Park and Plan
nlng Commission officials admitted
ruefully today they now have no
further intention to try remaining
principal business streets in WASH
ington-or any other streets-for the
time being.
We bowed to the will of the
majority" Secretary Thomas S. Set
tie said in explaining the commits
sion's quick "capitulation" yesterday
to the overpowering opposition blitz
that developed over its proposal to
change the names of certain por-
tions Of Fifteenth and Seventeenth
streets, lying south of K street NV,
to Vermont and Connecticut ave-
nues, respectively.
The opposition was spearheaded
by a committee representing the
District Bankers Association and
the Board of Trade. While they

the District Commissioner oppos-
IllS tllc SlldllSe III llSNISS.
The bankers and businessmen
whose spokesman was Bruce Baird.
president of the National SAVINGS
& Trust Co., represented property
valuation of Sl7,000,000 in Fifteenth
street alone. Every property owner
and businessman in the area af-
fected was opposed to remaining
the street, Mr.. Baird pointed out.
Aside from other inconveniences, he
said, the rechristening would affect
the addresses of LOO telephone sub
scribers.
The motion to rescind its previous
action merely stated: I'm view of
opposition expressed. the commission
withdraws its recommendation for
the proposed legislation" 1t would
have taken an act of Congress to
rename the two streets.
Mr. Settle said the matter wasn't
considered important enough to the
commission to make a fight over it.
Furthermore, Frederic A. Delano
former chairman and originator of
the proposal, agreed to abandon it
when he heard the District Commits
sioners had turned thumbs down.
1t was Mr.. Settle. Virginia
Democrat, who brought out the his
toric fact that the streets involved
had been named by none other than
Thomas jefferson.

yesterday when Secretary of State
Hull addressed a joint session of
Congress was Sergt. Edward William
Archer, 81, of the Australian Royal
Engineers, and the sergeant thought
Mr.. Hull rather didn't give any
information at all"
But for all that he made a good
impression on the capacity audience,
the veteran admitted. And the
place was packed-so full you
couldn't get pin in anywhere
Sergt. Archer, a veteran of the
World War and still carrying battle
scars from that conflict, is en- route
home to his dairy farm in Manjimup
West Australia, and hopes to be
there by Christmas. His outfit al
ready has moved on but he was left
off at Boston when wound in his
leg began acting up. He previously
had lost the third finger of his right
hand and is rather clipper about
it all.
Admires Gen. Montgomery.
The sergeant is a great admirer
of Gen. Sir Bernard Montgomery
the fourth commander under whom
he served in the earlier stages of
the see-saw battle for North Africa
He had personal conversation with
the general and was able to obtain
good observation of him.
Hes Bible-puncher, you know, u
he said, land the men call him all
the names they can lay their tongue
to, but they'll follow him anywhere
for all of that. He's quite small, no
bigger than a whippet, but he's
