BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington, Nov. 26 - CUP)- Gather round the stove, friends, and we'll look into the old Farmers Almanac, hot from the press with news of the big snows that are about to engulf us.
 For 154 years now, except when the wartime censors wouldn't allow weather predictions, the yellow backed almanac has been putting out information about the moon, the tides, why to leave the corners of your pastures bushy, and when to get out the snow shove. Nay complaint in all those years, writes publisher Robb Sangendorph of Dublin, N. H.
 With no further introduction, let us take a preview of 1946, with some good advice thrown in:
 JANUARY: Cold and snowy on New Years and for week tnere- after. There's no sense in selling your milk wholesale and buying your grain retail. A thaw on the 21st, but bundle up well on the 27th.
 FEBRUARY: This is the time .ot the deep snows; the weatherll be particularly bad on the goth. If you get showed in and neighbor digs you out don't forget to give him little something bracing from the bottle benind the clock. More storms are coming.
 MARCH: time to wade through the seed catalogues and put in your orders. Heavy rains until the ninth; then snow for couple of days. Wood cut now will be dried for next winter. Mth: Floods and tornadoes in the South. Mud and haste make waste.
 APRIL: Uncover root plants; hoop and rail your berry bushes; mulch strawberry beds. Clear and cooler until the fifth; rain on the 10th; rivers are whitening on the 18th. With one foot on the thresh- old of spring and one at the back door of winter, April hangs uncer- tain which way to fall and it's never what it's cracked up to be.
 MAY: First to fifth, changeable. Many find pleasure in chewing the tWigs of black birch and sassafras. 14th, esterly storms and then some unsettled days. The violet as salad delicacy has it's advocates,
 JUNE: This is the month of young love and young leaves; look for trouble on both. First through

 Whitey Ford, the Duke of Pa ducah on NBC's Grand Ole Opry,' recently enjoyed two weeks visit in the home of his gag writer, Dave Murray, just released from Uncle Sans Army. Whitey showed his friend around the house, and came to his own young arsenal, number of sporting scatter-guns and rifles. Whitey soon found himself clean ing each piece, a la army. His friend had been Corporal, and not gun passed inspection.

 SEPTEMBER: 18th through 18th: Expect anything from hurricanes to nice mild weather. Now will the porcupines take their i'll of the rip ening apples and the deer munch the fine green beans.

 OCTOBER: First through eighth: Keep your umbrella handy. Pota- toes should now be dug. Expect a good storm on the 20th. Have in mind that game birds like bushy corners and save them what you can

NOVEMBER: Fifth through tenth: Snow fiurries. No blowing Some real snow. Quarter of lem on squeezed into coffee cup removes sleeplessness.
 December: First: Cold and windy; 18th: Gales now and much colder; 23rd: sleet, some rain or snow, then cold. As the hard bitterness of cold descends the heart should warm to home fires. Don't tinker with the clocks.
 Or, as the publisher remarks, 1946 looks like one of the snowiest, raini- est years yet Good for Eskima7 and ducks.

Play Area Segregation
Policy Adopted, 5 10 7
By Recreation Board

The District Recreation Board has
adopted policy of segregation on
its Fairgrounds, the action following
the startling" discovery Yesterday
that the segrega ton bylaws, dis
cussed exhaustively for the last
three months. actually had been
void because of the failure of Harry
S. Wender, the chairman, to vote
for them.
The board officially adopted the
bylaws by vote of five to two yes
terday. Under the mistaken i'm
preston that the bylaws already
were legal, the board held 3-hour
public hearing last month to collect
testimony from citizens objecting to
putting into law segregation that
had been practiced on the play
grounds for years.
The board first voted down by
to a motion by Mrs. Alice Hunter,
colored member, that the material
presented in the hearings be stud
fed in committee. James E. Schwab,
Bylaws Committee chairman, stated
that most of the board members
had heard the testimony and also
had read the transcript of it later.
Both Mr.. Schwab and Mr.. Wender
said the segregation bylaws might
not be" the permanent solution of
the racial problem on Fairgrounds
but that for the present they were
the best We can do"
Mr.. Wender said he was startled
to discover the much discussed by
laws never had been adopted le-
gally. His motion to adopt them
was approved by C. Melvin Sharpe,
Mrs. George Garrett, Mr.. Schwab
and himself.
Those voting against 1t were Mrs.
Hunter and Irving c. Root, Interior
Department representative who has
repeatedly warned the board that
segregation cannot be practiced on
grounds the Interior Department
controls.
Mr.. Wender said he discovered
the rules of the board called for a
majority vote for adoption of by
laws. When segregation first was
voted on June r. Mr.. Wender said
he intended" to vote in the affirm
ative. but failed to do so. The vote,
therefore, was only to 2. not a
majority of the seven members.
The segregation issue still is not
closed, however. The boards BY
laws Committee took under advise
ment yesterday an amendment by
Mrs. Hunter that any member of
a community may use public play
ground if he so desires. Her amend
ment is intended, she said yesterday,
to give white children the right to
play tennis on courts for colored
