FILIPINO ALUMS SEND
GIFT TO ALMA MATER

Filipino alumni of the University
of Washington who are in the
Philippines once more demon
strated their interest in their alma
mater when they ordered bust
of George Washington and sent it
as a gift to the university of a
thousand years.
The gift was presented to Dr.
r. Allen, president of the univar-
sity, by Pedro G. Ramirez, consul
of the Philippines in Seattle, on
June 8 in behalf of the Filipino
alumni in the Philippines.
witnessing the presentation
were officials of the University OF
Washington Alumni Association,
and some Filipino graduates of the
university who are still in this city
in addition to representatives Of
the Philippine consulate in Seattle.
In accepting the gift, DR.. Allen
said, "This reminds us that the
University is not only national but
international. 1t also reminds us of
the loyalty of our alumni through
out the world"
The statue was carved by G. Ne
pomuceno, foremost wood carver
in the Philippines. The hardwood
from which it was carved came
from wood piling dredged out of
the harbor at Mindanao and driven
by the Spaniards before George
Washington was born. The wood
is estimated, to be 800 years old.

THE JOKE about the
l. school teacher asking
where George Washington
was born and being told by
the pupil, AT George WASH
ington's Birthplace" has al
ready grown hoary, but it is
nonetheless true. The name
of Wakefield, Va, has been
changed officially to the
George Washington Birth
place National Monument. Its
site Is on a bend in the Po-
tomac River, directly across
from Cotton and River
Springs, Md.
1t is usually coupled with
Stratford, birthplace of Rob-
ert E. Lee, when it comes to ar,
ranging for a tour to that his
toric locale. Some of the most
important battleflelds where
Lees armies saw action in the
War Between the States are
located approximately 80
miles west of Stratford, along
Virginia highway 3.
Our start from Washington
is made over either the Mount
Vernon Parkway or U. S. l.
past Fort Belvoir where. on
its 10th anniversary, the AAA
School Safety Patrol Officers
Training Camp will be located
this year, and into Pohick
Church. This was the parish
church of Mount Vernon, and
Washington served on its
building committee.
Driving southwest through
Dumfries, Stafford and Fall
mouth, we enter Fredericks-
burg, one of the most historic
small cities in the Nation.
This quiet community, seat of
Mary Washington College of
the University of Virginia,
was, on December Is, 1862,
the scene of the Battle of
Fredericksburg. in which Fed
eral and Confederate casual
ties amounted to some $4,000
men.

Bill Rodman could pretend to call home.
He sat down in his red leather armchair and
thought about the Willy Rodman he had been
for nineteen years. 1t must have been some
time during the winter Of 1943, in England,
that Willy had disappeared and Bill stepped
into his shoes. They had been CT shoes, like
thousands of others, and Willy had been an
other CT transposed from Middle Western
farm into the Army,
Bill, for some reason which had puzzled
Willy at the time, was not in the least Gov
ernment Issue. From the very beginning, the
right people. the V.LP.'s had recognized that,
had liked and cultivated him.
He grew considerably in Paris - he was
first lieutenant, by then, since even in the
Army. the right people were interested in
him and he learned things about food and
art and people which he would never have

like thrift and industry and an attitude
toward life. Things like farm.
All week. the memory of the Hannaford
farm clung to him like burr. BY Friday
afternoon, he had almost convinced himself
that it could not be as desirable as he re1nem-
bered it.
At quarter before five, Alex popped his
head around the door of Bills Office.
Sal just phoned and said to bring you out
If ] had to slug you" he announced.
Okay," said Bill. He could take another
look at the Hannaford place
The plowed earth was as rich as he reanen-
bered; the shade trees in the pastures and
about the white house reminded him of Iowa.
He had not forgotten how fruit blossoms
smell or how rewarding the sight of rows of
young vegetables can be to man.
Its good farm" Sam Hannaford told
Bill with a little more capital than have,
it could be better one. You can take maybe
three, four thousand year out of it, as it
stands" He looked straight at Bill. Work

His roadster was parked outside the Kings
fon-car garage, and Bill tossed his suitcase
in the back
I'm sorry" he told Sally, inadequately.
She was pouting; Alex looked puzzled.
Bill stepped on the starter. He really was
sorry to walk out but he couldn't help it.
The shock of his discovery still stung. A man

flies as he drove over the Pulaski Skyway.
That was Willy, again. Bill Rodman had
not seen nor thought of fireflies in years. He
left his car at the garage and walked three
blocks to the converted brownstone house on
Murray Hill where he had an apartment. The
automatic elevator took him to the top floor,
and he unlocked his door and went into the

She looked back at him. Its pretty late,
and have to be at work in the morning. .
IL So do l." said Bill There are several
decent restaurants in the neighborhood. You
can be home in an hour"
Her eyes remained on his face for an in
stant. As matter of fact, all have in the
house is coffee and cat food" she admitted.
III 60 and get dressed"
SEATED across table from her in one Of the
small expensive French restaurants near by,
Bill studied his new neighbor. She had
changed to black dress with wide gold belt.
She had necklace of flexible gold about her
throat and elbow-length suede gloves the
color Of her tawny hair.
What work do you have to be at in the
morning." he asked.
Il design children's clothes, - she said.
Bill grinned, remembering the clothes which
he and Ruth had worn on the farm do you
like children?" he asked.
Her eyes were amused. 1T isn't essential
to my work. she replied. "Why?"
I'm just back from week end in the
country where there were four children
Is that why you came home this after
noon" she asked.
Not exactly > said Bill. He thought Of the Z
four King children. Nancy who was Alexis
daughter by his first wife, Billy his SON by the
second, Sally's Tim. and Betsy, the two-year-
old whose parents were, for the time being.

Charlotte Curriers' eyes remained on his
face, amused and family curious. They
walked back through the warm spring
night.
Thank you, MIR. Rodman, said Charlotte.

reached Italy. It was in Rome that he met
Alex King and promised to look him up in
New York, when. as, or if. the war was over. !.
Now, in New York, in May of 194o, some
one was knocking on his door. Bill = or was
he Willy now? = got up from the red leather
armchair and opened it. A young woman
whom he had never seen in his life stood out
side. She was wearing lounging pajamas of a
leopard-print and gold sandals: her hair and
eyes were the color of old amber.
I'm sorry to bother you, - she said. breath
lessly. Il guess must have blown fuse in
my apartment. I plugged in my electric iron
and something went spt-t-t and all my lights
went out
"Such things happen said Bill. Want
me to take look?"
She had obviously just moved into the rear
apartment. The living room was Uttered with
suitcases and packing boxes. and Bill picked
his way through them and went into the
htchenette. The fuse box. like his own, was
above the refrigerator. He found the burned
out fuse and replaced it with one from his
apartment.
LET'S see the iron," he said. She watched
while he severed the frayed ends of the cord
and replaced them in the plug.
I'm an idiot about electricity" she told
him. "All know is that it can kill you, and
don't want to die yet" She smiled. 'I'm
very grateful to you
You're very welcome" said Bill. He
turned toward the door, and large smoke
colored cat leaped from chair and rubbed
against his legs.
The girl picked him up.

Clothes catering to the college
girl, are being shown in the shops
and hold the spotlight this month.
Suits seem to have longer jackets
and roll collars are seen as we'll as
lapels and double-breasted num-

Tweeds are good for all occa-
sions excepting dress affairs. Velvet
touches on some of the higher pric-

Very nice, too, with velvet hat.
Drapery is popular and a peg top

some designers.
Hats are small and close-fitting.

COLOR PANORAMA
BEGINNING
in MOUNTAINS

Asheville, N. C.-Reports from
forest rangers and motor tour drlv-
ers that the first tinge of color has
been sighted along the highest peaks
of the surrounding mountains in
dicates that the brilliant panorama
of the Great Smokes and Blue
Ridge ranges will soon start its. an
nual march.
Just as spring creeps up the
mountains every year, u m n
crawls down the slopes-making it
possible to view the season in var
ious stages while on single motor
trip. AS for colors- leaves of
the hickories, catalpas, sycamore,
poplar, and willow oakc will turn
rusty green or pure yellow.
Black walnuts, redbuds, shadbush,
mulberries, and wild black cherries
are bright golden yellow. Many of
the oaks show brown, purple, red
dish brown, or bronze tints in var
ious shades and combinations.
But the glory that is truly au-
tumn in these southern mountains
in the vivid scarlet of the plentiful
dogwoods, sourwoods, the black
gums, the sassafras, and the orange
yellow and crimson of the red
naples. Mixed in among the ever
greens of pine and balsam the col
ors take on a brilliance that cannot
be duplicated in the mountains of
needle-leaved trees found in north
ern America and west of the Mis-
sissippi.
By the middle of September the
color parade will be off to roar
ing start, reaching an overall
color peak in mid-October with the
latter turning oaks and beech con-
tinuing the peak in November. Each
fall as the panorama approaches it
brings to Western North Carolina
an army Of sightseers for the ''leaf"
season. Many resorts will remain
open and summer rates are usually
reduced from 10 to rs per cent.

Egg Production

"Winterize" your poultry

tions to winterize the farm trac-
tor and family auto, d. d. Moy-
er, extension poultry specialist
at Ohio State University, this
week urged Ohio poultrymen to
prepare their poultry flocks for
winter weather.
Maximum egg production,
which spells the difference be-
tween profit and loss in many
flocks, depends, he says, on do
ing at least the following:
House young pullets separate
ly from old hens.
Thoroughly disinfect and clean
the poultry house before moving
the birds in.
Use grain straw, shavings or
sawdust for floor litter.
Prepare the laying house so
it can be closed easily when cold
windy weather strikes.
Treat the house for mites.
Kill the lice. Every bird needs
Individual attention.
Provide sufficient nests.
Furnish ample feeders and

Allow TO inches of roosting
space per hen.
