Bermuda Population

HAMILTON, Bermuda - (P) -
Unofficial figures on Bermuda's
census completed last week show
an increase of 21 per cent in the
civilian population over 1889, when
the last census was taken. The 1850
census shows a total civilian pop
ulatiOn of 97,254, an increase Of s,
440 over the 1889 court.
The returns indicate a marked
trend toward population increases
in outlying parishes and a decrease
in the city of Hamilton. This is pre-

City Conveniences
Brought to Farms
In Past 10 Years

NEW YORK - Roadside ham,
burger stands are about the only log
cabins left in Americas farm areas
thanks to BODYBUILDING progress
of the past 10 years.
In 1910 the farm and small town
homes were far behind the city
house in comfort and convenience.
Today they differ in little but To-
cation, says a Tile Council of
America report on BODYBUILDING
trends.
If farm and small town dwelling
improvement in the next decade
equals that of the last, modern fea-
lures such as radiant heating. clay
tile bathrooms, and automatic tenn
p~erature control may be common
place on the farm, according to the
council. The 1940-50 decade, during
which farmers spend $1,000, 600, 900
on construction, was the greatest
era Of farm building and improve
ment in the nations history.
In, the past III years abou o5U,UUO
new rural homes were built, about
SOC, 900 got major repairs. and AGO.
600 old farm houses were eliminated.
The number of farms wired for
electricity was doubled, as was the
number with private bath and flush
toilet. Now seven out Of every ten
of these dwellings have electricity.
and nearly three out of 10 have
private baths and flush toilets.
Housewives are the beneficiaries
of these most recent home improve
ments. Conveniences such as cleo
trio dishwashers, kitchen walls Of
easy-to-clean materials and gas
ranges are making life easier for the
rural housekeeper.

China Red Invasion
OF. ParaceI Islands
Again Reported Near
By the Associated Press

HONG KONG, Sept. 1.-THE
long expected Chinese Commu-
mist invasion of the Paracel
Islands again was reported "im-
minent" today.
The Paracels are a group OF
about IL islands. some 200 miles
southeast of Hainan and $50
miles due east of Indo-China.
The invasion probably will CO.
incide. a press report said, with
an offensive by Communist Ho

Military Activity Noted.
A Canton dispatch to the inde-
pendent newspaper Sing Tao Jih
Pao said the invasion of the
Western, Eastern and Central
Paracels by troops under guerrilla
commander Feng Pal Chu was
imminent"
The paper, quoting information
from Hollow, capital of Hainan,
said "feverish military move
ments" have been noted in South
ern Hainan. This would indicate,
the paper added. an attack soon
against the Western Paraeels,
which lie only $50 nautical miles
southeast Of Yulin, Hainan's
major seaport and potential sub
marine base.

The attack, 1t was said. "prob-
ably will be timed with a large
scale offensive by forces Of Ho
Chi Mini in Indo- China, so as
to hold In check part of the
French forces in that country"
The Paracels are considered
something of a military vacuum,
although the Chinese National
lists are believed to have several
hundred Marines and six or seven
gunboats in the eastern portion of
the group. Nationalists withdrew
from most Of the islands last April
after the fall Of Hainan.

IT know bees" he insisted.
."All right, Henry" said Grandmother,
resignedly.
Henry always had his way.
He had it this time.
When he got up to the swarm, he
perched on the long ladder happily
enough.
The bees looked out and saw that
long white beard.
1t was never known whether they
thought it some new kind of flower, or
regarded it much as bull might
red flag.
To this day, so many years later,
Tenpleton Jones has no idea whether
the color of the beard had anything to
do with it.
The bees came out of their huddle
right square into the handsome flowing
beard of Grandfather Jones.
The old man let out great holler.
and came down as quickly as he could,
with his beard now all black and NOV
ing slightly.
After Grandmother Jones had used
the smoke gun for while, the old man
took on the semblance of humanity
again, but he had been stung scores of
times. Being of the tough Civil War
breed, he survived but nobody ever heard
him say anything more about bees.

This and That

No boy of the '80s or '90s failed to
claim the woodshed as his own.
The bee hives did not make much OF
hit, as he recalls.
No self-respecting boy fooled around
much with bees.
Bees were left to the older folks.
sometimes with sad results.
Grandfather Jones liked his bees.
He spent so much time with them
that he felt he knew them from A
to 2 and clear back to B.
One thing he would never do was
use smoke;
Nobody who understands bees" he
said, would smoke EN-"
Accordingly, when big swarm came
into the elm, Grandfather Jones said
he would handle it.
II think, said Grandmother Jones,
''you should use little smoke this
time. They look powerful bad"
Grandfather Jones laughed, and his
white beard wagged.
mo smoke" he said. II know bees"
But just knowing bees, Henry, amt
enough, sometimes. You have to protect
yourself, too"
At this, Grandfather Jones. who was
a stubborn man, threw off the mask
he had been prepared toNweaf.

In TITS he married and moved to Eli
colts Mills, town his father had built
10 miles west of Baltimore, now known
as Ellicott City. He was one of the
commissioners to run the line between
Virginia and Pennsylvania, an extension
of the Mason and Dixon'S line. During
the years 1796-1800 he made surveys
in East and West Florida, then Spanish
possessions. During 1911 and 1912 he
was busy surveying in North Carolina
and Georgia. These are just few ex-
amples of the work he did. Thomas
Jefferson offered him the post of Sur
veyor General of the United States, but
this offer was refused.
In 1913 Ellicott was appointed pro-
fessor of mathematics at West Point
Military Academy, and died there in
1920. He is buried in the cemetery
at West Point. Andrew Ellicott re-
sided in Lancaster, Pa, from October
1901 to November 1913, of which Lam
caster today is very proud. Earlier this
year the Lancaster County Historical
Society published a pamphlet by M.

colt, Surveyor of the Capital of Our
Nation" In October this society will
hold special ceremony in Andrew
Ellicott's honor. ....-- .

Templeton Jones is a stubborn man.
He says he comes by it honestly
enough.
His grandfather, he asserts, was one
of the most stubborn men in all the
world.
The old gentleman had a fine white
beard, in the ancient style. Although
a lawyer, he managed to do chores
around the house. In those days, one
had to, since there were few whose
services could be secured for hire.
1t was nothing for Jones grandfather
to paint his house, tend the lawn, mend
the fence, and milk the COWS, all in
one day.
It was as bee keeper, however, that
the old man shone.
At least, in his own eyes.
He had several hives, out by the
woodsned.
Templeton Jones thinks something
has gone out of life, with the disap-
pearance of the old-fashioned woodshed.
Other structures may have received
more publicity. in the nostalgia present.
but the woodshed was wonderful place,
with its musty, sawdust smell, its mix
ture of things to kick down and stuWble
ever.
