An encouraging this week is the quarterly report of sales collections for the quarter ended December 31.
 Although down a little from the first quarter which included the summer fishing season, the sec ond quarter shows collections of $777724 With the nearly S9.OO0 in the June-July-August quarter we find a six-month total of nearly S16000.
 The current quarter-January-Feb February March will be down considerable because this is the season of the year from business standpoint but with haIibut season coming up. the ApriI-May- June quarter will undoubtedly bring an increase in collections

Is Mi. Vernon Trees
Washington Planted
Are Still Standing

Sixteen of the trees that beau
tify Mount Vernon grounds were
planted by George Washington.
Few of the thousand of tourists
who visit the shrine each year
are aware of their existence but
the trees receive constant atten-
ton of groundkeepers. They are
all that remain of groves laid out
by the first president.
Robert V. Fisher, horticulturist
at Mount Vernon, said it has been
proved beyond doubt that the Is
trees are original"
Authenticity hinges on more
than age. In 1859 Benson J.
Losing wrote in a book: Il have
before me the original plan of
these grounds mount Vermont
made by Washington's own hands.
1t is very carefully drawn, the
exact position and name of every
tree to be planted are laid down. -
BY comparing remaining trees
with a map in the book, locations
of the originals were established.
The map also has been used in
replacing dead trees that died.
Washington diaries reveal the
personal interest he took in plant
ing at Mount Vernon. One ex-
cerpt tells how on his birthday in
1785 he selected some trees for
transplanting. Their planting was
delayed several days, first by bad
weather and then by guests. Many
of Mount Vernon's trees were
transplanted from other farms
Washington owned.
The 16 trees include two white
ash, one American elm. one hem
lock, four American hollies, two
honeylocusts, two Kentucky coffee
bean trees. one linden or lime, one
white mulberry and two poplars
There are no markers to show
they were planted by George
Washington. Mr.. Fisher said it
is felt this would ruin the au-
thentic appearance of the
grounds. 1t also might encourage
souvenir hunters.
But many of the original trees
can be recognized by lightning
rods erected in them for protec-
ton. Gables are used to strength
en- branches of some. All of the
historic trees are in the Mount
Vernon exhibition area-most of
them around the bowling green
near the west front of the man.

Mos Skipper Tells of Distrust
OF NAVIGATOR After Earlier Run
Felt utterly Alone
In Regard to Aid by
Officers, Inquiry Told
Blythe Associoted Press


NORFOLK, Va. Feb. 13.-The
skipper of the battleship Missouri
said today he felt he was utterly
alone as far as assistance from
my team of officers was concerned
the day the vessel ran aground.
Opening his defense before a
naval court of inquiry investigat-
ing the grounding of the battle
ship January II in Chesapeake
Bay. Capt. William D. Brown also
testified that:
l. He had developed a dis
trust of the navigator, 1t. Comdr
Frank G. Morris, because of the
latter's performance on a trial run
the ship made in December and
because Comdr. Morris made no
previous recommendations before
his "agitated' instructions'the day
the vessel grounded. 1t. Comdr.
Morris is the only defendant in
the inquiry who is not a graduate
Iof the Naval Academy.
2. He leaned heavily" on the
recommendations of his operations
officer, Comdr. John R. Millett,
because of his obviously more
level head and greater experience. -
3. He was plotting the ship
toward two shallow-water spar
buoys in the mistaken belief they
were part of the system marking
a secret electronic range the ship
was trying to run. The buoys, he
learned later. were not those he
had assumed them to be.
Before adjourning until Mon
day morning at the conclusion of
the shippers testimony under The
direct examination of his own
counsel, the court:
/. Withdrew and ordered
"struck from the records" an ex-
preston of doubt put forward last
week on the competence of En-
sign Elwin R. Harris, the Big

witness and as an officer.
2. Advised Ensign Harris, who
was plotting the Missouri's posi-
ton the day she grounded, that

would be continued so he might

Atomic Apothecary'
OF Acc Will Develop
New Medical Aids
by the Associated Press

OAK RIDGE, Tenn, Feb, 18.-
Federal officials made it clear to-
day that development of the new
hydrogen bomb will go forward
without sidetracking humane as
poets of the atoms power.
That fact stood out as the Gov
ernment officially opened the
worlds strangest drugstore and
chemical shop-an atomic apoth-
ecary"-which will turn out peace
time by-products of the A-bomb
for medical and other research.
Although production will be on
an assembly line basis" it will
deal with incredibly tiny amounts
of active atomic Ingredients
probably measured in ounces, at
the most, over a whole years pro-
duction time from thousands of
workers.
But, injected into solutions or
solid compounds. these atomic
materials will give out tremen-
dous radioactive wallop.
Today's occasion was a press
tour of a newly established proc
essing area for radioactive. isotopes
at the atomic energy commission S
Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Radioactive isotopes are the ray
emitting substances which the
Acc calls atomic energy's first
great gift to mankind"
These substances-produced with
the help of the same uranium
which could be used to bomb a
city-are valuable aids in medical,
biological. industrial and agricul-
tural research. They are hot
atoms" giving off millions of
atomic rays every second.
They are all valuable as tracer,
materials in research because the
signals" they emit allow scientists
to trace what happens to them in
the body, in growing plants and
IN various industrial and other
processes. Some are effective in
the direct treatment of certain
diseases In the same way that
radium and x-rays are.
Up to now, they have been pre-
pared for shipment to scientists
IN various parts of the world bv
rather crude. catch-as-catch-can
methods.
These have been rough impro-
vlsations necessitated by the fact
that this Oak Ridge plant in the
Tennessee hills was designed orig
lnally as the birthplace of a fear
some weapon. There were no spe-
clal facilities for handling isotope
materials on large scale.
But now. these radioactive
toundlings of war research have
been given a brand-new home of
their own "a special setup de.
signed to make their processing
faster, safer, more plentiful and
cheaper.
The new shop is wonderland
OF remote control devices, mirrors.
periscopes and protective shield
ing.
Among the remote control de-
vices are ingenious mechanisms

bottles, operated by a technician
who stands behind a shielding

All these aids are designed to
