1nereS something new on the
waterfront. Pier 4, handsome
new structure of brick, steel and
concrete, as graceful in its lines
as the bridges that span the new
highways, will be delivered by the
contractor tomorrow as complete.
It juts into Washington chan
mel from Maine avenue near N
street S.W. on a downstream angle
similar to the line drawn for park
ing cars at the curb.
It is the latest of a number
of improvements to the waterfront
that belle a dictum of modern
art. Utility is the basis of beauty,
say the moderns, but the water
front has improved in appearance
as its use as a port has fallen off.
What used to be called the
ragged edge of the capital is be-
coming one of the most beautiful
waterfronts in the world as it has
become more and more a yacht
basin.
willows Turn Green.
Across Washington channel the
willows on Hams Point are slowly
becoming green despite the damp
chill of the air. Green also are
the trees across the Potomac from
the park drive north of Memorial
Bridge.
Georgetown Channel and the
lower Anacostia still remain COM
mercial waterfronts but industry
in Washington is not of the ma
ture or size to take much from
the beauty of its rivers.
There was talk last year that
ocean-going ships might again
come to Washington. Inquiries
were made about possible use OF
the new pier by group who were
considering the possibility of es-
tablishing line to Bermuda from
Washington, which is one Of the
best sources of tourist business in
the Nation.
But the inquirers had no ship
and it all came to naught. The
new pier probably will be leased
to operators of excursion boats to
Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall.
Bay Line Extends.
Washington almost went out of
business altogether as a passenger
port two years ago when the
Norfolk & Washington Steamship
Co. went out of business. But the
Old Bay Line, which operates an
overnight run to Norfolk from
Baltimore. extended it's business
by placing one boat on the Po-
tomac.
But the yacht basins are
crowded with cabin cruisers and
the yacht brokers have new ones
high and dry on the Maine ave-
nue. lots at prices from $4,000 up.
About 80 boats along the wa
terfront have been used as living
quarters all winter by marine
minded Washingtonians. About
three times that number were
used as winter housing during the
last war. Soon there will be hum
dreds living there, many on boats

two long wood shots on the 10th at
West Seattle and then ratified his
third into the cup from about 30
yards out for an eagle. This hap
pened on a damp day in October
when the average golfer finds it
hard enough trying to reach the
green with the third wood shot.
On the same hole, In the Thanks

paratively short hitter, plunked his
fourth shot in from more than a
hundred yards away to bag birdie.
Thrilling shots all. However, these
were just few of the unusual that
are still registered in our mind.

the year, a shot which according

in his defense of the clubs oper
title. He Jagged far behind in the
race for the Golfer of the year
award.
Yet, for year in and year out
steady shotmaking, Sumio Nagama-
tsu is in a class by himself. There
may be some arguments as to who
the clubs No. man would be, but
the No. l spot indisputably belongs
to the redoubtable Nagamatsu.
Just cursory glance at the years
statistics will bear out this point.
In the Komon tournament in
June, Nagamatsu rewrote local Nisei
golfing history as follows:

score of the year and unofficially
the best score ever posted by any

OTHER sTANDOUTs

Although Nagamatsu's blistering
assaults on the records far eclipsed
the efforts of his fellow golfers,
there we're a few others whose per-
formances during 1850 are worthy of
mention. Thus:

non-essential cast of his golf GRO
MES.
Takagi had just laced out a
screaming drive la Jones, but he
was still a good hundred yards away
from the pin. Being quite method
ical player. he cautiously sized up
the situation, carefully selected an
iron, wound up and slammed into
the ball
Shoots Out at Angle
The ball took off like bullet, but
much too much to the right and
sped straight toward the gully as
Takagi's face turned to that OF utter
disgust and his lips muttered in
audible expressions conveying the
same feeling. In those fleeing Sec
onds Takagi would have been ready,
rather eager, to dispose OF his set
for the first bid offered, reasonable
or not.
Dame Luck must have sympathf-
zed with Takagi's plight. for the
ball, on a low trajectory, zoomed
against the curved wire fence and
ricocheted toward the green. Ia
kagi's face was lighting up as he
saw the ball cruise toward the flag,
and burst into a 1000-watt smile
as he saw it disappear into the tiny
hole.

of
Most assuredly. Takagi's shot was
not good shot, not by the SCrln-
gent standards set by Ye Ancient

fluke, as lucky shot as any golfer
will ever hope to see.
Takagi did not go on to set any
record, but that one shot will re-

information has been received to
the effect that the college stu
dents who had been ordered for
preinduction physical and for in
duction, and postponed until the
end of the academic year. would
be allowed to enlist in the ser
vice of their choice to the extent
of available openings in the re-

month of their academic year.
This policy is designed to i'm
plement the intent of Congress
to encourage students to con-
tinue college to the end of their
academic year, and at the same
time, preserve their right to in
dictate the service in which they
wish to serve.
The release announcing tn e
authority to reopen such cases
and thus reinstate the right to
enlist at that time emphasized
that no change in the obligation
OF students to serve was contem-
plated. 1t further pointed out that

opening of classifications would

Holmes Red Cross
Meets New Demands

The work in the Red Cross Of
flee here in Holmes County has
greatly Increased since the Korean
war and the increased mobiliza-
ton OF the armed forces, states
fanny E. Lumpkin, executive
secretary. Communications, al
lotment papers, social histories and
the varied types of calls that come
TO Red Cross over a 24-hour a
day period must be and have
been answered by your Red Cross
chapter during the last few mon
tbs.
"A late release gives startling
information about the work of the
Red Cross field directors in the
Korean area, she says. One of
the directors accompanied the
flrst American troops to Korea.
BY the end of July there were 80
OF these men in Korea and the
latest figure is 78. The field staff
works under difficult conditions
- often they had to carry sup
plies on their backs distances of
20 miles to get comfort items to
the units and hospitals. For many
soldiers, the Red Cross is the only
source of these items.
In Korea the hospital situation
is more than grim since dan
ger is added to the other diff
culties. AS of today there are four
hospitals operating there and Red
Cross has eight girls on duty. One
hospital was set up in a damaged
building with no water and no
electric lights except in the oper-
ating room. Doctors operated
steadily on 24-hour basis. In
one instance two Red Cross girls
had been on duty continuously for
% hours.
At General McArthur's request
| a Red Cross club in Pusan has
been opened with ten girls on
duty. The 9Th Army will not per-
init women in Korea unless they
are stationed where they work,
because of the constant danger
from guerillas. Probably addi-
tional clubs will be opened in
Korea.

What is to be done with the
trees that have been destroyed?
If the trees are gum or pine they
may be sold as pulpwood. The
pulpwood cutters will take your
tops and large limbs. Also sell
them your small trees that have
been broken in half. Large trees
should be sold as sawlogs. By
selling your damaged timber as
both pulpwood and sawlogs the
largest returns can be obtained
Sell only your badly damaged
trees. Do not sell every tree in
your woodlot Do not sell at re-
duced prices as your wood pro-
ducts are worth just as much as
before. Do not sell in lump sums
but sell by the cord, unit or thou
sand board feet. You do not have
to sell standing trees at once for
they will be merchantable for at
least six months. Do sell tops and
large limbs as soon as possible.
If you would like to have advice
managing your woodlot, call E.
