CAMPING PLANS

fMTS. II. II. T., Alexandria
We have spent all of our
summer vacations since 1947
camping in various parts of
the country and feel perhaps
we can be of some help in
answering your specific ques-
tionS.
Two tents on a single camp
site is not an unusual arrange
ment. 1 don't know of any
place where there is an OBJ
lection to more than one tent,
provided of course. that you
keep both tents well within
the bounds of the area as
signed to you. In some States
New York, Wisconsin, Cali
fornia. etc. the campSites are
sufficiently large for two or
more tents but those we have
seen in Virginia are rather
small by comparison.
A 9 by 9 wall tent will give
you more room than an UNI
brella tent of the same dimen-
sions. There is a distinct ad-
vantage IN having the sewn

of keeping clothing and bed

tent with a floor and one with

necessity. even if it is only

out to you the advantage of
a 3 burner stove over a 2

LIVING FENCE?
mrs. A. B. T., Falls Church.
I'd like comment on the rose
multifloral hedge or Giving
fence" as it is sometimes
called. Do the roots spread to
the point that it is objection
able? What about thornS?
There are small children on
both sides of where it may be
planted. We have one side of
our lot between so and rs feet
that needs "something"-a
hedge or fence. both for pri-
vacy and a boundary. Part of
this strip is in direct sunshine
and part is under oak trees.
The soil is clay that gets hard
as bricks in summertime. We
want something that requires
little or no upkeep. Any ad-
vice and suggestions will be
appreciated. 17 '-#

ROCHESTER. N. Y.
Il. S., Washington

For Mrs. L. H. p. Silver
Spring: We have lived in
Rochester. N. Y. for a num-
ber Of, years. It is a fair
sized industrial city. with it's
commercial section in the CEN
ter and best residential areas
on the outer rim. It is a city
OF many parks. several good
department stores in its down.
town shopping section. which
is concentrated in a fairly
small area. The city has an
only moderately good transit
system.
There Is a large foreign ele-
ment but also a large per-
centage Of well-educated fam
lilies, since much of its indus
try Is Of q chronological nature.
The University of Rochester
boasts q very fine medical
school as well as the Eastman
School Of Music. For this rea-
son, the very best in medical
care is available. The excel
lent medical center connected
with the school attracts the
finest Of doctors. The musical
entertainment offered during
much Of the year is above av-
erage for a city of it's size.
There is a good symphony or
cheStra supported by the city
South of the city. there is
lovely rolling country, fine
farmlands and fruit country
on all sides-and, of course,
Lake Ontario on it's north
ern boundary. Its biggest
drawback is its climate,
which is generally wet. Spring
is its most unpleasant season,
being cold, rainy and long.
Summer may well be hot and
sticky in spells. Fall usually is
the best time of the year. Win
ters may be very dark, with
either rain or snow and very
little sun. Cellars are often wet,
especially in the northern part
OF town near the lake. Housing
is far less expensive, both as
to renting and buying, than in
Washington. Food and clothes
are about the same.
FURNITURE.
mrs. J. L., WGShin0ton)
Most designers agree that
light and dark furniture can
be tastefully combined. Don't
compromise quality in order to
furnish your whole house at
once. Buy one good piece at
a time and mix it with the old
pieces. Try to buy stock that
can be matched at any time.
The most important thing no
matter the color, or style is
quality. good workmanship
and good finish. You are safe
with a good trademark in fur
niture as with other merchan-
disc.
I am sold on light-colored
furniture having used both
and combined them. 1t def
nitely does not show dust and
scratches as the dark does.
I would suggest that you check
carefully the new things they
are doing these days with oak
wonderful for hard wear)
light maple and ash. I think
an in between the all out mod
ern and contemporary is more
lasting but it is matter of
taste. There are so many
cheap pieces on the market
under the guise of modern
that you do have to be care
full. Haunt the furniture
stores and look. look, look, be-
fore finally deciding.

BoUcH's CANDIDACY

D G CANDIDACY
The withdrawal Of DR.. Ain
20 Moron as a candidate for
the position Of Govern of the
Virgin Islands, and Governor
de Castro's "irrevocable" de-
cision to retire from public
life leave James A. Bough as
the foremost native aspirant.
In 1949, following the resig-
nation of Judge HASTE as the
islands chief executive, Mr..
Bough also made a vigorous
bid for the Office but lost out.
Whether his chances will be
better now remain to be seen.
None of Mr.. Bough's critics
will deny that he is a highly
capable man, whose training
a n d experience eminently
qualify him for the Office of
governor of these islands. AS
the islands first native Dis
trict Attorney, he set a mark
for competence and skill that
has not been equalled by any
incumbent, before or since.
Unfortunately, however, he
paid little attention to public
relations during the course of
his career, and thus missed
the opportunity to become the
public idol which by reason Of
his ability and strength OF
character he could easily have
become.
In this race for a successor
to Mr.. de Castro there is a
strong group that is exerting
pressure to take the leadership
of the islands out of native
hands and to institute policies
calculated to check the peo-
pies desire for greater self
government. Even those per-
sons who do not like Mr..
"
The man with the pun is
miqhtier than the man who gets
pulled.
, 1953-04-29

Bough personally would pre-
fer to see him as governor
than to see as Governor, a car
petbagger or tool of selfish
interests which are deter
mined to turn back the clock.
Those Of us who want to see
the people Of these islands
maintain the right to chart
their own destiny and to con-
tinue the march toward great
er autonomy see in Bough as
the only remaining hope for
continuing that trend now
that de Castro and Moron are
not available.

record against it's promises de-
spite desperate attempts to di-
vert attention from the real
issues" Stephen Mitchell said
last night.
The Democratic national
chairman quoted his Republican
counterpart, Leonard Hall, as
saying communism would be the
issue in the 1854 election and
asked this question:
Does Mr.. Hall mean that the
Republicans are against COM
muniSm but we are in favor
of it?"
"If communism were truly an
issue between the two parties
then somebody would have to
be in favor of it and somebody
against it," Mr.. Mitchell told a
dinner meeting of Kansas Dem
ocratS.
Mr.. Mitchell said the Harry
Dexter White case controversy
was a political diversion" to
cover up what he called the
