Miss Irene Lowe
Resigns from VICORP
To Become Bride

Miss Irene Lowe, Admins
trative Assistant to the Pre-
sident Of the Virgin Islands
Corporation, resigned h e r
position effective July 81, to
become the bride Of Harry K.
Armstrong, Of the locally fa-
nous Armstrong Brothers.
Miss Lowe was honored yes
terday by the staff who had
worked with her over the
past years. Immediately after
Office hours they all assem-
bled on the porch of the

silver tray, from the en-
ployees at Golden Grove;

George Nielsen. The
Dragon" Attracts
Ldrge Audience

LQT90 AuQlGuC9
George Nielsen, known as
"The Dragon attracted a
large audience to the wharf
area Of Christiansted last
night to listen to his spicy
lecture. The whole area was
filed with cars from both
towns.
Despite intermittent showers
few persons, if any, left until
he was finished his talk and
his usual dance" which he
does to e ntertain his
audience.
Mr.. Nielsen dashed out at
the Governor, the Council
men, and the prisoners at the
Richmond Penitentiary: He
bitterly criticized the Chief
Executive for his blunt re-
fusal to ask for additional
deficit appropriation for Saint
Croix. He cited the fact that
when Vicorp's budget was cut
they made representation and
got many items restored; he
indicated that if the Cover
nor had even tried or shown
some sympathetic understand
ing Of st. Croix's plight, it
would have been understand
able. But, he pointed out, he
is not answerable to anyone
but Washington.
The speaker ridiculed the
local Republican party which,
he said, has no prestige at all
SO much so that they ignored
them on the governorship.
He then attacked the Coun-
cilmen for the waste of tax
payers money. At the same
time he pointed out that al
though the budget calls for 80
officers on the Police force,
there were only %; ten in
Frederiksted. The pay Of $110
will never de, he said, be-
cause you cannot go into the
canefelds and take a man to
be a policemen. We need men
with intelligence. The local
courts did not escape Mr..
Nielsen. He warned against
discrimination and cited as an
example filming a native ten
dollars but if it's a continen-
tai it would be two dollars.

St. Lawrence Project
Spurred by Decision
OF FPC Examiner
By the Associated Press

An initial decision by Federal
Power Commission examiner
gave fresh lift today to New
York States hopes that it may
soon join with Canada in con-
struction of a huge st. Lawrence
River power project.
Examiner Glen r. Law, in a
decision that Is subject to review
by the commission, directed yes
terday that the power authority
of New York be granted a So
year license to build the Ameri-
can half of the estimated $500
million project, to share equally
in the estimated 12-billion-kilo-
watt-hour annual output.
The Canadian phase Of the
Joint undertaking, in the rivers
International Rapids section,
would be carried out by the On
tario Hydroelectric Commission.
Obstacles to Construction.
But, before actual construction
begins, opponent-initiated OBJ
stacles may have to be overcome.
Parties in the case have 20
days in which to file exceptions
to Mr.. Laws intermediate deci-
sion, then 10 days to object to
an FPC ruling.
Even afterward opponents
could petition the courts to re-
verse the FPC action. Coal in
terests have indicated they will
attempt such action.
Mr., Laws decision was in full
accord with the wishes of Presi-
dent EisenhoWer's administra-
ton. The White House an
nounced last week that approval
Of the New York project was a
necessary preliminary to any
thing that might be done on

Glenn Dale AzoIeos
Crossed Strains Of Proved Species Give
The Planter q Wide Choice in Snowy Blooms
By W. H. Younemon
Corden Editor

azalea petal blight is in the
South and it is difficult to tell
whether or not a plant from
there is free of this disease.
which ruins the bloom.
AZaleas are shallow-rooted,
hence. they should not be culti-
vated. The best treatment is
to keep them mulched-compost,
ground corncobs. sawdust, tam
bark. ETC.. may be used for this
purpose. In the winter, leaves
may be allowed to drift in
around the plants but should
not be allowed to pack down.
Brush spread over the bed will
prevent the packing.
If the gardener feels that his
azaleas are not growing rapidly
enough he can fertilize them
in the early spring-use an or
ganic fertilizer. Early applica-
tlonS are needed so that the
plants will make their growth
and have ample time for the
wood to mature before cold
weather in the fall. Well-ripen-
ed wood seldom suffers winter
injury, but unripe wood of any
azalea, Glenn Dale, Kurume, spe-
cies. ETC.. is likely to be injured
by an early freeze.
Seldom Need Pruning.
Azaleas, if properly pinched
while small, seldom need to be
pruned. However. should they
be leggy or poorly shaped, they
may be pruned in late May or
early June following the flower
ing period. Pruning at other sea-
sons reduces the floral display.
Azaleas are frequently troubled
by the red spider mite and the
azalea lace fly. Both of these
pests may be controlled with a
strong blast of cold water from
the hose. If that seems too
simple. nicotine sulphate will do
the job. but it must hit the pest
to be effective. A new material,
Malathon. is even better because
it does not evaporate as quickly.
Two or three applications Of
material are needed for effective
control and they should be from
3 to S days apart. The mites
have a short life cycle and the
sprays should be timed to get
the adults before they starry lay
ing a new crop Of eggs.
For those wishing to buy the
Glenn Dale this spring before
they can be seen in the Arbore-
tum. the following varieties, with
indicated height. are suggested
by a large commercial grower.
who has most of the Glenn Dales
under observation. They are

Not many years ago when a
gardener went to buy an aZalea
for his yard he had the choice of
a few Kurume varieties, such as
Hinodigiri. Pink Pearl, Coral
Bells, Snow and Christmas Cheer,
or a few species. AZalea breeders
realizing the value Of these snowy
spring bloomers started crossing
them and today we have q large
number Of new strains. Out
standing, for the Washington
area, are the Glenn Dale hybrids,
originated by DR.. B. Y. Morrison,
while employed by the United
States Department of Agri-
culture. Over 400 varieties have
been named and are being prop
agated by nurserymen.
Because Of the wide range of
colors. habits of growth and size
and season Of bloom, as well as
established hardness, there now
are choice azaleas that will fill
just about every need conceiv-
able.
However. the large number Of
hardy varieties is enough to con-
fuse the would-be aZalea planter
and q guide is needed to make a
selection. The Clonal Garden at
the National Arboretum, de-
scribed by DR.. H. T. Skinner, di-
rector, is the e-to-order So
luton. The Clonal Garden con-
tainS one or more plants of each
of the Glenn Dale varieties. It
takes more than one visit to the
Aboretum to see all of them be-
cause of the long range of bloom
ing seasons. The Aboretum is
open to the public throughout
the Towering season. The visitor
may see and study the Clonal
Garden and also enjoy the thous-
ands and thousands of azaleaS
in mass paintings - the finest
display Of hardy azaleas any,
where.
Sold Well in Advance.
The Glenn Dale azaleas have
proven so popular that it is ra-
ther difficult to buy plants larger
than rooted cuttings. Even in
this small size some varieties are
sold out a year or two in advance
"a few that are reported to be
outstanding. Most gardeners
are happy to select and buy a
few choice varieties and to grow
them to a useful size in a pro-
tected bed. It takes 2 to 3 years
to reach a pleasing display with
most varieties.
A suitable bed for planting the
rooted cuttings may be made
from boards set on edge, 10 or
IL inches high, to prevent drying
winds from reaching the tender
young plants. Such an edging is
also effective in protecting the
young plants from romping dogs
and flying feet. The soil mixture
is easily made from compost or
peatmoss and garden loan. If
the soil is very heavy, sand may
be added, but this is seldom
necessary.
Space the young plants a foot
apart so that they may develop
a good spread-azaleas should be
measured by width. not height.
With this spacing they will oc-
cupy a much smaller area than
if planted for a two-year grow
ing period.
Get DiSease-free Varieties.
Azaleas are a much enjoyed
shrub in this area and with the
newer forms of large flowers and
more robust growth they attract
much greater attention. For this
reason it is important that the
gardener obtain disease free,
northern grown varieties. The

Paper Cops Helpful
For EurIy Planting

George Williams. associate
horticulturiSt at VPI, says paper
hill covers, made of paraffined
paper and admit good deal of
light, serve as tiny greenhouses.
They are most useful for the vine
crops such as melons, cucum-
bers and squash, and for toma-
toes, peppers and eggplants.
To get the greatest benefits
from the hotcapS use them only
on early soil, usually sandy or at
least well-drained, and in places
protected from strong wind. Use
early varieties of each crop, since
late varieties planted under the
covers are likely to be no earlier.
