Kodiak will receive pas senger ship service from June 1 2 to August 30, this year ac-
 cording to the new spring and summer Alaska Steamship Company schedule.
 A new vessel, the Alaska, will replace the Denali on the Kodiak run this season. The Alaska is larger than the De- mali and for several years has
 been on the Seward Seattle
 run. The Alaska is 366 feet in
 length, has a displacement of 1 2, 45O tons and a gross tonnage
 of 4,658. The Denali is 335 feet in length, displaces 6,480 tons and has a gross tonnage of 8, ,365.
 The Alaska will call at Ko-
 diak on June 2, and 21, July 5
 and 19, and August ?, 16 and
 30. For the past 10 years the Denali has made Kodiak one of it's regular ports of call dur ing the tourist season. Seve-
 ral years ago it served Kodiak the year round with passenger
 service.
 The Denali, the Baranof and , the Aleutian will remain in i service with the company. Fhe Alaska will carry more pas sengers than the Denali and
 will offer the same service to tourists and passengers, Walt

If YOU'VE EVER GROWN A

We are so positive that you have
probably never grown a plant like
this before and we are so
positive that the Living Torch will
outperforn any plant you or your
neighbor have in your garden to-
day that we make this iron-
clad, ney-back guarantee.
FIRST WE WANT YOU TO
CHECK EVERYTHING WE'VE
SAID ABOUT THIS PLANT
WITH YOUR NEAREST BOTAN-
ICAL GARDEN OR PUBLIC
LIBRARY. When you have proven
to yourself that everything we have
said about this plant is the truth,
mail the no-risk coupon below.
We will send you not l, not 2,
but 3 Living Torches. And II after
you plant them you don't agree
that they are the most unusual
plants you have ever seen
If this winter they don't put on q
fiery show Of beauty that actually
takes your breath away &. return
them for your full money back, no
questions asked. But remember,

A new COLOR SURPRISE
EVERY SEASON

Then as summer rolls around
get set for one of the most beau
tiful sights In nature. Like magic
you'll see each plant transform
itself from red to q rare shade
Of golden-lemon. And that's not
all. In July your Torches become
still more breath-taking as they
change color again from yellow to
blue-torquoise to deep tropic green
that lasts right up to November
when once again they start
their winter magic. Why it's like
growing q different plant every
season of the year.

A SOLID WALL OF BEAUTY
365 DAYS A YEAR

And best of all these plants are
so easy to grow even your child
can do it. They take only 10
minutes to plant. Just put them
in the ground in sun or even
semi-shade. Water once or twice
a month and you'll be rewarded
with a towering 4, 6, even 8 foot
mountain of beauty that your
neighbors. can see and admire
from a full block away. q
Yes, here are plants so strong
and hardy they thrive even in s.
foot snowdrifts. Plants so fertile
that in October when other flowers
are dead, these Torches first start
to bud. Plants so desperate to
bloom they grow in rich black
soil, sandy soil, in acid soil. Plants
that grow in summer heat or
freezing winter snow. And all at
price so low it's almost too
ridiculous to mention.

WATCH 1T CHANGE COLOR
WITH The WEATHER

Yes, In December and January
just picture your nelghbor's faces
when they see your fences, your
driveway, your snow-covered gar
den set ablaze by these magnificent
plants. Picture your bare trees
set in a sunny circle of orange.
Picture the stunning contrast Of
q living fountain Of burgundy
spilling over the snow on your
front lawn. Picture the walks to
your front door lined with thick
beds of cleaning bronze Torches
waiting'to welcome you on a bleak,
snowy day. It's like June in jan
uary. And as the weather gets
colder :. your Living Torches
change color. They get redder and
redder And that's when the real
miracle happens.

in their gardens to make them
different and distinctive. These
adventurers are Of considerable
value to the gardening frater-
nifty In that someone has to test
plants to find out their value
to this area. It Is true that there
are nurserymen who do this to
q certain extent. but In the end
it Is the gardener who finds out
how such plants will do under
backyard" gardening conditions.
DR.. John L. Creech, superin-
tendent Of the Glenn Dale Plant
Introduction Station, Depart
ment Of Agriculture, has pre-
pared q list Of unusual trees and
shrubs and many gardeners viii
find 1t Of more than passing In
terest. Not all Of these plants
may be obtained without some
effort on the part Of the gar
dener. but for those who want to
give them a try there are sources.
These Con Be Bush or Tree
Most gardeners are acquainted
with the common redbud. or Ju-
das Tree as 1t is sometimes
known. However. the Chinese
redbud (Cercis chinensis) Is quite
distinctive. In the first place
it may be trained as q bush
rather than as q tree And 1t
seems to be more or less i'm
mune to the dieback that so
often takes our native after is
or 20 years. The color Of the
bloom Is not greatly dissimilar to
the American redbud.
The very early Towering dog
wood (Cornus Mas), often called
the Cornelian cherry, produces
numerous small yellow blooms in
the early spring. 1t too tends
to be q large shrub rather than
q small tree, but it can be trained
to tree form. For those who
are interested in dogwoods this
one should be a must.

A second rather unusual dog
wood Is tho Kousa dogwood
which might also be called q
"late" dogwood. but this one
more nearly represents the
common concept Of q dogwood.
However, its large. white. four
petaled blooms appear after the
tree has begun to leaf out and
thus Is not quite as snowy. The
petals do not have the charac-
teristic notch" at the tip as dc
those on the native dogwood. It
thrives under the same condi-
tions as our pink and white
favorites.

The Franklinia loves a deep
rich soil and should have some
protection from strong winds
Some will call the Franklinia a
small tree, others will think of il
as a medium sized one.
Towering Cherries and Peers
Flowering cherries, including
the weeping, are rather common
throughout the Washington
area, but few have heard Of the
all-f1owering Japanese cherry
(Prunus subhirtella Sutumnails)
The fall-flowering cherry will
thrive under the same condi-
tions as the spring bloomers
It too is a medium sized tree but
not as snowy as its spring cousin

Though 1.-THE Annapolis
Story" doesn't sound like a
hair-raising movie, actor
Kelvin Mccarthy has such a
clause in his contract.
For his role, Mccarthy was
required to have a cadet crew
cut but because of another
commitment his agent got his
contract to state that his hair
would only be cut once.
The last day OF shooting,
Director Don Siegel decided
Kevin's hair had grown too
much to match earlier scenes.
The director called a barber
Kelvin called his agent.
Result was a compromise:
The producer agreed to take
front. side and rear portraits
of McCarthy's current haircut
before the barber trimmed it.
The pictures were sent to Max
Factors wig experts. Tonight
when Mccarthy takes the lead
opposite Betty Hutton in her
TV debut, McCarthy's hair
will be leading man-length,
via wig.
