varieties of peaches developed by
Stanley Johnston at the South Ha-
ven Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion-were introduced this year
Both originated from crossing of
the Redhaven and SH-50
Both varieties are bright red and
gold. averaging "a to 21a inches
In diameter. The Sunhaven ripens
10 days earlier than the Redhaven,
currently the first Michigan peach
of commercial Importance.
Johnston says the SEnhaven
tends to be clingy until it is fully
ripened and Is intended only for
fresh market channels. The Rich
haven is dual purpose peach,
rated excellent in commercial can
ming tests. A tough, thick skin pro-
tects it we'll in shipping.
Trees are large, vigorous and
seIf-fertile. Some of them wealth
cred a freeze of November, 1850,
which killed OFF about half south
west Michigan's peach trees.

PUD ME ET[NC

only three direct tors Tere pre- sent at the PUD beard of di rectors nee ing Mon- day night as President Hennfng Johns on and director Milt Alm were out of town.
 Ke. Masters, local electric an, was present to ask several qugst Ions in re- gard to the rewiring plan ned at the deck. He ga i'd that the job should not be done by force account and indicated that he thought the re was a law that stated that such jobs over a certa in amount should be done by bid. The di- rectors stated that they knew of n1 such law. NJ sters then stated that he tn ought that if there. was to be any rew1ring done at the dock, the pre sent romex cable should be torn out and con- du t used to rep1ac ce it. Board members Carl Baier and Gene Browning both stat cd tha t they felt that the Rome would pass safety regu1at ions1
 The rather heated discuss ion was in- corrupted when Territorial Patrclman Ed Martin entered the meeting room and re- quested that three ears parked on the highway in front of the building De moved off the road. Masters did not come back to the meeting and the board decided to go ahead on force account with Frn k White, another electric ian, to do the job.
 In other siness the directors ex- tended the completio ion date of the water and sewage faciliti es at the hospital from August s to september 5. Try Gregoire, the contractor, indicated that tn plumbers, who have been out on strike, completed the 1T work and all that rema ins to be done is minor work on the pump ui1ding.
 Gregoire, who also has the dock hoist contract, stated that the hoist had fl na11y arrived and because of it's weight will be installed on the bull rail instead of the hoist arm.

Annual Show
AtCorcoron

The ninth annual area exhi-
bition opened with an invita-
ton reception last evening at
the Corcoran Gallery Of Art, TO
remain for five weeks. One as
pect of this annual worthy Of
remark is that each edition Is
different" as compared with
preceding area exhibitions. in
dicating that inviting q new
set Of jurors each year insures
a fresh approach. In view OF
the fact that there must be
q more or less constant group
of area artists, new additions
becoming familiar as long
time residents drift away,
the sometimes kaleidoscope
changes in the artists repre-
scented is undoubtedly due to
the tastes of the jurors.
Differences in each area an
nual produce surprises that
are not always pleasant. In the
current one, the number Of
paintings accepted is extraor-
dinarily low: SO from q total OF
DAT submitted. These SO rep
resent only A artists (six have
two paintings each), o large
majority Of whom are new
faces" Gratifying as it is to
welcome newcomers, not only
young artists beginning their
careers, but also experienced
artists new to Washington,
nevertheless many established
local artists must have been
among the rejectees. which Is
not good.
New Cotegories
Another difference and q
happy one, in the ninth an
nual, is the introduction OF
textiles and silver. These and
two new categories Of exhibits:
other classes will be reviewed

large show was not completed
early enough to permit q

there is a similar thread bind

Epic Of Courage

Inere was the published
story Of the 81 days which
Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker and
his seven companions endured
drifting at sea during the war.
There was "Kon Tiki" the
raft that made it across the
Pacific. There was the recent
conquest Of Mount Everest. All
these were true stories of the
triumph Of the human spirit.
But a special niche in the
history of such indomitable
men should be reserved for q
young Finn named Ensio Tiira,
whose Raft Of Despair" Out
ton; So describes 80 days
adrift on the Indian ocean in
a raft.
The reason for Tiira's pres
ence on the raft is one Of those
ironies which happen as often
in life as in fiction. He was in
the French. Foreign Legion, on
a transport bound from Algeria
to Indo- China to fight the
Communist Vietminh. He and
a comrade, Fred Ericsson from
Sweden, decided to desert. and,
with the help Of some sailors,
they jumped overheard with
one of the ships rubber RATS
one night when they were, as
they believed. OF the coast Of
Sumatra.
In fighting the sea and the
sharks these men displayed
courage and resourcefulness
which would have made them
valuable combat men in Indo-
China. But they had no in
terest in that war.
Ericsson did not survive the
dreadful experience, but died
Of exposure, hunger and thirst
Is days short Of rescue. Tiira
somehow went on. They had
taken only a small bag of food
and one bottle of wine from
the ship, believing they could
reach shore in a few hours.
They had water only when it
rained, every few days. and
they could catch some.
Tiira's simple. clear story Of
the experience is an epic of its
kind. Near death, he was picked
UP by a British freighter and
taken to Singapore and q hos
pital. His weight had dropped
from a normal 1872 to 56
pounds.
