BY WILBUR H. YOUNGMAN
star Garden Editor

In these days Of suburban
gardens there is q tendency To
overlook the value Of vegetables
In the small garden. Not only
are they attractive In the bor-
der. but with proper selection
a considerable quantity Of gar
den fresh produce can be grown
on q very limited space. Vege-
tables to be Of first quality
should have q sunny location
and the soil should be well pre-
pared before planting.
Some gardeners insist that
they have very poor. difficult
soils to work with and that the
growing Of vegetables is out Of
the question. With the addition
of compost or peatmoss to the
soil most gardeners can pro-
duce excellent vegetables. Not
only should an abundant sup
Iply Of compost be worked into
the soil. but for onions. peas,
and cabbage the soil should
receive SUFFICIENT agricultural
(ground) limestone to make II
neutral. In most cases Is to IS
pounds per 1000 square feet Of
ground limestone will accom-
Iplish this objective.
The University Of Maryland
recommends the mixing into
the soil at the time of spadine
Of Is to IS pounds Of a COM
plete mixed fertilizer, such as
the common 5-l0-5 mixture
These should be thoroughly
mixed with the soil at the time
of preparation.
Tomatoes are probably the
most productive crop that car
be grown in the small garden
They will produce fruit from
early July to frost with the
minimum Of space and Of pro-
tective spraying or busting
However. most gardeners have
the idea that it takes two or
three dozen plants to produce
an ample supply Of fruit. More
experienced gardeners are con-
vinced that six plants properly
handled viii yield all Of the
fruits that a family can use
for fresh table consumption.

GARDEN CHORES
FOR THE WEEK.:
HURRY PRUNING

1t is quite likely that
there will be many frosts
before spring eventually
emerges. However, the
pruning of shade trees.
fruit trees and deciduous
shrubs should be done as
soon as possible. The
sowing Of garden peas. the
planting Of onion sets and
plants, hardy cabbage plants
and the harder flower seeds
may be done whenever the
soil is in good working con-
dition. -.
Plant gladiolus cormels
much as you would garden
peas. Now is the time
to apply fertilizer and lime
to the lawn Is to IS
pounds per 1000 square
feet. :. Spade beds when
ever the soil is workable
for later paintings. :.
Mix fertilizer and compost
into the soil at the time Of
spading. The new ma
terials for the control Of
crabgrasS by killing the
dormant seed may be APP
piled now.
The planting Of decidu-
Gus trees and shrubs, in
Guiding roses should not be
postponed longer than nee
essary-whenever the soil
is workable. Give the
rose bushes and deciduous
trees and shrubs a good
application of a dormant
strength spray such as
lime sulphur to control
scale insects and to kill the
disease spores which live
over winter on the bark.
:. Sow seed Of some Of
the harder ANIMALS to get
early bloom. Scatter
the seed thinly since they
do not transplant easily.

NWA Chamber Reviews Results of Busy Week
 Of Meetings and Hearings

Officers and members of the VIVA Chamber of Commerce had a busy week which was reviewed at the noon meeting on Monday.
 In addition to the Intrastate Aeronautical Commission hearing which was attended by the Trans portation Committee on Wednes- day, and the State Planning Com mission hearing on Friday, spe- cial meeting was held with Sen. E. L. Bartlett who came to Nome unexpectedly on the matter of de- fense. He met with the Chamber Board of Directors Friday night. Bartlett gave little encourage ment for building of offense in stallations in this coastal area be- cause it appears to be too close to Siberia
 A discussion concerning the proposed wildlife refuge north east of Fairbanks, brought out the information that it would cost the state about $275,000 a year
 Some encouragement was given to Nome's proposed sewerage and water system, under a bill passed by Congress which provides aid to communities with predomin- antly native populations to build health facilities. The matter is under study by a committee of the Chamber s
 The serious crisis of the over whelming school population, now augmented by the closing of the King Island school, was discussed.
 It was brought out that these children are a distinct liability to the city and the school finan- cial-Wise, since these people con- tribute almost nothing in the way of tax income - and 1t is from the real property tax that the City of Nome derives the money to pay it's share of school operation costs.
 The Chamber Board of Direc- ors will pursue some special course of action in the matter, it was decided.

38 Million Dollar Road Program
 Outlined for 1900

JUNEAU, R-A 38-million dol lar highway construction and planning program for Alaska next year was announced Tuesday by the State Department of Public Works
 Another 315 million dollars, available as a result of Alaska's first full participation in the federal highway program, was held apart from the actual con- struction allocations
 The latter sum was slated for emergency or other use-includ- ing possible expenditures in con- nection with proposed South eastern ferry system if congress sional legislation is approved to make a start on the so called water highway.
 One of the chief features of the 1860 program is the start of con- struction on highway that even tually will connect Anchorage and Fairbanks along the railbelt.
 Nearly 512 million dollars will go in the next year for construc- ton of a road north from Willow to Talkeetna and other road and bridge projects south from Fair banks to Rex, a few miles south of Clear.
 The roads eventually will be extended to meet at Mckinley Park, providing a direct north south link between the states two largest cites.

No End In Sight For Algerian Rebellion

PARIS, RAThe outlook for an early end to the bitter Algerian rebellion appeared as gloomy as ever today.
 A rebel proposal to meet with President Charles De Gaulle fail ed to draw any immediate res ponse from the French president
 The provisional rebel govern ment announced Monday it was ready to discuss a ceasefire and details of De Gaulle's promise of self determination for Algeria's nine million Moslems.
 The carefully worded statement was in reply to De Gaulle's Sept. 16 declaration spelling out new course for the rebelhous north African territory.
 The French leader promised referendum in Algeria not later than four years after the end of fighting He said the Moslems could choose either independence, integration with France or limited autonomy.
 De Gaulle had asserted in his declaration he would not discuss Algeria's future with what he de- scribed as group of ambitious agitators"-the rebel government

Russian Visitors Note Warming Atmosphere In U.S.-Russian Relations

SEATTLE, R - Five Russian scientists in the Northwest to study fisheries problems arrived here Monday and said they noted a certain warming up of the at mosphere" in U. s. - Soviet rela- tionS.
 'tAnd you know, fish also are caught at a certain temperature, !" Audrey s. Gaidukov, the groups spokesman said.
 The Russian scientists are re- turning a month-long visit recent ly made by four American fish cries experts. At that time the two groups reached agreement on an exchange of scientific data in an effort to determine what is causing North Pacific salmon stocks to diminish.
 The Russians left Tuesday for a 13-day tour in Alaska. They have been accompanied on their North west tour by Samuel J. Hutchin- son, director of the Federal Bu- reau of Commercial Fisheries, who was on the Russian trip.

ROY FRANKLIN-AN
ACCIDENTAL STAR

A 6-foot 4-inch youth
who looks like a football
player, Roy got the idea
for Summer Sweet
heart" in June, 1858.
He wrote out the lyrics
about a boy who
meets a girl during sum-
mer vacation and then
has to leave for home
but found he was having
trouble transcribing the
music, since he doesn't
know musical notation
very well.
Deciding to record the
song, so he could try to
sell it to some other per-
former to put on wax,
the Bethesda youth ar
ranged for a session at
a studio in Takoma
Park. He used straight
guitar" drums, piano
and electric guitar.
The studio proprietor,
Ben Adelman, after
listening to the record,
told Roy he thought it
was good enough to
release with Roy him
self singing it. He had
a couple of SuggeS-
tions, however, for i'm
proving it. Mr.. Adelman
said it needed a chorus
and a slightly stronger
rhythm.

Star STAR Writer

It took a long time for
Roy Franklin'S record Of
Summer Sweetheart"
to get rolling, but now
it's well on the way to
becoming a hit.
Roy was born in
Washington and brought
up in Silver Spring.
Until he was grad
uated from Montgomery
Blair High School five
years ago, music was not
a very large part of
Roy'S life. AS a matter
of fact, Summer Sweet
heart" was an "ac-
cident."
About three years ago,
Roy got mixed up with
some young musicians
and decided to learn the
guitar. He took lessons
for three months and
improved his technique
further by listening to
records and the radio.
For a while he played
with different combo
groups at local clubs and
dances, but then he
formed a group of his
own. He saw that both a
guitar and bass fiddle
would be needed and
since one of his fellow
musicians played better
guitar than he did, Roy
turned for the most part
to the bass.
Evening star., 1959-10-04

the next year for release,
since Summer Sweet
heart" has a seasonal
theme.
That's what they did,
and if the success of the
record in Washington is
any indication, it's due
to catch on elsewhere,
too. So far on the local
record poll it has placed
10th, seventh and fifth.

From George

First of all, may I say that
I read TEEN every Sunday
and enjoy it very much.
In regard to the recent
Elvis versus Ricky dispute, I
would like to say I don't
understand why there is any
controversy at all! We of the
singing profession feel that
there is plenty of room for
everyone in the business and
since entertainment is a
matter Of personal taste,
there is ample opportunity for
singers of many different
types and personalities.
I am certain Elvis and
Ricky feel the same way. I
have met Elvis several times
and I found him to be a very
humble, friendly person with
a great deal Of warmth and
sincerity. I don't know Ricky,
but I understand from fell
low entertainers that he is
a very quiet. humble person
also. I admire and respect
them both as performers and
as people.
I also think Milt Grant is
one of the incest people in
show business. We shouldn't
take him for granted just be-
cause he is a local person.
