HUBBARD RESIGNS
A few minutes previous to the
boards first session with the new
members Monday night Hubbard
resigned from the board and made
a brief statement, saying: Since
being appointed on the Board I
realize that I am ineligible to
serve. -
The Monday nights session OF
the board appeared to be the
first harmonious meeting since
Governor Faubus interferred in To-

seemed to favor a solution to

as chaperones The weather was
perfect for the trip. The first stop
in Washington was made at the
White House and the group made
tour of it. Then they proceeded
to Senator John ]. Williams office.
where they were welcomed warm
ly by the Senator himself. Each
pupil had the privilege of sitting
in his desk chair. Through his
courtesy, one of his secretaries
took the group through the under
ground railway and into the Sen
ate. The Senate had not yet con-
vened for the day, but they were
shown where Senator Williams and
Senator Frear sat. They would
have visited Senator Frear also,
but he was in the hospital at that
time. While in the Senate the group
was told that Cuban Prime Minister
Fidel Castro was in the building
and would be leaving in about
twenty minutes. After the tour
was finished the group crossed
the street and sat on the wall and
watched Castro. We had the privi-
lege of seeing him and several of
the group took pictures of him.
The next stop was the Wash
ington Monument. The group went
up the monument They ate lunch
in the bus, rested and bought SOU

the group again took the bus to

mong other things, they saw the
famed Hope Diamond. About 4:30
p. m, the group left for home.
Enroute they stopped at the. Dutch
Mill Inn for dinner, which was
enjoyed by all. They arrived back
home at 7:45 p. M, tired, but

Put Squeeze On Wild
Onion And Garlic
In Your Lawn

A good hard. friendly hand shake
will rid your lawn of unsightly
wild onion and garlic plants, ac-
cording to County Agent George
vapaa.
A waxy protective coating on the
leaves of garlic and onion makes
these plants more resistant than
most weeks to treatment with
chemical week killers but by Civ
ing them special individual treat
ment, the job can be done.
Here's the method suggested by
USDA specialists. Mix 5-per cent
solution of 2, 4-D in water (about
five ounces of an ester formulation
of 2. AID to approximately a gal
Ion of water). Then place a rub
-ber glove over your hand to pro-
tect 1t from the chemical and pull
an absorbent cotton glove over the
rubber glove.
Apply the solution to the garlic
or onion plants by dipping your
gIoved hand into the mixture, then
firming your hand around the tops
of the unwelcome pest. Press hard
enough to break through some of
the waxy coating on the leaves of
the plant. This will permit the
chemical to penetrate into the
plants system, move down into the
bulbs, and kill the entire plant.
Spot treatment of this sort
makes 1t possible to use a stronger
solution of 2. AID than would be
safe for a general lawn treatment.

Verne also figured out how tc
keep his space travellers breathing
during their flight. His imagina-
ton provided chemicals to replen-
ism and absorb carbon monoxide
(Air regeneration systems, the
space scientists of today call
them.)
The fabulous science-fiction ar
tist of the 1800s also touched
briefly on supersonics. His he
roes, once they were sent into
space by an explosion that shook
Florida, discovered that they fail
led to hear the slightest sound from
the tremendous blast. After giving
some thought to this, they dis
covered they were travelling much
faster than the sound from the
cannon.
Verne was careful not to let
his threesome land on the moon,
but was equally careful not to ad-
NIT his calculations had been in
error.
His fearless travellers at one
point in their journey, were near

determined, threw them off course

The did orbit around it, how
ever, coming within 25 miles of
the lunar surface. Much closer

Explorer, by the way)
Verne, with astute foresight, had
his projectile equipped with small
rockets for the return trip. At just
the right moment in the projec-
tiles orbit around the moon, the
rockets modern spacemen call
them retro-rOckets) were fired
pushing the craft away from the
moon.
They gave just enough shove to
get the projectile past the moons s
gravity. From there it was simple.
1t merely fell to the earth.
The speed of the free fall was
not enough to cause the projec-
tile>to burn up when it entered the
earth's atmosphere. What heat
was quickly consumed when the
space machinefell-in true Jules
Verne style-intO the ocean.
Verne's projectile naturally was
of proper size and weight to float
to the surface. It's three passen-

future may be able to withstand
the shock of rapid acceleration

"Phooey", the 18th Century
French adventure writer probably
would say, Il thought of that
nearly 10 years ago."
And he did.
Verne, who died shortly after
the turn of the century and before
much of anything ever got off the
ground, made startling number
of space-age predictions in his
science fiction: many of them be-
ing proved practical in essence
today.
In the novel he called From the
Earth to the Moon, and its sequel,
Round the Moon, the imagina-
tive Verne sent space ship to
the moon and back to earth by a
simple, mildly scientific method.
Verne's characters, the leaders of
Gun Club, were distraught at
the thought of no more wars and
hence no further use for their
pride and joy-artillery pieces.
That was when they decided on
going to the moon.
The method? Simple. Just build
big enough cannon and shoot a
.projectile to the moon.
Jules did not hit on liquid pro-
pellants, exotic fuels and such,
but he came up with a cannon cap
able, according to his own intri-
cate calculations, of sending a pro-
jectile weighing nearly 10000
pounds into space.
The Gun Club proceeded to build
a cannon, all of its 800 foot length
sunk into the ground Where did
they build it? On the southern tip
of Florida, of course. Check your
map for Cape Canaveral's loca-
tion.)
This monstrOus cannon, dubbed
the Columbiad, was stuffed with
couple hundred tons of gun cot
ton. This was to be set off by cleo
trio sparks. (They don't touch of
moon rockets nowadays with mat
ches or firebrands, either)
Verne figured the resulting
blast would give the projectile an
initial velocity of 10000 yards per
second, or roughly 24,5O0 mph.
They're powering moon rockets
now for a velocity of $4,000 mph.)
Like modern space, engineers,
Verne thought of the safety of his
travellers. How would they with
stand the shock of the initial blast
off?
Float EN- in water, the Air Force
has discovered recently. Verne did

The next day Near found the

There are, Of course, sew
eral officials in Washington
such as Secretary of State
and Mrs. Herter, Senator and
Mrs. Stuart Symington and
Special Assistant to the
President and Mrs. Gordon
Gray-who have both politi-
cal rank and unquestioned

preceded the former.
The article also has some
thing to say about debut
tantes. Although there are
thousands Of them all over
the United States, it says,
"only a few Of them-in New
York, no more than about 10
per cent-make the grade Of
the really exclusive, and so &C
knoWledged debutante lists"
In Washington the per-
centage who make the grade
is higher, probably around
rs or 80 per cent. The rest
just have parties given for
them. They are not really
being introduced to society,
unless you call any gather
ing for sociable purposes

: The article quotes a
knowledgeable New York So
cial secretary as advising a
mother against giving her
daughter a Gotham debut
because the family had put
down no roots" there. That
is why 1t is so absurd for.
American girls to be pre-
sented" at some American-
instigated debutane ball in
Paris, London or Madrid.
They haven't put down any
roots there and they don't
meet THE society Of those
cities.
1t goes on to discuss the
common backgrounds, habits
and details of speech that
enable one member Of So
ciety to instantly recognize
another.
"NONE OF MY FRIENDS
would ever think of saying
Grapes instead of 'draperies,'
for instance" it quotes a
member of New York society.
Don't ask me why, but we
wouldn't. And anyone who
did weuld obviously be some
one who wasn't very familiar
with the way we do things"
when this columnist
once wrote that Grapes"
was definitely Non-U, she
received a barrage of indig-
nant letters saying it was
in the dictionary, which, Of
course, had nothing to do
with the case.)
The article also takes up
the relative Importance of
being listed in the Social
Register, which is argueable.

della Biddle, is right when
she says it's only important

The article is chiefly about
New York society. Though
1t mentions other cities, it
does not attempt to explain
this complicated society of
Washington. Ours is
unique because of its Off
cial superstructure. Yet If
you pare it down to the
inner core. sitting off the
purely official claims of rank
or political power, the fol-
lowing paragraph also APP
plies to the Nations Capital:
There are gradual addi-
tons to society'S inner core,
but no mass invasions. There

week. Twice within seven

time, the woman who claimed
the title-that has suddenly

I object on two counts
Cd That Washington society
should take on the dubious
nature of a race track that's
open to all entries And
90 that society writer's in
general, and this one in par
ticular, should be so maligned
as to get credit for naming
