Forecaster Marvin N. Hunter

Warning Center on the third

Donna's course on maps. In a
conference call with Miami and
Boston hurricane centers at
about 9 pm. last night, it was

With winds estimated at lis +.
miles an hour at the center,
the storm turned ashore along
wide front in the area Of
Wilmington's beaches, ripped:
past New Bern and WashingJ
ton and swung to sea again in
the Elizabeth City area.
Many communities were isoN
lated with power and communi-
cation lines out. Huge waves
flooded beach buildings and.
paved streets with thick sand.
Winds knocked over small
buildings, unrooffed others and
spattered plate glass windows
in stores of a dozen cities.
Crashing trees blocked high
ways. Hospitals operated on
emergency power units. Indus
tries closed down, restaurants
served cold meals, and gas sta
tons were imperative because
of lack of power.
Torrential rains accompanied
the storm as it moved inland.
One North Carolina man was
killed by the storm.
Donna brushed past South

The
Rambler
Recalls
The Time Boil
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Royal Naval Observa-
tory has been moved from
Greenwich to Herstmonceux
Castle near the coast of
Sussex not far from Hastings.
There is little likelihood
that future generations of
school children will be asked
to call it "HerStmonceux
Mean Time" Americans have
had difficulty enough in
learning to nounce
Greenwich "grenich."
The new residence of the
Royal Astronomer is about 20
minutes east of the famous
zero meridian which still
runs through Greenwich, a
community on the south
bank of the Thames about
10 miles east or downriver
from London.
HerStmonceux is a Splen-
did medieval Norman pile
with a moat and a keep and
all that. In their calcula-
tions, the astronomers take
20 minutes off the meridian.
All this information was
CLEANED in preparing to'write
about WaShington'S chang
ing Seventeenth street.
Washington had a time ball
on the roof of the State, War
and Navy Building, which
now houses the executive
offices of the President,
similar to the one on the
Royal Naval Observatory on
the Thames.
At Greenwich on the
Thames at 5 minutes to IL
the ball would go half way
up the pole. At 2 minutes
to IL it would go to the top.
At the stroke of noon it
would plummet to the
bottom.
Evening star., 1960-09-12

M A RINERS IN SHIPS
along the wide estuary that
is London harbor would
correct the chronometers
which they used in calculat-
ing their latitude and longi-
tude at sea.
Washington'S time ball on
that great pile at Seven
teenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue operated in
much the same way. Just
before noon Charles Carroll
Glover, president of the
Riggs Bank and any busi-
ressmen who happened to be
in the bank, would go out on
the steps, pull their watches
from their breast pockets by
the heavy gold chains secur-
ing them and set the hands
at the fall of the ball.
After a hiatus of a num-
ber of years, the British have
resumed operation Of the
time ball at the new obServa-
tory.
The Rambler could find no
interest in a revival of the
time ball here. We get our
time signals by the radio.
Our clocks are regulated by
telegraph signals. What
everyone wants, it seems, is
to have the formidable mass
that was State, War and
Navy, torn down. It doesn't
seem to have a friend.
The Rambler confesses a
Sneaky fondneSs for the
ugly old monstrosity. Per-
haps that is due to the per-
sonality of the Negro guide
who showed him through it
on his first visit to Wash
ington in 1880. 1t was high
point. He doesn't mind the
Old Post Office tower.
What he fears is this
current conformity which
insists that all buildings
representing styles that have
become unpopular will have
TO be demolished.
The District Building, a
solid example of the neo-
Renaissance of the Beaux-
Arts or Edwardian era, is a
case in point.
1t will probably have to go
to make way for another
example of the belabored
classicism of the Federal
Triangle.
Well, when they get around
to tearing down old State,
War and Navy, they will
have a job on their hands.
1t was built for the ages.
Its granite walls are fee
thick.
