The sounds of 500
parakeetS and canarieS
once reverberated d
through the home of
John and Bill Craig in
Arlington.
Now, feathers have
given way to the petals
of more than 1,50O Or
child plants whose beauty
and majesty fill two
gree houses in the
youths backyard.
The unusual Craig
brothers sold their ca
naries and parakeets in
1851 when they and their
mother spent a summer
visiting her former home
in the British West In
dies.
"When we got back" "
explains John, II, who
graduated this month
from Washington Lee
High, Mother missed
the orchids that grow
wild in the British West
Indies"
Bill, Is, a sophomore
at Yorktown High, adds,
$50 we bought her an
orchid to remind her of
her home. 1t was so
pretty, we got to think
ing it would be nice to
raise them"
That was the begin
ming. Today they have
one of the largest private
greenhouse operations
in the area.
When their orchids
prospered far out of pro-
portion to the space linn
itations of their base
ment, the youths built a

g. by 12- foot lean to
greenhouse behind their
home at 1920 North
Twenty-Seventh street.
For about two years,
the lean-to greenhouse
was sufficient. Soon,
however, they needed
more space.
I'm 1857, we built the
big one," John says
proudly of the 10-by-28-
foot d ia h e d green
house in the back yard.
eve built the green
house ourselves-erected
the structure and put
in the glass. Bill takes
care of the mechanical
end, and I'm the botan-
ist in the family"
Since the brothers are
usually in school during
the week days, and their
m o t h er, Mrs. Quita
Craig, a secretary at the
Pentagon, is at work, it
was necessary to devise
a method of keeping the
heat constant in the
greenhouses.
Bill took care of it,"
says John. "He installed
an automatic ventilating
system in both green
houses. The vents in the
roof automatically open
and close as the temper
ature changes.
"The motors work off
of a thermostat that
keeps the temperature at
between IS and 10 de-
greeS in the winter. OF
course, in the summer
we try to keep it as cool
as we can."
In their greenhouses,
which include an inter-
com system, the youths
also have African violetS

and begonias which
they raise with equal
perfection. But they
hope eventually to de-
vote all their time to Or
chidS.
"OrchidS are the top"
John says. "Once you
reach them, you have
reached the peak. There
is nothing more exotic
or challenging than Or
chids-or more reward
ing"
Although he is just as
enthusiastic about the
orchids as his brother,
Bill has another hobby.
He makes color slides of
Single-celled protozoa by
mounting a camera on
a microscope.
"You See," explains
Bill, I'm torn between
biology and electronics.
But I've got plenty of
time to decide what L
eventually want to do"
And John is similarly
undecided as he pre-
pareS to enter George
Washington University
this fall. He comments:
81 want to be a physi-
cist. But l also would like
to go into the orchid
raising business in a
large wholesale CONNER
cial way if I can someday
get the land somewhere. "
He smiles and adds,
"It's a weighty prob
lem."
The Craig brothers
have just completed one
of their busiest seasons
selling orchid corsages
for high school gradua-
tion proms. Their moth
er, a floral artist, makes
up the corsages.

tiyities of a Christian Missionary
Society. AS the Bethany Beach I'm
provement Company, this religious
group purchased land sufficient for
100 building lots and began con-
struction of an octagonal shaped
Tabernacle. This Tabernacle, dedi-
Gated on July IL 1901, still re-
mains as one of the most distinc-
tive buildings in the area.
Difficult to reach in its earlier
days when the little steamboat At
lantic was used to transport pass
engers and supplies from a rail-
road spur near Rehoboth across in
land waters to the area, today's
Bethany Beach is easily accessible
from north and south by dualized
sections OF Del. Route No. IA and
from the west by Del. Route No.
26.
Recent dredging of nearby ASA
inland waterway system connect
ing Delaware Bay, at Lewes, with
Chincoteague Bay, in Virginia, has
resulted in increasing Bethany
Beach's popularity among boating
enthusiasts.
Smaller resorts, such as Dewey
Beach, sandwiched between the At
lantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay,
and Fenwick Island, straddling the
Mason-Dixon Line at Delaware's
southeastern extremity, are cur
rently expanding as result of
greater tourist traffic.
North of Lewes are several bay
front resorts noted principally for
good fishing. Included among these
are Broadkill, Prime Hook, Fowler
and Slaughter Beaches. Slaughter
Beach, on the bay due east of Mil
ford, offers a revival of the once
popular big Thursday" in mid
August
Still farther up the Delaware
Bay, in Kent County, are Big Stone

mock, Pickering Beach, Port Ma
hon and Woodland Beach, also
noted for fishing.

accessible by good roads, notes the

Lewes, site of the first European
attempt at settlement in what is
now Delaware, offers the color as
sociated with fishing port in ad-
dition to excellent swimming and
boating in protected bay waters.
Long popular as a "family-type
resort, Lewes, today, offers ex-
cellent tourist accommodations I;
special events, such as Sunday af-
ternoon yacht races, a mid-August
Homecoming Week, and the am
nual Labor Day Swim Races and
Marine FlotilIa Parade, provide
entertainment for summer visitors.
The Zwaanendael Museum and
various monuments serve to recall
a historic past that included an
attempt at settlement by the Dutch
in 1881 and bombardment by the
British during the War Of 1912.
Delaware Bay and River pilots
still make their homes and head
quarters there, and many CONNER
cial and pleasure fishing boats
have Lewes as their home port.
Bethany Beach, approximately
midway between the rapidly grow

sorts of Rehoboth Beach and Ocean
City, Md, is experiencing a small
boom of its own with more and
more vacationists discovering-and
enjoying-the quiet religious at
