Along The Waterfront

When you see red light on top, a white light below, and a red below that, watch out. That indicates winds of hurricane proportions, or blowing at GA or more knots.
 The storm warning lights to- gether with flags for daytime use, were furnished by the Jaycees. The Harbormaster says he doesn't use the flags as he figures the lights can be seen for a greater distance Besides, he says, it's pretty dark these days, anyway.
 I told Al I'd like to trade places with him-nothing to do but sit around in his lookout spot, with sending and receiving set and shortwave radio, watching the fishermen and boats come and go. Now that he has acquired brand new Falcon to ride around in, the job seems even more at- tractive.
 But then on the other hand, I saw him maneauvering his boat around the harbor in an effort to break up the ice the other day; I've seen him out there at the har- Dor on stormy nights when I was home, warm and comfortable. Maybe I'll just stick to newspaper ing.
 Al expects to sell his boat one of these days, in fact soon. Two boats-the Irene and the Ellen c have changed owners recently. The new owner of the Irene is

A gas tank was found by the Coast Guard in the vicinity of Raspberry Is- lands, and earlier identified as belonging to the craft, but this, too, was later found as not part of the equipment.
 The Coast Guard said the four were not believed to be carrying food, lights, oars or lifejackets. The search was handicapped by stormy weather, including high winds and a rough sea, with a low ceiling prevailing.

WASHINGTON (A.P.) :

One of the principal recommendations which Eisenhower disapproved would have permitted Pan Amer ican World Airways to fly from New York to Tokyo on the great circle route via Fairbanks.
 Eisenhower said he rejected most of the proposals. for addi- tional service on overseas routes because he believed this would mean taking business from foreign carriers and have a bad effect on international relations.
 The airlines have 20 days in which to appeal. If they do the formal decision would rest with the new administration.

Pruning

The pruning Of all plants,
deciduous and evergreen, should
be completed as rapidly as pos
sible. Many Of them will bleed
from cuts made at this season
but that should not deter the
gardener from giving those that
need thinning their annual
pruning. An overgrown shrub
can hardly be expected to be a

White Clover

Gardeners who want white
clover in their lawns should
sow the seed now. An ounce of
good seed should be adequate
for 1000 square feet of area.
The farmer uses u pounds per
acre because the plants have a
good spreading-type Of growth.
An application Of super
phosphate-10 to IS pounds per
1000 square feet Of area, is
usually beneficial in getting
good clover establishment. Do
not try to cover the seed. The
late frosts should do the job.

Chickweed

The chickweed that is in
vading both the lawn and the
flower beds is an annual pest.
1t sprouts in the fall and lives
over winter as a plant. 1t will
thrive and grow under a snow
cover which may explain why
it is doing so well this spring.
Most of the plants are in
blossom and hence resistant
to 2,4-D. Silvex is a better
killer than the potassium
cyanate that formerly was
recommended as a spring killer.
Silvex may kill the mature
plants in the lawn with one
application, but two is more
likely to produce the desired
kill. In the flower beds and
shrub borders the chickweed
should be removed by hand.

When planting azaleaS always
incorporate q generous guam
tity Of sphagnum moss in the
planting hole. There seems to
be some sort Of affinity be-
tween the two. Sphagnum moss
does more good mixed into the
soil than as q mulch. AS a
mulch 1t tends to crust unless
mixed with coarser materials.

Mrs. Kennedy will reestab-
lish a White House tradi-
'tion on Tuesday. having ar
ranged for a Christmas visit
to Children's Hospital.
For the first time since
August, 1851. when Mrs.
Harry S. Truman called at
the hospital, the 200 or so
patients will get a glimpse
of the wife of a United
States President.
Mrs. Kennedy will visit the
hospital at 3 pm. and will
give each of the patients a
personal Christmas momento.
Miss Edith Torkington.

that Mrs. Kennedy for the
most part will "see our little
patients in bed"

here because she wants too.
This is a Christmas visit to
the children-She wants to
see our actual patients and

Mrs. Kennedy may find a
few surprises that day.
There are already plans for
some gifts for her to take

street that is famous for its
own personal welcoming of
top dignataries.
The event on Tuesday is
bound to be a historical and
touching one from past per-
formances.
The last visit there by Mrs.
Truman (Which was an an
nual call. according to a hos
pital spokesman was for the
presentation of a piece of
equipment to the hospital.
Mrs. Truman had requested
that the proceeds from the
previous Inaugural Ball be
given to the hospital to pur-
chase equipment.
Miss Torkington recalls
that Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt was up several tioooS
On one occasion the d.
rector states that Mrs. Roose-
welt went through the wards
bringing a fresh red rose to
each patient and putting
them down pillow by pillow"
There is also picture in

books of Mrs. Roosevelt.

a child afflicted with polio
something very near and dear
to the First Lady's heart in
that her OWN husband was a
victim of the dread disease.
Then there is another
touching memento for the
annals Of Children's Hospital
from Mrs. Coolidge. This is a
photograph of her in their
scrap books seated by a small
Ill baby reading to him.
Miss Torkington says that
although Mrs. Eisenhower
never paid a personal call to
the hospital. that she "often
sent flowers. fruit and gifts
to the children She also
recalls a special cake arriving
from Mrs Eisenhower mark
ing the time Alaska became
a State.
AS for the reaction of the
hospital personnel that Mrs.
Kennedy would pay a visit.

like wild fire - everybody is
just buzzing."
