camp out-which brought Mr..
and Mrs. Curtis together in the
first place.
II met my husband at a girls
camp in Maine, of all places. 1t
was like courtship in a goldfish
bowl" Mrs. Curtis recalled with
some humor.
Mr.. Curtis, son of one of the
camp officials, visited the camp
one summer when Mrs. Curtis
was there as a counselor.
After their marriage, they
moved frequently about the
country - eight times in six
years as Mr.. Curtis taught,
completed work on his PhD, and
was shifted about during the
Korean War.
But at Dartmouth College,
where the Curtises lived before
coming to Potomac four years
ago, they settled down to six
years of academic life where
social activity for a greater part
Of the year centers on the ski
slopes.
Here Mrs. Curtis worked on
the ski school staff teaching
young children. And here, for
the first time since she left
home, she found a workshop,
where women woodworkers
weren't looked upon as freaks -
In the Dartmouth student
workshop Mrs. Curtis found an
enthusiasts response for every
project-"you could walk in and
suggest building rocket ship
to the moon and someone would
try to figure out how"
Mrs. Curtis built a 9-foot sail
ing pram or dingy out of fiber
glass while she was there and
keeps the boat in Maine for
summer sailing.

SIee+ for Oyster Roast

DRY aroma of roasted oysters
and an oyster stew prepared
during the day by DR.. William
Tripplett, Gainesville, one of the
prime movers in the U. of Md.
Alumni Council.
DR.. Tripplett, in a chefs hat
and apron he'd whipped up him
self for the occasion, concocted
a stew that is still drawing
praises.
Among the Montgomery coun-
tians who dropped by during
the afternoon were Judge and
Mrs. Ralph C. Shure, Silver
Spring; Mr.. and Mrs. Walter H.
Norman, Bethesda; County
alumni Association President,
DR.. Roy H. Bridger and Mrs.
Bridger of Silver Spring; and
Mr.. and Mrs. William Candy of

While Col. Kricker led the re.

Mrs. Kricker extended the
warmth and hospitality of her
house to those whose toes and
fingers and noses lost their bout
with the elements.
The consensus was that a
"jolly time was had by all' even
though Maryland lost the game

blessed with wonderful friends"
I'VE have a wonderful group
here" she said. I'VE just have
a marvellous time working on
these houses for the Bazaar"
Whenever anyone heard of
some item of furnishing that we
could use in our homes, she
said, wed just get in the car
and CO." The group had to shop
extensively to find the minia-
ture furniture, dinnerware and
chandeliers for the White House
interiors. They also collected
trains and other toys for Christ
mas scenes in both the houses
they furnished.
Mrs. Curtis said her friends
met regularly in her basement,
gluing, painting, furnishing, and
decorating.
1--WE tried to be very authen-
TIC" she said, "and got a great
deal of assistance from the
White House Curators Office"
They also were given a special
tour of the White House to help
them with their replica.
In addition to reproducing the
interiors, Mrs. Curtis said 1--WE
tried to suggest activity in the
houses" Thus the White House
showed butler and maids set
ting the state dining table; the
Georgetown house showed chill
dren popping out of bed early
Christmas morning.
''It was like painting a pic
ture in three dimensions" she
explained.
In the living room of her
Potomac home, it becomes APP

nishings have a distinctive hand

the woman of the house.
Mrs. Curtis made the cherry
end tables and nest of tables,
also in cherry. She did some ex-
tensive repair work and refin-
ished an antique New England
deacon's bench and is currently
building a cabinet for the fam
lily hi-fi set.
Mrs. Curtis has worked so
long with wood she attributes
personalities to some. Cherry
she "likes the look of" but it's
stubborn" She finds walnut
and mahogany easier to work
with.

the use of tools and also how t.
handle an axe, so the boys cOuId

chores at their summer hom,

Last year Mrs. Curtis worked
with the Cub Scouts in tn,

One Christmas Marg aret
Curtis received from her father
in.law a beautiful set of Swedish
chisels. With delight she ex-
claimed, "just what housewife
needs!"
She wasn't being facetious.
Mrs. Huntington Curtis of Poto-
mac is one housewife who not
only knows a good chisel when
she sees one-she knows how to
use one, too.
In her basement workshop
Mrs. Curtis turns out almost
anything from children's toys to
wall paneling. Here are several
pieces of furniture in various
stages of refinishing, sections of
plywood, bits of lumber, used
paint cans, a wall lined with
hand tools, and some top-notch
power equipment - 6-inch
iointer, an 8.inch circular saw, a
lathe, a power jig and hand
drills.
Next to the workshop Is the
recreation room which Mrs.
Curtis finished herself ceiling,
walls and built in bOoEshelves
and closets.
A youthful brunette with a
knack for humorous understate-
ment, Mrs. Curtis blames her
unusual talent on Yankee self
sufficiency."
1--WE grew up in GOffstOwn, a
small town in New Hampshire,
where my father was a mechan-
ical engineer. Whenever we
wanted something, he used to
say, well, let's see how it's
made Then he'd suggest that
we go out in the garage and see
what was there to do IL with"
at seemed a lot easier" she
said, If you needed a ski press
to get a couple of two-by.fours
and make one."
Mrs. Curtis learned to sew
much the same way. I'VE learn
ed to work with our hands and
that carried over into other
fields" she explained.
Mrs. Curtis along with a
group of friends from the Con
cord Methodist Church have
Just completed what amounted
to a "crash program" of house
construction and decoration fol
their annual Tea and Bazaar
last week.
Last year the group built ant
automatically furnished three
house interiors; cottage kitch
en-, a Williamsburg living room
and a Victorian house.
This year, Mrs. Curtis said
we decided on Sept. l, we'd d.
the White House. The complet
ed three-foot replica of thu
North Portico entrance to thu
White House showed meticu
lous attention to detail both OF
the exterior and the two inter
Tor rooms furnished. The con
struction, woodwork, and turn
ing of the front columns, al
were done by Mrs. Curtis in he
basement shop.
The White House and an au

PARIS, Jan. 18 (AP).-The
French government announced
last night 1t planned new meas
ures to crack down on right
wing French extremists fight
ing President de Gaulle's AL
gerian policy. The terrorists
replied with more bombs.
Eighteen plastic bombs went
off in Paris and its suburbs
during the night after the
French cabinet met to deal
with the violent outbreaks
sweeping Algeria and metro
politan France. A 62-year-old
woman was injured and prop
erty damage was heavy.
A cabinet spokesman said
that the government would take
the offensive against the right
wing Secret Army Organiza-
tion-particularly in Algeria
but he gave no details. The
government already has as
sumed special powers under a
state Of urgency proclaimed
after last April's abortive up

said. ito refrain from any
precipitant action following the
clash of naval vessels which
took place on IA January. (The
attack actually occurred on
January 15). I would also re-
quest that your permanent
representative in New York be
instructed to discuss with me
the possibilities of a peaceful
settlement Of the whole ques-
ton in conformity with the
purposes and principles of the
charter Of the United Nations" !"
Indonesia Is Flexible"
Later Mr.. Thant talked with
Dutch Ambassador C. w. A.
Schurmann and Indonesian
Ambassador Sukardjo Wirjop-
ranoto. Informants said he
notified them formally Of his
cables to their governments.
Mr.. Sukardjo told newsmen

government favors negotiations
only If the Dutch government
commits itself in advance to

Mr.. de Quay cabled Mr.. 1 1idIit
Tuesday that his cabinet had
expressed readiness as early as
January 2 to negotiate with
Indonesis under your auspices
and without any preconditions. i"
He said the offer still stood but
he warned that his government
reserved the right of self
defense If Indonesia attacked
Dutch territory.
The Dutch repeatedly are
reconciled to giving the In

ritory. But apparently they are

in hopes of obtaining some as
surance in the negotiations
that the Papuan population of
West New Guinea ultimately
determine whether they will
be independent or Indonesian.
Hopes on U. N.
A dispatch from Jakarta said
Mr.. Sukarno's cabinet was pin
ming its last hope Of avoiding
war on the U. N. chief. The
cabinet was said to feel that
Mr.. Thant alone could manage
to bring Indonesia and the
Netherlands to a conference
table-something the United
States and other big powers
nave been unable to accom-
plish.
Mr.. Thant has been working
behind the scenes for nearly
two weeks on the New Guinea
crisis.
New Guinea is certain to get
a thorough going-over when
President Kennedy comes to
