Weather Bureau Says Storm Was Not Expected

BARROW. Oct. (Srecial-The strong storm that blasted Pt. Bar row from the Chukchi Sea last Thursday was completely unex- pected. local weather bureau per sonnel report.
 The storm packed winds of 30 miles per hour, bringing Is foot waves and some ice crashing into this village and surrounding areas. Weather officials said the storm was unexpected, because radio propagation had been poor for sev- eral days previous; and Barrow had not received normal weather re- ports from Soviet Siberia.
 Not Relayed
 Pt. Barrow lies east of northern Siberia, and Russian owned Wrangel Island. The intense buildup that created the storm, worst in history here, was probably noted in Rus Sia, but its presence was not relayed eastward It is normal for the Unit ed States and Russia to trade wea- ther reports in the northern lati- tudes.

Petite SteWardess Wins $l4O,OOO
 Irish Sweepstakes

SEATTLE LR - Pretty Jan Pegg, 26, Northwest Orient Airlines stewardess, has a big problem to- day - figuring out what to do with S14O,OOO won in the Irish Sweepstakes.
 That's a problem.
 Jan thinks so, but already Uncle is helping her. The Internal Reve- nue Service has it all figured out that her income tax bill as a single gal will be $1O1 ,496
 Of course if she marries before next Jan. 1 she could file joint return and pay only $82,524.
 But that poses dilemma of sorts.
 She likes flying. She likes being single And if she married she'd lose her job.
 Which raises the question: Is it worth S18,872 to have a man around the house? She has no one in particular in mind now.
 Jan got the word in Honolulu Saturday the 100-7 longshot Ragu- sa, on which she held a sweep stakes ticket, was the winner. She wouldn't say on her return here, where she got the ticket because ''it might be against the law"
 She said she'd never won any thing before and had only been to horse race once in her life.
 The tall, red-haired stewardess has made her home here for two years, and for three years before that lived in Spokane. Her home town is Red Cloud, Neb.
 She said the windfall won't make any difference in her way of living. She "plans to invest the money wisely" and continue fly ing - for the time being, at least.
 Her next trip this week is a flight to Anchorage.

Civil War Reached Turning Point
 100 Years Ago

GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD, Pa. R - Drawn by the magnet of awesome history, throngs from north and south commemorate to- day the beginning of the greatest battle ever fought in the Western Hemisphere.
 On this day 100 years ago Gen. Robert E. Lees Confederates drove the hosts of Gen. George Gordon Meade across rolling countryside and through the streets of Gettys burg - only to find federal troops finally rallying on Cemetery Hill and Ridge.
 Three day later Lee, a beaten man nobly asserting, "it was all my fault" ordered a retreat - and the Civil War had reached it's turning point.
 The highlight of today's com memoration was a solemn after noon ceremony at the Eternal Light Peace Memorial overlooking the scene of the first days clash. Governors or other representa- tives of 27 of the 29 states whose men fought and fell here were on hand to lay wreathS at the monu- ment's base and otherwise pay tri- bute to the dead. Louisiana and Tennessee decided not to send a representative.
 Another event on today'S pro- gram was dedication by Postmaster General J. EWard Day of Gettys- burg commemorative stamp. Half gray and half blue, the stamp shows Federal and a man from Dixie locked in bayonet com bat.
 Throughout the three-day ob- servances "Vignettes of History will be given by amateur theatri- cal groups clad in reproductions of the dress of a century ago.
 For example there will be a playlet each morning at Devils i Den or Sharpshooters Roost. This was a place of violence and death which was won and lost many times by both sides during the carnage.

DEW Line Workers Continue to Leave Their Positions

WINNIPEG R - TWenty-seven civilian employees of the Distant Early Warning Line arrived here by plane Saturday swelling the elusive total of workers who have left the line during the last month
 William L a d y m n, Canadian vice president of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, said 34 arrived Friday night and more are expected.
 Ladyman, whose union is seeking certification as bargaining agent for the DEW Line civilians, said information deceived Saturday in dicated workers at one point on the line "are very unsettled" He would not rule out possi- bility of a walkout, but declined to pinpoint what he considered the major trouble spot.
 A group of arrivals interviewed here said, however, that the men manning the surveillance posts across the continents northland are aware of the importance of | their job.
 There was some discontent which involved the status of their position with the company and the bonus pay and travelling expenses avail able to them on arrival here.
 Earlier in June the Federal Electric Corp. of Paramus, N.J., civilian operators of the line, an nounced wage cuts after the US. Air Force reduced its payments in conformity with revised con- tract procedures ordered by US. Defense Secretary McNamara.
 The Canadian government sub sequently rejected the lower pay formula and re-instated the indi- vidual wage contract rates.
 Ladyman said the company has dismissed at least 100 men in the past few weeks who refused to sign a new individual contract for lower pay.
 Ladyman suggested confusion exists among the men about how they stand and mentioned an ''un- reliability of company statements" and an arrogant attitude in volving the supervision on the line.

 A turnout of only tens of thou sands of Romans was a contrast to the throngs who flocked to see the President in Germany and Ire land.
 It was a soaring hot day, with temperature in the 90S, and the traditional start of vacation time for Italians. Kennedy's motorcade from the airport was held up 10 minutes by heavy traffic on the road to the sea resorts.

Planting Too Close
Is Common Error

One of the most important
steps in a good landscaping plan
is to visualize what plants are
going to look like when they
grow up-how tall they will get
and how wide they will spread.
Most homeOwners usually start
with small plants in landscaping
their yards. It's very easy to
make the mistake of setting
them too close together, not
realizing how large they will be
when they mature. When young
plants are spaced well apart the
planting may look bare and in
complete for a year or so, but
will fill the empty spaces and
give a better balanced planting
for the future. If the planting
looks too bare at the start
"filler" plants can be used tenn
porarily, but they should be
taken out when the permanent
planting begins to spread out
and thicken.

Greenhouse Problem

Since size is a factor in the

recognize the normal space re-
quirements for some Of the
stronger growers. Perhaps at
the beginning this may not be
as. Objectionable as later on
when more and more interest
ing plants are being added to
the collection. Even so, while
the greenhouse may seem to be
only Partially filled in the fall
and winter, during the spring
when seedlings are being grown
for the garden, space soon is at
a premium.
An angel wing begonia can
soon have a spread Of two feet;
a split-leaf philodendron about
the same. Others that have al
most the same space require
ments are the Christmas cac-
tus, gardenia, azalea, Boston
fern, etc.
The growing interest in minia-
ture plants should appeal to the
owner Of the small greenhouse.
For example, a miniatur e
geranium hardly needs more
than 3 or 4 inches Of space on
the bench, whereas the stand
ard zonal geranium may need
8 to 10 inches or even more, but
this is only an illustration to
emphasize the importance Of
choosing plants according to
their space requirements.
