Give fools their gold, and knaves

Let fortunes bubbles rise and fall;
^ t Who sows a seed or trains a
flower
Or plants a tree is more than all.
—John Greenleaf Whittier
Had it ever occurred to you that
the trend in the size and height
of trees and shrubs for landscape
planting is changing? This is due
tp the changing types of architec-
ture, where the trend is toward
story houses all over the coun-
try. This is causing great interest
in low shrubs under 8 feet high,
|0^r trees less than 30 ft. high, and
Qfo slow-growing low evergreens,
flflth these new homes it is no
hfoger necessary to plant trees
that may become 100-foot giants
sMfon smaller ones are better suit-
ed to the landscape scheme and
rtach maturity much sooner.
Ip many cities garden centers
are urging their members to try
■gw things which meet the latest
(Mpitrements of building and gar-
dening. It is said the extensive
Mtydcn club movement is doing
tiUjch to educate new gardeners j
and bring to their attention many
of the better and more unusual

Federated
Garden Clubs selected forty-five of
the best trees for that area and
each club devoted a few minutes
of study to them at every meetii«.
This would be a good practice
for arty section but for us it would
be an area study, and not state-
wide for there are so many differ-
ent altitudes, climates and types
of soil in our great state.
But there are many small trees
and shrubs that will adapt them-
selves to different localities und
situations, and tests are being
made of these trees and shrubs
with this particular thing in mind.
One tree now gaining nation-
wide publicity a a substitute
the American Elm is the Moraine
Locust. It is said to lx? of more
rapid growth than the Chinese Elm
■It is disease resistant, thornless
and eedless, and has improved
foliage which tays on the tree
later in the fall than that of the
older locut.
Like the Honey Locust the Mor-
aine Locust will stand extremes
of temperatures as well as drought
or flood. The parent trees are na-
tive to the western plains where
rainfall is light, yet the trees will
thrive in poorly drained soil.
This tree has hard wood and
will suffer little damage from wind
and snow. It' is a good lawn tree
because of its fine foliage and the
upward trend of its branches,
which do not over-shade the lawn.
Its demands are light and it dpes

is floribunda), is a native Ameri-
can plant of which we have heard
very little, but which, we are told
should be considered for almost
for every garden. It is a broad-leaved
evergreen shrub which also pro-
duces beautiful early spring flow-
ers. It js one of those low main-
tenance plants which when estab-
lished seem to be able to takcvcare
of themselves indefinitely. It is al-
so disease and pest resistant and
will grow in acid or lightly al-
kaline soil.
• The Andromeda has spikes of
small white, bell-like flowers in
the early spring. The buds are
formed during the sumrAer period
and are prominent all winter long
which adds to its attractiveness.
The plant does not grow to a great
height but has a wide spreading
habit with drooping branches.
Another choice flowering shrub
which should be better known is
Viburnum Frograns. During mild
weather, sometimes in January,
but usually in March or April, the
buds open into 2-incfi clusters of
delightfully fragrant flowers. The
flowers are very hardy and long-
lasting often blooming into May.
This plant has long been popular
in China, and although it has been
grown in America for several
years it is still not well known.
It is easily propogated either by
layering or from shoots.
Viburnum Fragrans makes a
vigorous, upright growth as a
young shrub, but after reaching a
height of five feet or so it becomes

Young Lodge imbimbed politics
at his grandfather's knee. The
elder Lodge sent the lad to Franck
for some of his early schooling,
and it was in those years that he
first gained proficiency in French
to go into the Amy.
He brought home six battle
stars and a Bronze Star. After
the war he ran again for the Sen-
ate. defeating the veteran Demo-
cratic incumbent, the late David

the United States Senate to be-
come, at 34, one of the youngest of
the junior members he met the
man who shaped his destiny.
One of the first elder senators
to greet the youthful, Lodge was
the late Arthur H. Vandenberg, the
Michigan Republican who was just
emerging as a top-drawer . expert
on America's role in foreign af-
fairs.
Vandenberg had been a friend of
the /young senator’s grandfather
and mentor, the late Sen. Henry
Cabot Lodge, He took the new
Massachusetts senator under his
wing.
That was only one in the chain
of events which shaped the career
of young Lodge in the direction of
his latest appointment, as the
United States representative to the
United Nations with the rank of
ambassador.
Lodge’s training for this job
goes aWay back. His father died
when he was seven and the young-
ster's upbringing was taken over
by his grandfather, then an influ-
at Harvard, Lodge majored in
French and won his degree in
After college he got a job on the
Boston Transcript, and then left
for the New York~Herald-Tribune,
first as a Washington correspond-
ent, then as an editorial writer.
By 1932 Lodge was back in Bev-
erly Mass. He was persuaded to
run for a seat in the House of
the Massachusetts L e g i s 1 a-
ture. Lodge won the seat easily—
his district was and still is strongly
Republican—but he never became
a real power in local state politics.
His committee assignment dur-
ing his four years in the Legisla-
ture was on the Committee on La-
bor and Industries. As chairman
if was his voice which carried
through the dominantly GOP Leg-
islature some of the principal la-
bor legislation. Among the bills he
steered through was the Massa-
chusetts Unemployment Compen-
sation Law.
That fact, as much as any other,
may explain his victory in 1936,

latest assignment is in the biggest
effort, to date, at world co-opera-
tion. His grandfather, Sen. Henry
Cabot Lodge was credited with
wrecking President Woodrow Wil-

jn his pre-World War II days in
the Senate Lodge was somewhat
isolationist too. "I was 100 per
cent wrong,” he has confessed.
It was back in November 1951
that Lodge first came out publicly
for a Republican draft of Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower for the
presidential nomination. He be-
came chairman of a national com-
mittee to nominate Esenhower,
and carried through with that job
to the July convention in Chicago.
In a sense Lodge helped push
through the Eisenhower nomina-
tion and election at the expense
of his own office. While he was
busy on the national campaign,
young John F. Kennedy, a Massa-
chusetts Democratic member of
the House, was just as busy back
home running for Lodge’s seat.

who say he really wasn’t too dis-

three times. In his new job he can

Ashe oncce said in a Sentate de-
bate on assignment of troops

decisions ought not to have to do
that these and countless other pre-
parations bear fruit in the form of
a spectacle which promises to be

the Capitol the 10-division parade

But great numbers of Americans
won't be satisfied with watching
the proceedings from their homes.
Already the vanguard of the hun-
dreds of thousands vyho will flock
to Washington for this 47th inaug-
uration is under way.
They’ve booked whole floors of
hotels. They’ve snapped up many
of the rooms which private home
owners, answering an appeal from
the Inaugural Committee, have
made available tq visitors. Even

Red Barberry is similar to the
Greer Barberry in every respect
except color. In early spring it has
a deep bronze-red color, which it
retains until fall, when it changes
to vivid orange, scarlet or red
shades.
And we have many flowering
shrubs which form a lovely par-

Enterprise Skipper Turns
Down Millions In Offers
By JOHN R. WARD
: SAN FRANCISCO. Jan 10 (ffL
You would never think this stocky
man with the gold braid on his
sleeves has turned down, without
regret, more than two million
dollars.
Capt. Henrick Kurt Carlsen. 38-
ycnr-old Danish-born skipper of
the Flying Enterprise, kept the
world in suspense last Christmas
season. .
- He stayed aboard his sinking,
storm-battered ship in the angry
Atlantic 13 days until an hour be-
fore she sank a year ago today.
Carlsen and Kenneth Dancy, mate
from the British tug Turmoil, were
rescued dramatically after they
leaped into the sea. Dancy had
hoarded the sricken vessel to help
Carlsen secure a towline that later
snapped.
. COMMERCIALLY, Carlsen was
hotter than a stock market tip on
U. S. Steel. Companies and individ-
, dais stumbled over each other in
, a rush to get him to sign contracts.
To their astonishment, he calmly
rejcctel all offers. He says he still
1s getting offers- and still turning
them down.
"Its hard to believe these peo-
. pK? are serious," he said in an
inter’view when his new ship, Fly-
Vtog Enterpr ise II. steam ed int o
Sao Francisco Bay from the Orient
. on A ‘round-the-world voyage.
“Not counting the offers that
would interfere with one another
or compete against each other
. J’vt had more than two million
dollars tffered for various things,”
he reported.
"But I’m ship captain. That s
’all I can do.
On his current voyage -carrying
general cargo to ports around the
globe—he was offered a movie
contract in Sigapore.
"And one fellow offered me an
estate on the Hudson River—if I
would agree to live on it and not
return to sea. Can you imagine
that?
It Would be hard to imagine Kurt
Carlsen forsaking the sea, despite
the cruel treatment it gave him a
year ago. He has been a skipper
for the Isbrandtsen Company since
1936. Before he was master of the
Flying Enterprise he was skipper
of the Flying Clipper.
Besides the sea he has two other
great loves- his charming family
and his consuming hobby as
amatpur shortwave radio operator.
Although, he has stoutly de-
clined to cash in on his heroi
devotion to his ship, Carlsen has
accepted medals and mementoes
and has written a personal "thank
you” note to everyone who made
him an offer.
Carlsen estimated that during
the past year he had written some
10,000 notes. That’s in addition to
the postcard he mails to each
amateur radio operator with whom
he communicates. His postcard
bears a colored picture of the
Flying Enterprise wallowing on
her side in high seas with two
tiny lifui'c-s standing on the funnel.
Probaoly is, too, if you’re not
cooking the electric way. Be sure
your kitchen is as modern as you are.
To make sure it is, install the range that’s
completely modern. Of course,
it’s electric.
