NOW, a word about the word threshold. It holds the key to today's study,” Frankly, we're never going to get beyond the’ threshold. We're not going to plunge into thé sea of evergreen - knowledge, we're going to window shop, more or less. The reason for that re ‘that there are as many different types’ of evergreens as there are pipe” tobaccos, more than 500. Of course, most of us never come in contact with all the 500 ‘types. We just run into the ones that shed their needles.

Joy Unconfined
By Andrew Tully
WASHINGTON, Dee. 20—Positively. there ‘will be no rolling-pin throwing contests during Inaugural Week. Likewise, cooch dancers will oper, ate withéut the official imprimatur, - But if you like good wholesome fun, Washington will be as good a place as any to fall flat on your face during the several days beginning Jan. 18, In short, merriment will be unconfined. Only watch where you're walking so you won't/stumble over any bodies. For a while, it looked like the White House was going to put the cooler on all those nice plans of the inaugural committee. Maj. Gen. Harry Vaughan, who stands behind President Truman to give the executive office that military look, told reporters the boss wanted more dignity.
No Republicans in Chains NONE OF THAT extravaganza stuff, said the general, No steam calliopes, even if they did come from Mr. Parkleys State of Kentucky. No captive Republicans behind the LT “A little less revelry, If you please, said General Va You could have ‘knocked over people like Melvin D. Hildreth, of the committee, with a drum major when they heard that. Didn't General Vaughan know, asked Mr. Hildreth, that the steam calliope was 80 years old and the last one ‘fhe know it was drawn by six horses and was fed by a half ton of coal? Mr. Hildreth went looking for a vacant huff to go into. Then the President himself spoke up. Never mind Harry Vaughan, he told the press. Mr. Hildreth’'s plang are all right with me. That obvi-
gusly included the calliope and the musicians who!
tooted on horseback. Let ‘er, said the boss, rip.
So that settled that and all the committee] |
chairmen breathed a sigh of relief and went about their business.
Not One Dull Moment
S0 FAR, the committee has arranged to have something doing every minute for Tuesday the 18th through Friday the 21st. There'll be the Truman-Barkley Club dinner to start with, then the electoral college dinner and a gala concert— featuring three hours of entertainment directed! by James C. Petrillo. There'll be the big inaugural! parade on the 20th, followed by the presidential reception in the late afternoon, and the inaugural ball that night. Then, on Friday, there'll be open house at°all the embassies, where the silver will .be locked up, Mr. Truman will lead the parade but not, as William Henry Harrison did, on a horse. There will be a crack, 16-man motorcycle team from the Miami police department. ~ There will be that] -band that: plays on horseback-from- Texas; natur< ally. There will be the Washington Redskins football team band. There will be state floats—but only from the states which Mr. Truman carried, of course. You have to draw the line somewhere. For the swearing in ceremonies on Capitol Hill, they've built a grandstand with $79,000 the Republicans appropriated when they thought they were going to inaugurate a President. This is for big shots like Congressmen and their relatives, Supreme Court justices, lobbyists, and the third assistant charge d'affaires of Afghanistan, People can go, too. Just stand anywhere.
Muddy Problems
By Frederick C. Othman
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20—~There are too many Mud Lakes in this nation to suit our government's official pamers of things and places. All are to get newer, prettier and more romantical names. Unléss, of ¢ourse, there are too many howls from diehards who like their Mud Lakes. - These muddy -and -others -as urgent will be considered Jan. 6 when Secretary of Inte-
...rior Cap XKrig's board of geographic names decides
what the natives shall call their ponds, creeks,
so rises aad lakes,
_ For months the specialists: a * nomenctutive have been worrying with these complicated questions and if you don’t think they're tough, consider the creek that runs into the river in Lagrange County, Ind. The citizens there-have been ealling this creek Pigeon Biver, ... ...... an
Hoosiers Call It Pigeon | Creek
THE RIVER they have been calling “Pigeon Creek and if the Hoosiers can’t tell a. river from a ¢reek, the Department of Interior claims it can. Pigeon River henceforth will be a creek, and, of course, vice-versa. : In Maine, where a number of Mud Lakes are about to receive new names, the officials also considered the church ladies and a crooked body of water leading from Kniibble Bay to Hockamock Bay. The ladies have been calling it"Great Hurl Gate; their less-sensitive husbands have called it Great Hell Gate. Washington figures they're both wrong. It's decision: Lower Hell Gate. Near the town of Naples, same state, the ladies won. The small lake there which long has been known as Brandy Pond, henceforth will be called Bay of Naples. Maine's west branch will be renamed Poorhouse Cove and her Davis Island will be called Witch Island.

Amaung Lake and the Michiganders can ask an Ottawa Indian how to pronounce it. Michigan ‘also has a Mud Lake which will be called Blood Lake. Not because it's red, but fo ~honor.one Charles Blood,.an early. settler. A second Mud Lake in Michigan will be called Kemperpan J Lake and a third, Kempf Lake.

too; and that name also seems to be mud. All the|
Lost Lakes get Indian names. Nebraska has a West Branch Long Pine Creek, which strikes the government as a long handle for a small stream; its new name: Bone Creek. As for Nebraska's Pine Creek, that’s not long enough. It will be called Long Pine Creek, for reasons which the Department of Interior finds good and sufficient. That brings us to a cheesy problem in Colorado, Here the South Platte River was dammed awhile back to form a lake. Some people called it Cheese-
