A Nichols? Worth of
Comment On This and That
BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS
United Pmi Future Writar
r?
Washington U.PJ The finest
ship this country ever built has
vp-v fow hunks of wood aboard
jmmm her. bpecmcai-
I er's chopping
block and a
couple of pianos.
That's the
word from the
Maritime A d
m inistration
and the U. S.
Lines, which
collaborated in
Haxme Nicboto putting the S.S.
United States together. The S.S.
United States w i 1 1 be mostly
steel and will cost around $70,
000,000. Launched last year, she
will be on the high seas in the
early summer.
The idea about no wood is
very sensible indeed. Steel
doesn't burn. Even the toilet
seats are of non-inflammable
plastic. The United States Lines
purchasing department is shop
ping around for checker boards
that won't attract a flame. There
will be about 30 of these aboard.
Contrasting Shades
Some of the samples which
have been submitted are a de
parture from the usual kinds,
which, as you know, are made'
of red and black squares. The
samples without any paper or
wood are of contrasting shades
of gray. ,
The new vessel is being fitted
for her maiden voyage right
now at Newport News, Va. .
Originally she was designed
as a troop ship. Then along came
the kar in Korea and there was
a wait to see if she would be
needed immediately. It became
apparent she wouldn't.
Can Be Reconverted .
So the outfitting for passenger
service began. But, the design
ers tell me that it would be but
a matter of days before the
United States could be dragged
off the waves and reconverted
for troop-carrying if the need
arises.
There have been stories about
the money we had to pay to
rent the "Queens'." the Eliza
beth and the Mary from Brit
ain during the war. They did
us a Kt of good, but the govern
ment estimates that the rental
on those mighty vessels amount
ed to a lot more than the $70,
000,000 price tag on our new
first lady of the seas.
Air-Conditioning for Dogs
Anyhow, the S.S. United
States will be a luxurious ves
sel. For one thing there will
Landscaping Job
At SOC Awaiting

Ashland! The coming of spring
will permit continuation of the
landscaping program at South
ern Oregon college, according to
Donald E. Lewis, business mana
ger. The project has been de
layed by inclement weather.
Progress ' has been made In
front of the new library build
ing with the moving of the Kerr
duplex apartments. The area va
cated and the present parking
lot will be graded and a broad
mall constructed from the li
brary to Siskiyou boulevard.
Work on Held
Extensive work is also planned
at the newly developed athletic
field, Lewis explained. Lowell
Ager is staking out the new base
ball diamond located on the re
cently annexed property adja
cent to Walker avenue. Fifteen
thousand yards of earth will be
moved to prepare the ground
and it is hoped that the area
can be seeded this spring.
Two new tennis courts will be
constructed adjacent to the pres
ent courts fronting Wightman
street They will be of asphalt
and enclosed with steel screen
similar to the present courts.
Concrete curbing will be con
structed around the quarter mile
track and the football field will
be reseeded this spring. Chet
Correy, superintendent of Lithia
park, is in charge of the pro
gram. .
CLASHES WITH LAW
Malone, N. Y. (U.R) A run
away truck had a real clash with
the law. First it struck an auto
mobile owned by Supreme Court!
Justice E. C. Lawrence. Then it I

be an air-conditioned compart
ment for dogs. Also, there will
be a dog-doctor aboard to fix
sore dog-nails, busted legs or
to smoke out painful cases of
canine bellyache.
And as for sea-sickness, the
builders claim there shouldn't
be any.
But that remains to be seen.
I've been aboard ship when even
the crew stuck a neck over the I
side.
