Send the family to work Seagoing Station Wagon Highlights National Motor Boat Show at N. Y. By DOC QUIGG United Press Correspondent New York IP It had to happen the latest dreamboat on the horizon is a true "sea going station wagon," with a powered convertible top and power seats that turn into bunks. It's not on the market. It was just whipped up, at a custom-built cost of 518,500, "to The Hollywood Scene Hollywood (IP) Sarah Churchill was characterized by friends today as a lonely, timid woman who is as out of place in British society circles as she is in the Hol lywood whirl. "The name Phiirrhill is a ?M big cross to EJsa&iSi bear, and she ernun Scott Tc n n w it " says a fellow worker. "She never knows if people are in terested in her or in her name." Another associate explains it this way: "Sarah is an intro vert who has wrapped herself in an acting career to over coma the shadow of the tre mendous personality of her father." The 44-year-old daughter of the great English statesman avoids talking about her fath er, especially to the press. When she gives interviews, which is infrequently, she us ually opens with the flat state ment, "I'll talk about any- and to school with an extra egg under belts. Seasonal Vegetables. Plenty of menu variety in cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, lettuce, celery, dry onions, potatoes, sweets and yams. Try turnips, .rutabagas, parsnips and Win ter squash for a change. Spin ach and turnip greens provide that needed green vcegetable. Meat Market Offerings. Why not enjoy corned beef with cabbage? Chuck b e cf roast with root vegetables? Beef liver with bacon and on ions? A pork roast with yams and fried apple rings? Frank furters with sauerkraut and corn bread? A meat loaf with tomato sauce or a can of mushroom soup poured over during last 15 minutes of cooking? Any favored fish fil lets with a good Tartar sauce? Other Plentifuls. Dried peas and beans, packaged prunes, dates, canned fruits and vegetables. thing except my father." Was Distressed Of her rhubarb with sher iff's deputies this week, the red-haired green-eyed actress says, "I was greatly distressed but I'm sure I said nothing against the United States." A close friend believes Sar ah's apparent rancor toward this country is based upon her treatment here. "When Sarah's in Europe she's treated like royalty. She has a chauffeur and people pay her tremendous respect. In the United States she is just another actress. She dres ses like an ordinary house wife, and her austere British upbringing keeps her from mixing with Hollywood char acters." One co-worker said Miss Churchill's difficulties in mov ieland stemmed from her drinking. Moods Vary "Actually, she is just an occasional drinker. She only drinks in spurts," he said. "Her moods fluctuate. At one moment she is extremely gay, sffable and charming, and then a few minutes later she becomes quiet and pensive." Miss Churchill spends her free time on lonely stretch of beach drawing and painting in water colors. She shuns the British colony in the mov ie capital. An extremely nervous per son, Miss Churchill's large eyes reflect an unsureness. She frequently touches her long red tresses with her right hand, pushing errant strands away from her face. Twice now the actress has made headlines first in 1953 wher she refused to observe a liquor curfew . in a ham burger joint, and again this week when she was arrested for common drunkenness. On both occasions she be rated the United States. The general feeling in Hol lywood is sympathetic, and as one spokesman said, "She's a real trouper and these things happen to a lot of peo ple in this crazy, mixed-up town." inspire some free thinking for the future on the part of the boat builders." Nevertheless, it's a top feature of the 48th annual National Motor Boat Show, which opens tonight at the New York Coliseum. For all those who like to move upon the face of the deep in recreation craft, the show this year has a record fleet of 455 boats of all sizes, shapes and dispositions. This includes such items as a $60, 000 deep-sea fishing craft, the first completely portable re frigerator, and the first diesel outboard motor. Millions Participate The industry asserts that 35 million American men, wom en and children participated in boating last year in a rec reational flotilla totaling 7, 071,000 craft. They are estimated to have spent overall, on all phases of their sport including insur ance and club memberships, nearly $2 billion during the year. Quite a sport, eh? Your correspondent was escorted over the station wagon by Howard F. Larson, sales director for Evinrude, which makes motors, net boats. Larson commissioned the building of the craft, for demonstration use. "We just thought we'd adapt some of the reasons why peo ple are buying auto station wagons," he said. "Right now, a lot of families drive to the water in station wagon com fort and then have to sit on hard board seats on their boats." Describes First Convertible The water going station wagon has a cabin top with sliding plate glass windows that telescopes into itself to leave the passengers with only the sky above them "The first really convertible boat," Larson said. An electric motor does it. A flick of a button also raises or lowers each of the four spring-and-foam-rubber seats, which can fold into two bunks that are separated by a curtain. A large mirror and drawers front the forward bunk. The 21-foot craft, which is either a runabout or a day cruiser depending on whether the cabin is retracted, features stowed-away eating tables, a stowed two-burner stove, and airplane type thermos bottles in dry-ice refrigeration.
