City Joins Rite Marking 29th Armistice Day
(Continued from Page One) expected large turnouts of holiday crowds for swimming and picnics. At Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, President Truman was to lay a wreath at the Nation's most famous grave — the tomb of the unknown soldier. Cabinet members, military and naval leaders, supreme court justices and members of Congress were to participate in the traditional ceremonies on a peaceful Virginia hillside, overlooking the capital. Following the wreath-laying, the ceremonies were to continue in the cemetery's amphitheater, where Navy Secretary John L. Sullivan was the principal speaker. Others on the program, sponsored annually by the American Legion, were Legion Commander James F. O'Neil and Mrs. Lee W. Hutton of Excelsior, Minn., national president of the Legion Auxiliary. The ceremonies at Arlington began at 11 a.m., EST, the hour when the Allied Armies of World War I ceased fighting on Nov. 11, 1918. Before the day is over, more than 90 other wreaths will be put beside the President's flowers as patriotic organizations throughout the country add their tribute to the unknown soldier. Mr. Truman, because of work preparatory to the special session of Congress next week, did not plan to stay for the speeches. It was just 26 years ago today that the body of the unknown soldier was interred at Arlington. To the accompaniment of a steady cannon salute from nearby Fort Meyer, the flag-draped caisson rolled through the streets of Washington to the National Cemetery. While President Harding and his cabinet looked on, the casket was lowered into its final resting place. A gleaming white marble tomb was erected one year later. National leaders took the occasion of Armistice Day to remind the public that this country should work harder than ever to avoid another war, lest the nation again suffer a heavy loss. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, chief of naval operations, advocated use of American armed strength to "preserve that peace for which this nation paid such a high price in two wars. "Let us amplify and rededicate the strength inherent in our Land, sea and air arms to the principles of a democratic America maintained in a world of enduring peace," he said in his armistice date statement.
LIONEL BARRYMORE enacts his popular role of Dr. Gillespie in M-G-M's new medical drama, "Dark Delusion," which opens at the Gables Theatre today. Lucille Bremer and James Craig are also starred.
Oil Producing Tree Rates High As Ornament, Too
Relatives of the Chinese Tung-Oil tree claim fame chiefly as potential producers of the quick-drying oil used in the manufacture of varnishes and paints. But Fairchild Garden experts want it known that at least one of the family — the Bagilumbang tree — deserves a spot in anybody's garden, for purely decorative reasons. To show they know what they're talking bout, they offer in evidence at the Gardens, immediately south of Matheson Hammock on Cutler Road, a handsome specimen of the Bagilumbang — or the Aleurites Trisperma Blanco, if you want to get technical. The eight-year-old fruiting specimen is well-shaped, has reached a height of 28 feet and appears to be thriving in south Florida climate and soil. A tropical plant, the species is native to the Philippine Islands and threatens to overtake its first cousin, the Chinese Tung-Oil tree as an oil producer. Various analyses of the yield from fruits of the Bagilumbang have indicated that the oil is equal or superior to that gained from the Tung-Oil, but horticulturists warn that considerable more research would be necessary before extensive plantings are undertaken in South Florida. Thousands of acres of the Chinese Tung- Oil planted in Northern Florida and the Gulf States are now producing on a commercial scale.

Danish Visitor Loves Sun, But Longs For Her Skiing
(Continued from Page One) a half month visit to her Danish homeland. The two have ten brothers and sisters, whose homes are evenly divided between Denmark and America. But Miss Schmitt is currently destroying the balance, making seven of the family here and only five at home. Skiing Her Avocation The 12 are the offspring of a Danish architect named Eli Schmith, who, with his death, left considerable holdings in Copenhagen real estate. Miss Schmitt's vocation has been the administration of the family properties, but her avocation has been skiing. The woman, who has perhaps come farther than any vacationist here to enjoy Coral Gables' sunshine and palms, is in her thirties and speaks French, Norwegian and Swedish in addition to a fluent English colored slightly by her native Danish tongue. She's full of plans for her visit to America. She wants to stock up on U. S. kitchen utensils. "There is nothing comparable to the American kitchen in Denmark," she says wistfully. She wants to visit Cuba. She'd like to spend some more time in New York and Washington. Of her own country, she says, "They haven't got anything. The food is sad." Only Eggs and Cheese The only foods not rationed in Denmark today are eggs and cheese. The milk and butter which the dairy farms of the tiny land produce go mainly to England. Meat is extremely scarce, so is sugar, she reports. Miss Schmitt is crazy about Florida. "I've never seen anything like Coral Gables," she exclaims. "It's unbelievable." "The city beautiful," she calls Coral Gables, in language that she may have learned from Brother-in-Law Jensen, a leading real estate man here. But, nevertheless, she expects to leave Florida sometime during the winter, at least for a few months. "I want to go skiing at Lake Placid," she explains.
Bus Drivers Held After Party With 2 Ponce Girls, 15
(Continued from Page One) she failed to return at dinner time Sunday and called County Solicitor Taylor. On Monday morning, Coral Gables Detectives Delbert Edwards and Hough McGough placed the two busmen under arrest at the request of Miami police. A short-handed transportation system succeeded in putting off Clemons' arrest long enough to have him finish his Monday route. When he stepped out of the drivers' seat at 4 p.m. yesterday the police were waiting for him. Goldman has been arrested earlier. Both girls told their story to Judge Walter H. Beckham in Dade County Juvenile Court. They admitted being with the two bus drivers. Under questioning, both Goldman and Clemons also said they had been with the girls, said Detective Schwelm. The charge against Goldman, which is a felony, will be aired in Criminal Court, which meets Dec. 9. Clemons' case may also go before that tribunal, said County Solicitor Taylor.
