OBITUARIESPAUL L. WIENER, PLANNER ■ ARCHITECT

Paul Lester Wiener of New YorkDANIEL GRIMSHAW,WON NAVY CROSS

Daniel E. Grimshaw, 68, a life-long resident of East Hampton, died in Southampton Hospital on Tuesday after a lengthy illness. His home was at 34-B Pantigo Road.

Mr. Grimshaw, the former owner of the Grimshaw Plumbing Supply Company, was the subject of a Star Interview last March. During the interview Mr. Grimshaw told of amusing incidents in his childhood in East Hampton and of his life on the water as a young man; as a decorated (Navy Cross) member of the Coast Guard in the First World War: and as a Chief Mate before the age of 20 in the Merchant Marine. He had sailed around the world three times. In 1923, he married Iva Gandolfo and went into the oyster business with his father, on Gard­iner’s Bay.

“We all used to help each other in those days. If you needed to put up a spar or something, you’d just go along and the first five or six fellows you met, they’d come back with you and do the job. We had a flourishing business with the oysters, 60 to 80 bushels we’d ship into the city sometimes. Those were great times all right," Mr. Grimshaw said in the interview.

In the Second World War, Mr. Grimshaw re-entered service and re­turned to his home town in 1947 to help his father run a plumbing busi­ness, from which he retired in 1964.

Mr. Grimshaw, a member of the Masons, is survived by his wife, Iva. Funeral services will be held at the Yardley and Williams Funeral Home, East Hampton on Friday, at 11 a.m.

The Rev. Samuel Davis of the St. Luke's Church will officiate. Burial will be in Cedar Lawn Cemetery.

JAMES C. SIMMSJames C. Simms, 66, of 60 Miller

Lane West, East Hampton, a life­long resident of this area, died on Tuesday at the Southampton Hos­pital after a brief illness.

Mr. Simms was born in Sag Har­bor, but had lived in East Hampton ever since his marriage, in 1922, to the former Doris Monsell of East Hampton.

For 20 years he worked in the Western Union Telegraph Laboratory in Water Mill and became a tool and die maker for the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation in Sag Har­bor when the the laboratory closed down.

Funeral services for Mr. Simms will be held at the Yardley and Williams Funeral Home, East Hamp­ton, on Friday at 1 p.m. The Rev. Max Schwindt will officiate. Burial will follow at the Cedar Lawn Ceme­tery.

Mr. Simms is survived by his wife, Doris; two brothers, Raymond and Donald, both of Sag Harbor; a daugh­ter, Mrs. Donald Reutershan of Port Washington; and two grandsons.

at Gurney’s Inn, Montauk, on Tues­day. She had been living there for the last three years.

SCHOOL BOARDContinued From Page 1

that there was no change anticipated in the “ heretofore excellent relation­ship between the Board and the faculty.

The Board rehired Elmer Rost as full time custodial worker as of Dec. 1. Mr. Rost was employed by the school until last spring.

An estimate of $703 from the American Flagpole Equipment Com­pany was accepted by the Board for fabrication, delivery and installation of a flagpole to be placed in front and to the west of the sign on the high school’s front lawn which was donated by the class of 1966. The Class of 1967 left $800 to be used for the purchase and installation of the new flagpole, it was reported.

After an involved discussion of the discrepancies noted in the final re­quisition of John A. Young, general construction contractor for the sec­ond High School addition, the Board moved to refer the matter to its at­torney, Saul Wolf.

Credits ExpectedAccording to Mr. Meeker the Board

expects to be credited with a steel allowance of $350, for $50 saved in a substitution of roofing materials, and for $535 from the architect’s claim for “ extra work” which he said was the result of the contractor’s failure to complete the job at the agreed time.

In other business Carl F. Johanson, elementary school principal, notified the Board that, through Town Coun­cilman R. Thomas Strong, the Town had allotted the school $600 for a winter recreation program. Mr. Johanson said the money would be used for baton twirling for girls and tennis lessons for girls and boys in the spring.

Mr. Johanson also reported that he had met with the East Hampton Organization for Community Action to exchange a pledge of support be­tween the school and the Organiza­tion.

The meeting was then adjourned and the Board reconvened in execu­tive session.

midity-control devices. The general use of sprout inhibitors will tend to keep stored potatoes in sound and salable condition.

Packing Sheds Some 40 or more central packing

sheds have been in operation since early August, and most of them will continue working until late March and April. Packers, too, have had their problems, mostly arising from a labor shortage. However, they have managed for the most part to meet trade requirements for fresh table- stock, turning out a full range of consumer and larger packs of both dry and washed potatoes.

The Long Island Agricultural Marketing Association, headquarter­ed in Riverhead, has estimated that the area will market no more than 17,500 500-cwt. loads during the shipping season, which will probably extend into May of 1968. Through Nov. 13 about 6,050 loads had been shipped. Due largely to conflicting deals and the general market situ­ation, current movement is about 2,000 units behind 1966.

Receivers Satisfied Leo Rosko, president of the

LIAMA, who heads his own packing and shipping company based in Southampton, commented this week that receivers appear to be well satis­fied with “ Long Islands.”

“ We’ve had no frost or water dam­age,” he said, "and supplies are now coming out of storage in good condi­tion. Most of the dubious lots are long gone and I anticipate storage quality will be generally satisfac­tory.”

Mr. Rosko said Katahdins and other round whites seem to be run­ning smaller than last year, with a lower percentage of jumboes. He declared Russet Burbanks are show­ing better size, shape and overall quality than was the case in 1966.

While the thought of reading a gardening book at this time of year probably only occurs to those who think of reading gardening books perennially, I was pleased to discover one chilly day recently that “ The Salty Thumb," published last August by the Montauk Village Association and compiled for them by Miss Con­stance Greene and Mrs. George Potts, made compelling reading.

I read it from cover to cover much as if it were a detective story, as in some ways, of course, any “ field guide” is to a novice who hopes to have some of nature’s mysteries dis­closed.

Subtitled “ Your Garden by the Sea,” the book seeks to “acquaint or re-acquaint the reader with some of the innumerable (plant) species ob­served that survive despite the ex­tremes in such a varied terrain and climate.” Although it hopes to help gardeners from other areas learn to use some o f their old favorites here successfully, it has enlightening emphasis on indigenous growing things and some wise conservation advice for new property owners.

The book covers almost every kind of garden that East Enders might pursue, with even some suggestions for the vegetable garden, and al­though it makes no claim that its plant lists are complete ones they seem to this novice at least to be quite exhaustive.

In addition to this, the book has a "charm that comes from a personal approach to the landscape from such personages, in addition to Miss Greene and Mrs. Potts, as Margaret Cousins, who edited it and wrote an introduction that made me long for blackberry, and wild grape vines in

DBOOKS

my front yard; Uta Hagen, who con­tributed notes on her herb garden that determined me to try one of my own some day; and Hi Sobiloff, “Montauk’s Poet Laureate,” whose poem, “ My Wild Flowers Anony­mous,” is included with the section on wildflower gardens.

Sections of the book also include some of the unexpected. One on edible wild plants; another on what, when, and how to pick materials for dried winter bouquets; and a third on “ weekend” gardening in pots, boxes, and baskets are a few ex­amples.

And while the book was done simply it is done attractively, with a handy spiral binding, pleasant green type, and excellent sketches by Nancy Sears-

“ The Salty Thumb” is dedicated to “Mrs. Richard T. Gilmartin as MVA President 1965-6-7-8, for her inspira­tion and direction. . .” Among others whose assistance is acknowledged are Mrs. William K. Frank, Mrs. Jane Gilmartin Gilchrist, Robert H. Brew­ster, Frank L. Dickinson, Mrs. Perry B. Duryea Jr., Mrs. Elsa George, Eugene D. Haas Jr., Mrs. Eva Schult- zel, Louis Semerad, Ellis Winters Jr., Von Miklos, and Frank M. Borth.

This soft-coverea, more than 100- page book is for sale for $2.75 at a number of florists, nurseries, and book shops. It can also be purchased from Miss Greene, as can note paper featuring the book’s line drawings.

It would make a fine Christmas present for anyone w ho loves a garden or wants to have a garden to love, and a perfect “ welcome” pre­sent for those people from out-of- town who have just bought the lot next to yours. H. S. R.

Steam Train Runs This Weekend

The Sag Harbor & Scuttle Hole Rail Road Company’s special steam powered excursion train will chug from Jamaica to Montauk this Sun­day. A similar excursion trip plan­ned a month ago behind steam loco­motive Number 60, formerly of the Great Western Railway in Colorado, was cancelled because of inadequate subscriptions.

The Bridgehampton railroad com ­pany said in a recent release that it was still several thousand dollars short of the break-even point, but was determined to run the unique excursion trip in any case.

The 15-car special, which will also have an SH & SH opened-end obser­vation car, will take passengers aboard at Jamaica, Babylon, South­ampton and at East Hampton.

Tickets may be bought on the train. Here is the schedule from Bridgehampton to Montauk and back: Eastbound Westbound12:24 a.m. Bridgehampton 3:03 p.m. 12:35 p.m. East Hampton 2:39 p.m. 12:51 p.m. Amagansett 2:32 p.m.

1:13 p.m. Montauk 2:10 p.m.The instructions for the “ Steam­

in ’ ’ read in part: “You w ill notice that your ticket is assigned a specific car number. These car numbers will be posted in the end windows of each car. Please remain in your as­

signed car until your ticket stub has been lifted. You may then wander through the coaches at will.

“ In the middle o f the train will be one of the LIRR’s Coach Club Cars, serving sandwiches, soda, coffee and other items o f light refreshment, for a reasonable price.

“Dress should be very casual and comfortable. The journey is long and locom otive soot is pari of the nostal­gia. Nobody is more uncomfortable under such circumstances than a young lady wearing high heels and a white dress. Come as if you were attending a picnic or a football game.”

Harbinger?

SNOW OWL from the Arctic appeared on the Maidstone Club golf course last week. The arrival of these large birds is popularly believed a sign of a hard winter io come, for they apparently move south when the lemmings and other small animals they prey on in their usual habitat are buried in deep snow.
