Page8 THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, February 11, 1953 | No Legal Parking In 85 Foot Spot Even For VIP WASHINGTON (®—That 85-foot “No Parking” space in front of a presidential assistant’s house--with which some Democrats in Congress" had fun--wasn’t a reserved parking space for him at all. That’s what the Washington traf- fic police said Tuesday, adding that the signs were all their idea and not that of Sherman Adams, No. 1 aide to the President, And in any case, the signs have been taken away at Adams’ re- quest, leaving pull-up space for just one car in front of the Capitol Hill house. But some Democratic congress- men made it a merry tempest in the Capitol teapot while it lasted, Rep. Sutton (D-Tenn) said he had heard ‘‘this is a General Motors administration but I didn’t know General Motors had a car 85 feet long.” Rep. Hoffman (R-Mich) came to the defense, asking ‘‘Where do you want him to park, out in Maryland or Virginia?” The police said they had started ee the whole thing because of traffic congestion. Cars kept pulling up to the Adams house to let visitors out, they said, blocking a traffic lane as they did. So a traffic engineer recommended the parking bani so that cars could pull to the curb, As for legally parking there -- even Adams wasn’t allowed to. Civil War Vet Ex-Drummer Boy Is 106 Today DULUTH, Minn, Woolson is 106 today and he’s get- ting used to being ‘an institution. One of two surviving veterans of the Union Army, he’s as popu- a lar as an institution as Duluth’s aerial life bridge. Tourists have taken to stopping by for a hand- shake. He receives his guests with dig- nity befitting his age» And he'll recite “‘After the Battle, Mother” (all 10 verses) at the drop of an eyelash. “He gets hundreds of birthday cards every year and answers them all.

The ex-dummer boy, veteran of the dash for Vicksburg, thinks President Eisenhower is doing «a fine job and puts him in the class with Gen. Grant—his highest com- pliment. “Grant had good horse sense,” he said. “Ike has too.” Woolson was born in Watertown, N. ¥., and came to Minnesota when he was 14 to join his father, a former circus bandmaster. He thinks that is where he gained his musical talent. To this day, the senior vice commander of the Grand Army of the Republic can rap out a drum break or play a tune on his cornet. He became the top drummer of his company of the Minnesota Artillery back in 1864 by, as he tells it “knocking the block” off he dummer. Woolson lives with his son in law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. John Kobus. The daughter says her father needs no special diet and rarely is visited by his physician. Says Woolson: “It would be bet- ter for me if I had to work. I set here too much, I guess.” He's | ro ( — Albert | ri \Grandma Bandit Today’s Stock — Market NEW YORK ™ — The stock market displayed advancing ten- dencies today, but the influence | The start of trading was mixed, list improved somewhat.
