000 more for material and equip-
ment was met by the towiiB. Kon-
neth A. Haines, U. S, Department of

The spraying this year will serve

Activities
All because last summer Judge
Eugene A, Hudson had his shoes
shlned while vacationing in Nan-
tucket and John Grangrade, 12-
year-old Nantucket resident, did
the shining, it happened John re-
ceived 10 cents for the shine and
25 cents additional for .himself,
probably because he gave such u
good shine. It led to a conversation.
The judge learned that John and
several of his playmates had never
been off their Island. He decided to
do something about it.
Last week 14 Nantucket boys and
girls , accompanied by the superin-
tendent of Nantucket schools, Mr.
Richard Porter, and chairman of
the Nantucket School Committee,
Mr. Stuart Day, and others, came
to Boston on a tour arranged by the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company, of which Judge Hudson
Is captain commanding.
On the train the youngsters rode
for u time in the engineer's cab, a
big thrill. In Boston, they visited
the State House, the Governor 's
office , the House of Representa-
tives in session . City Hall ami the
Mayor 's office, Bunker Hill Monu-
ment , the Navy Yard , the airport.
They went Into the department
stores. They lunched at Durgin and
Park's, They toured Lexington and
Concord. They rode in the swan
boats. Thoy saw Boston Common,
Its pigeons and squirrels.
The children stayed at the Park-
er House on their four day visit.
Along with Judge Hudson, Judge
Abraham l'inanski , also of the
Superior Court, whose guosl the
former had been on Nautucket, was
responsible for the children 's mem-
orable trip.
