They're lined up outside their former WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, widow of the First World War U.S. president, og Thursday night at the age of 89. The former first lady, who married Wilson Dec. 18, 1915, when he was serving his first term as president, died in the stately house which Wilson gave her as a present. They moved A\in the day he left the White House in 1921. She had been ill in recent days of what her physician de- scribed as a respiratory ailment with complications. Rated one of the country's most beautiful women when she married the president in her home here, she retained into old age the charm and erect carriage of a grand lady. Edith Bolling Wilson was born Oct. 15, 1872, in Wytheville, Va. /\Her forebears were the Bollings of Virginia, one of the South's old families, and one of her an- cestors was said to be Poca- hontas, the Indian princess. SELLS BUSINESS Her first husband was Nor- man Galt, proprietor of an old Washington jewelry store. Galt died in 1908. Wilson was a widower at the time of his marriage, his first wife having died in 1914. The second Mrs. Wilson ac- companied her husband to the Versailles peace conference after the First World War and barracks near Goa capital. --(AP Wirephoto) Panjim, the Widow Of Former President Dies otherwise saw much history made. At one time critics raised a cry that she herself took too much of a hand in making his- tory. This was in 1919 when her husband lay ill of a stroke in ine White House. SCREENS CALLERS Mrs. Wilson undertook to screen his callers, decide what problems should be presented to him and what might be disposed of through consultation with de- partment heads. She said, however: "I, myself, never made a sin- gle decision regarding the dis- position of public affairs. The only decision that was mine was what was important and what was not and the very important decision of when to present mat- tegs. to my husband." Wilson died in 1924. Churches Rapped By National Paper TORONTO (CP) -- Churches which "mark off their progress in terms of their own comfort and convenience"' are criticized in an editorial in The Canadian Chuichman, national paper of the Anglican Church of Canada. The paper quotes a church report as saying: '"'This year we are putting foam rubber padding on all the kneelers, hanging a Plan Inquest Into Minden Fire Deaths LINDSAY (CP) -- An inquest will be held Jan. 18 at Minden into the Christmas Eve death of four persons in a fire at the two - storey frame home of Mr. and Mrs. James Stanton.

As the bells ring out the old year, the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas pass out of copyright and simultaneously the D'Oyly Carte family, whose opera com- pany has held the sole perform- ing rights since 1908, forfeits its power to preserve G and § in the time-honored 19th century mould, Barely 20 hours after the copyright bonds are broken, the curtain goes up at Stratford-on- Avon on a freewheeling tryout production by Salders Wells Op- era of Iolanthe--with newspa- per critics barred. The producers say cagily they have something up their sleeves, but nobody will know what it is until opening night. GUTHRIE WILL STAGE Five weeks later, on Feb. 8, London gets its first taste of modern-age Gilbert and Sullivan with Sir Tyrone Guthrie's ver- sions of HMS Pinafore and The Pirates of Penzance.

As the old order drew to its close, the D'Oyly Carte com- pany was packing them in with a repertory season at London's Savoy Theatre, traditional home of G and S. It was built in 1882 G&S Copyrights End New Year's out of G and § profits; so was the Savoy Hotel. The operettas are traditionally known as the Savoy Operas. "The last chance," said one London critic, "to see the works pure' and complete anc amo untouched by time. They de- serve to be seen." SIGH WITH RELIEF But most reviewers seemed to heave a sigh of relief that the 50-year-old spell was about to be broken and fresh air sweep] at last through the mummified production conventions. "Twenty days to freedom from D'Oyly cliches," exulted Noel Goodwin in The Dail» Mail. "Then G and § will have to face the bold, bad world on their own merits." Topic, the new weekly news magazine, slashed right and left at what it called "music's tough- est monopoly." The standards of those "ritualistic productions," it snorted, would hardly be tol- erated in a touring show. "Not a word of Gilbert's lib- retti has been altered, not even the once-topical jokes that litter the script like crumbling histo- ric monuments." HAVE MANY FANS Yet, as Topic 'reluctantly ad- mits, the D'Oyly Carte Gilbert and Sullivan has become a na- tional institution. Many fans would probably agree with the words of Bridget re a a ie ae enough for grandfather Richard is good enough for me." Not long ago, 500,000 Britons showed their affection for the old ways by signing a petition to let D'Oyly Carte retain the copyrights for ever. But Parlia- ment objected. Growth Sought By King's Lynn KING'S LYNN, England (CP) This East Anglia town, medie- val England's third largest port, has applied for 10,000 London- ers to put it back on the eco- nomic map The borough is the latest to sign an "overspill" agreement with London County Council, The agreements are long-term projects to ease the housing strain in crowded London and revitalize provincial industries. Despite the establishment of two large industries in recent years, the borough's economic expansion has barely kept pace with the departure of young people. E Officials 'estimate nearly. half the younger generation leave before they are 25. However, the influx from London, spread over 10 years, should reverse the trend. ; The newcomers will man the new industries King's Lynn hopes to attract. Should Britain join the Common Market the. town's excelient port facilities will be a key factor in Continen- tal trade.

Remote Control Firing Systems OTTAWA (CP)--After years of training, an RCAF jet fighter pilot may never get a chance to press his firing button, even un- der war conditions. The button probably would be pressed for him by remote con- trol from the ground. This is only one advantage of a new communications system in the air defence system known as Data-Link. ; RCAF headquarters said Thursday the RCAF's 66 CF-101 Voudoo jet interceptors are be- ing equipped with Data - Link One squadron of supersonic CF- 101s is already operational and the other four will be a full reudiness by the end of next summer. Under the present slow sys- tem of intercepting hostile air- craft, operators at radar sta- tio.s plot manually target air- craft and friendly interceptors. The interceptor pilot is given Cold Weather Freezes Civil Defence Sirens OTTAWA (P) -- The army, responsible for Canada's civil de'ence warning system, says it 1s having problems with its sirens. They freeze. The freezing apparently is caused by formation of ice around the moving parts caused whcn snow blows into the units, melts, and re-freezes, the army said Thursday night. Aithough the sirens were given rigorous tests in a cold chamber, shortcomings have shown up in use. "The army is continuing tests to ensure that the system will be in full operation under all Canadian climatic conditions," the statement said. An army spokesman said si- lent tests are conducted daily on all sirens across Canada, so frozen units are quickly discov- 1 ered and thawed. In Ottawa, 26 of 45 sirens had been found frozen at Peter- borough. Some 500 sirens were installed across Canada early last No- vember in time for exercise Tocsin B. About 60 failed to sounc. Nov. 14 when the exer- cise began. There also have been cases of sirens sounding for no appar- ent reason. Hospital Board Chairman Quits QUEBEC (CP) Premier Jean Lesage announced Thurs- day that Dr. George Hori, chair- iar of the board of Jean-Talon Hospital, and Mrs. Hori have resigned their posts with the 385-bed institution here. Mr. Lesage said he had re- ceived word of the resignation of bi. Hori and his wife from tne six-man board. Replacing them are Jean P. W. Ostiguy, stock broker, and Robert B. Major; insurance broker, both of Montreal. The resignations follow the report of a provincial commis- sior of inquiry into the organ- izauon and administration of Jean-Talon since it was founded in 1953 by Dr. Hori as a private institution. It became a public hospital in 1954. The commission recom- mended a complete reorganiza- tion of the hospital and urged that Dr. Hori no longer be part of its administration. In Montreal Dr. Hori said his devarture from the institution was "with regret," but he was resigning "for the good of the institution." Di Hori said he had operated the hospital to "'the best of my knowledge and with the help of devoted colleagues." his course, altitude, speed and so on by voice through radio} from the radar station. | The most interceptors a radar} operator can handle at one time is tive. Data-Link can channel infor- mation to 500 interceptors every 15 seconds. SAGE. DEVELOPMENT Data-Link has been made pos- sibie through the SAGE (semi- avtomatic ground environment) electronic control system. a SAGE unit--there are 21 in operation in the U.S. and one will be ready for operation near North Bay in 1963--gathers in- crmation from the radars and automatically works out a evuise for theinterceptor, manned or unmanned. Tnis information is channelled to the cockpit of the interceptor electronically. Twe Data-Link signals, which are series of numbers under- stood by the pilot, are displayed on the cockpit panel, Tne pilot merely follows the commands to reach his target. There are devices to avoid jam- ming, false commands and the like. Once the interceptor is close enough to target, its own radar locks onto the target for the kill by rocket or missile.
