DIscRAcEFuL AND INExcusABLE WASTE.

TTyHESE are DAYS in which all good Deawaresns should
Il do everything that is practically possible to protect
and conserve The trees in Commonwealth. We should
have here definite and aggressive program with that
end In view.
II should apply with special force to trees near the
shore or the Delaware hay and to The beach OF
the Atlantic ocean al the lower end Of State.
In the past there been dssraceful and nexcusable
waste OF our aorea all sections Of the sate
but Il has been gratifying feature OF the situation that
such waste has affected groves which have lived and
thrved on our river bay and fronts For instance
we have Augustine PIER Collins Beach, Woodland Beach,
kits Hammock Bowers Beach, Slaughter Beach, Oak
Orchard Rehoboh Az each OF those places Of ta
chief charms the shade trees which have fought
winning light FOR life against elements to which most trees
and plants succumb II there any complaint at all II is
that some Of those places would be much attractive
and comfortable the groves larger and divers
fed as TO species.
We understand that in no waersde resort has there
been greater destruction OF tree life by agency
than at Rehoboh the chief seaside OF State II
that be true those who interested the future OF
that resort should lose time in putting tree con-
seryaton program effect II it be necessary for
the town 10 take over the wooded for park pur-
poses.
Armed with an axe or a crosscut saw a destroy
in few minutes work which It has taken Nature many
decades 10 do and destroyed il will require just
many decades for both Nature and man TO repair IN,
damage done.
These are facts which should be kept constantly min,
only by the people Rehoboth but by those wh
on or interests shore resorts or other prop
critics which are well wooded. They not only should
protect the trees which already exist but also should set
put young the end that the arborea beauties and
comforts OF such places may be enhanced rather Than
impaired.

to others it is. like a large number
Of Dutch surnames. simply derived

OF the founder and arc therefore
patronymics. it is we'll are plentiful
throughout New York and New

colorists had surnames at the time
when they came to the new world,
while practically all the English
colonists we're possessed OF these
convenient family designations.
