Joined hands today in the greatest
manhunt here in years.
The search was for Paul Jaworski,
desperate Detroit gunman and gang
leader, who faces the electric chair
for the killing of payroll guard
in a highway robbery, and for his
two companions, John Vassbinder
and an unidentified gunman who en-
gineered the bold escape.
JaWorski's outside companion
visited the Allegheny county Jail
late yesterday to talk with the De-
troit bandit. He brought with him
five .45-caliber automatic pistols.
When the attention of the guards
was distracted he handed Jaworski
three guns. The latter gave Vass
binder, who was waiting nearby, one
gun and pandemonium broke loose

MAKE AND SAVE

Communities possess character
the same as individuals.
1t is gratifying thing to realize
that Milford possesses the character
istic of thrift to remarkable
degree.
With the building and loan as
sociation and the banks of this city
continuously spreading the gospel
of make and save" and giving a
service that is thrift educational in
its functions it can be readily seen
that a responsive public has been
created. The man who saves a GER
tain portion of his earnings every
month is not only wise, forehanded
man preparing for ease and comfort
and security in old age, but he is
also better citizen. No matter
what his motive is in adding to his
bank or saving account month after
month, he is a real builder of the
community. He is adding to the
store of liquid wealth OF the COM
munity, enabling the constructive
forces that are at work to have the
wealth to work with. If a business
man wants to build a new block a
citizen wants to build a home--a
corporation an office building--he
has helped to place the funds where
these plans can be materialized.
The educational value of these
make and save" institutions is of
incalculable good to the community.

badly and hub cap, had to have new

Strengthened out all right. 1t held
us up couple of hours, but every

accident said the Ford was in fault.
You know you can't get blood out OF

We went to Yosemite, it is won
derful. There are all sorts of sport
there, fishing, hiking, dancing and
mountain climbing. 1t is an ideal
place for vacation or honeymoon.
We took the inland route from
Yosemite to Sacramento and on up
to Portland. We saw the snow cover
ed Mt. Shasta. 1t is the most con-
spicuous of the western mountains
due to its position.
The scenery around Portland is
beautiful, the spruce trees and
hedges or roses everywhere. We
stopped there over night and we
happened to look in the telephone
directory and saw that Frank
Branch Riley had telephone. You
remember the man who lectured
in the Community Building on "The
Lure of the Great Northwest" So
we decided to call him, and tell him
we were in his audience that night
and how well we liked Portland, but
found he hadn't returned.
We came over the Columbia High
way and passed through that arched
road that Mr.. Riley showed that
night during his lecture. We saw Mt.
Hood and RATS of logs, floating down
the \river just as Mr.. Riley had
show them.
l am beginning to realize how
large this old U. S. A. really is. We
are now passing through the fif-
teenth state, Washington, out here
where true love exists. For any girl
that will live with a man out here,
surely must be crazy about him. Out
here their neighbors are about 80
miles apart and nearest town 70.
The section we passed through is
one of the greatest wheat belts in
the world. Just acres and acres of
wheat and nothing else.
We arrived at Spokane this after
noon. We expect to spend a few days
here before going to Yellowstone.
The people out here in the west
sure do boost their states. One man
said if Columbus had discovered the
Pacific coast instead of the Atlantic,
the Atlantic would not have been
known today, that people would
have been so content they would
never have bothered to adventure.
All along the highways as you go
out of one county into another there
will be a sign. you are here, why
not stay, you will be back"
So many changes have taken place
in the business section of Milford
since I left I am wondering if I
will find the First National on its old
site when I return, or on the other
corner in new building.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS

Each year, as the supply of lum-
ber becomes scarcer, we are show
ing increasing interest in our trees.
Arbor Day was observed, more gem
orally this year, perhaps, than in
any previous year the history of
the country. At least it received
more attention in the newspapers,
We are gradually coming to realize
that we must do something about
rur dwindling lumber supply. The
cutting down of our forests is not
good for the country, either finan-
cially or mentally. For there is
something divine and restful about
the contemplation of a great tree
And even the great floods which oc-
casionally devastate certain Sec
tions of the country, are blamed
in part, on the disappearance OF
our forests.
Of course the question is. what
are we going to do about it? All
sorts of plans have been offered. II
is generally admitted that the prob
lem is too big for individual solu-
tion, and must be handled by the
national or the state governments
perhaps through the cooperation OF
state and nation.
One plan has been suggested by
our present plan of road building
In this road plan the states and
the federal government match dol
lar for dollar in the construction
of important highways. Why, it is
asked with some reason, would il
not be possible for the federal and
state governments to cooperate in
the growing of trees, matching dol
! lar for dollar? The plan is certain
ly sound financially, and many ex-
perts declare that it is perfectly
feasible in other respects.
In our important tree growing
states there are thousands of acres
of poorly productive lands which
would be ideal for the growing o1
trees. These could be used for the
growing of forests by the state and
nation acting together. Yellow pine
in the South becomes marketable
iIIS1 I'LL ~ W lOl ~ YEARS. SIOW III
1t reuires longer for northern
pine and some of the hard woods
to reach maturity. But it is to be
remembered that in many of the
lumber states there are now great
numbers of trees from one to thirty
or forty years old which, under pro-
i per protection by state and ma
tional government, would begin al
most at once.
Therefore, when a reforestation
plan were put in operation there
would soon be a continuous supply
of lumber, as trees would be con-
stantly maturing. And it is to be
remembered that when land is
taken over for government forests
it is held permantely, and the ma
tured lumber is sold under strict
regulations which will protect the
younger growth.
Of course this program would
cost money at first, but~ft would be
sound Investment. The state and
nation match dollar for dollar for
roads, and when the road wears
out the investment is at end. Bnt
with forestry the situation is differ
ent. The older the forests get the
more valuable they are.
