WARNS CUTTERS OF HOLLY
TREES

State Forestry Department Seeks To
Prevent Further Diminution
OF Maryland supply
A plea for the cutting of Christmas
holly In such a way as not to damaSe
further Maryland's already diminish
ed source OF supply has been issued
by the State Forestry Department
w. J. Quick, Assistant state For
ester, said holly trees have been ex-
terminated already in large areas OF
Maryland adjacent to Baltimore and
Washington, and that improper
methods of cutting threatened to ex-
tend the denuded area.
Cautious Pruning Urged
Instead Of allowing their holly
trees to be stripped Of all their
branches. or to be chopped down,
owners should insist on the kind o.
cautious pruning that will keep the
tree in shape to yield future haryests'
he advised.
He announced the State Forestry
Department would cooperate with
owners Of woodland tracts, by pro-
viding them with placards warning
off trespassing holly-seekers and By
Aryto In, 40
their holly when requested.
The department also Is acting as
clearing house for customers who
wish to buy holly direct from grower,
instead of purchasing it from persons
who may have obtained 1t by waste
full or illegal methods.
At the request of the Garden Clubs
Of Maryland. 1t will take orders from
purchasers and send them to growers
who will cut their holly under the
supervision of field officers of the
Forestry Department.
The field officers will inspect the
method of cutting and the quality OF
holly furnished, and will see that
every customer gets a well-packeo
box containing fresh-cut holly with
plenty of berries The service Is avail
able to dealers as well as to private
customers.
Mr.. Quick said this plan has been
followed for three years and has CIV
en- general satisfaction Orders for
holly should be given at the latest
by December Is, he added.
Penalties Prescribed
The placards will be furnished to
any landowner who will write the
State Forestry Department and give
the size of the tract he wishes to pro-
tect. Each placard warns trespassers
that the unauthorized cutting injur-
ing or destroying of any tree or
shrub are punishable with a $25 fine
or ninety days imprisonment.
Principal holly areas in the State
are Southern Maryland and the East
ern Shore. Most of the holly in the
Baltimore and Washington areas has
been extermined, and the billy coun-
try of Western Maryland is not suit
ed to holly trees.

MIRACLE HOUSE TO
REOPEN ITS DOORS
125 Children Will Be Ad-
mitted; Service Is
Free

The Claiborne Miracle House, a
tuberculosis preyentorium for
white Maryland children, will
again opeL rs doors this summer
to approximately 125 children
threatened with future break
downs from tuberculosis if nothing
is done to prevent it.
The official opening of tn Mir
acle house will be on June 18th,
when a large delegation of chill
dren will leave from Baltimore for
the Eastern Shore. This will
mark the beginning of the eigh-
teenth season in the prevention
ium's history. During this time
more than 1000 children have
been entertained there.
Speaking of the Miracle House,
William B. Matthews, Managing
Director of the Maryland Tuber-
culosis Association said: "The
Miracle House is for children who
have lived in contact with tuber-
culosis and are in need of strength
ening so that they can effectively
fight against it. There they are
exposed to the most healthful con-
ditions and receive careful and
treatment. Every eff
fort is directed toward improving
their health and in teaching them
how to protect their health.
This service is free to those
who attend, being made possible
by the annual sale of tuberculosis
Christmas Seals. Everything that
the children could possibly need is
for them. including the
clothing. This places everyone on
an equal basis and also makes it
possible for those in the homes to
conserve their incomes for fight
ing the disease at its source"
