Oldest apple tree in the north
west-112 years old-still bears fruit
Among the passengers of a SAIL
ing boat that docked at Fort Van
couver, Washington, in 1926 was a
young man named Aenlillius M.
Simpson. Greeting DR.. John Nc
Laughlin, chief factor of the trad.
ing post, Simpson handed him a
package of apple seeds which his
sweetheart had given him in Lon
don.
DR.. Mclaughlin planted the love
seeds" the next day, not far from
the Columbia river bank. A tree
sprang up, and today, 112 years Ia
ter, that tree is still bearing fruit.
1t is located in the present military
reservation of Vancouver Barracks,
and may be seen from the Ever
green highway.

United Aircraft Corpora. ton Engineers Perfect
 Testing Device

East Hartford, Conn, Oct. G. (Up)-United Aircraft Corp, engi- neers claimed today perfection of Q device which will make 1t possi. ble for airplanes to be equipped with lighter propellers which will not break under the stress of vibra. ton.
 Chief Engineer Erie Martin said tho gadget consisted of c glazed strip of carbon, two inches long, c quar- ter of an inch wide and one-six. teenth of on inch thick, "cemented longitudinally to the propeller blade but insulated from 1t electrically. To It's ends are attached two fine wires connected with c source of direct electrical current. As the propeller blade tends to stretch under stress, the resistor thus stretches with 1t, and the change in stress can Do measured directly by recording the decrease in current flowing through the system"

FLOOD CONTROL
 WORK TO START
Gets Underway in N e W England in Week.-Power
 Rights Forgotten

Holyoke, Mass, oct. 6-(UP)- Army engineers will begin flood control work in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont within a week despite the still-Smculdering controversy over power rights.
 The projects will be financed by President Roosevelts tii,0o0,0oo emergency allocatlon, the engineers declared at e conference last night with Western Massachusetts cons gressmen, mayors, Selectment, iri- dustriaiigts and civic leaders.
 The engineers ignored completely the power rights battle in their afi- nouncement of immediate conStruc- ton work and 1t was understood that they would proceed under the federal right of eminent domain rather than under the much-debat- cd interstate flood control com- pacts. Thus the federal govern ment would assume all costs. ac. cording to Chairman Elizabeth M HcTlihy Of tho state planning board.
 Though still insisting that the federal government should not take power rights along affected streams from the individual states, neither Governor George D. Aiken Of Ver- mont nor Governor Francis P. Mur- phy of New Hampshire would say what their next step would be.
 Tho engineers reported they were ready to proceed with work at four sites. at Franklin, N. H., on the Merrimack river and at Union Vile lage, Vt.. Surrey Mountain, N. H., and Knightsviile, Mass, on the Connecticut River.

association of Correctional Case Workers, of Pittsburgh.
 No Morallsing
 "Eet our prospective correctional worker first of all Do objective enough to refrain from morallEing with those under his care," said MT, Broecker. "lie must realize that his appointment as c correctional work. CT does not give him the right to impose his own conventions and concepts of morality upon who must look to him for guidance"
 MT. Broeeker deplored tho fact that there are many correctional workers who produce "the jarrine racket of Q swing band jam session with on uncontrolled competition among oil sections of the orchestra for complete domination of tho whole performance" Instead, Mir Broecker insisted that "these work CTS should De contributing their ef- forts to c smooth.fiowing piece oi work, like the blending harmoniea of the many instruments in Q Bym- phony orchestral The speaker also urged correctional workers to avoid using "jargon," such as rejection, "inoperablo cases," generic case. work" dynamic passivity," and similar bits of verbal fourhushing.'
 The chief field agent also stressed tho fact that Q worker ia tho cor- rectional field should possess botf, physical and moral courage, mot only to face the physical danger which often attend his work, but also Q quiter determination to put up c strong battle for deeeney and fair play on tho many occasions when he will sec those essential virtues threatened with oblivion"
 Summary
 Summarizing his rec ofnmenda. tons, Mir. Broecker said:
 |" The first step in this direction Is the developing of Q professional consciousness among probation of' licers. This should lead to the reali. sation that they have e strong common interest with workers in the field of institutional casework with parolees. Cooperating with the workers in these other fields. pro- bation officers need to define tho scope of correctional work, to es. tablish c now professional phiio' sophy and to redefine the term 'case.work' aS 1t applies to public correctional work.
 "The second step toward putting our profession on Q dignifled plane Is the devising of some means for measuring candidates intellectual equipment for correctional work, ai well as his actual ability to do Q high calibre piece of case work Such c valid test of aptitudes will provide Q much fairer basis oi measuring professional ability thar the present practice of laying great stress upon academic certifcation.
 "The third step, which should solldify our gains, is the develop. ment of Q professional society for public correctional workers. A first step in this direction has already been taken ct Pittsburgh, Pennsyl' vania, where correctional workers have organized the Association oi Correctional Case Workers"

 The renewals of about l45O mem- bers are due at this time. This was occasioned by the fact that the YMCA entered it's new Central building in the fall, President Lar- kin says "rhe YMCA is run by It's members. It is @ democratic organ- ization and continuous members are the backbone of the YMCA. The YMCA, the same as any other or- ganiSation depending on members, could not run with continually changing membership. Therefore, prominent men maintain their memberships year after year, pc. cause of what the YMCA stands for in Waterbury. N
