TOWN PLANTS FOREST TREES
TO EASE TAXES

On unproductive land whose only
recent crop has been a mounting tax
debt, Burton, Ohio, has launched
unique experiment. community
forest of 1900 trees.
And, eventually, the village
hopes, the forest will begin produc-
ing enough revenue in form of sale
able lumber to relieve part of the
villages mounting tax burden-but
1t seems some more immediate bene-
fits, such as these: recreation, pro-
lection of community water sup
plies, bird and wild life sanctuaries,
employment outlets in emergencies
and utilization of waste lands.
The idea was started a few
months ago when group of Bur-
ton businessmen heard a descrip-
ton of the community forests of
Europe and now for hundreds of
years careful numbering and re-
planting of these forests have yield
ed large revenues. So Burton de-
cided to try it, too.
The businessmen and township
trustees consulted aerial maps and
tax maps of the township, found
many old wornout farms on which
taxes were far delinquent, and some
Of which were abandoned with deep
gullies washing into their unfertile
soil.
So the town secured title to
many of these parcels. On them
have been planted spruce, populars,
red and white pine, locust, and
maple trees, the varieties found to
thrive best in Ohio.
Lawrence w. Smith, Burton High
School teacher, and his vocational
agriculture class planted many trees,
and volunteers planted others.
Charles A. Haas, Geauga County
Agricultural Agent, sees many pro-
fits to the community forest-and
the smallest isn't the possibilities
eventually of sale of timber.
Mr.. Haas said the European for
ests furnish valuable guide and
pattern for Burton's experiment.
"There are many thousands of
Them" he said. Some of them have
been established for hundreds of
years. Many yield profits which pay
all or part of the village and city
taxes. Some communities are tax
free because of these profts.''
He said about sc per cent of all
Swiss forests and large part of
the famous Black Forest of Ger
many are community profits with
pleasure for the owners.
He said there are numerous cities
and towns in the United States with
forests in the parks, but very few
ever were started with the idea of
utilizing the waste lands and turn
ing up profit from them.

neuro-surgical operating rooms at

Surgeons explained that white
uniforms sometimes produced a
"glare" which interfered with the
vision of a doctor performing deli
cate operation. In the neuro-surgi-
cal operating rooms, they said, ex-

French Tourists Visit
Roman Theater Ruins

When the Romans conquered Gaul
and established themselves in Pro-
vence, they determined to have a
good time while they were so far
from home. Their arena at Mines
and theater at Aries are visited by
thousands every year who find
themselves in southern France, but
do not expect to 60 as far as the
Eternal City itself.
Until recently the theater at
Orange, II miles from Avignon, was
rather less known, but the French
people have begun to recognize the
advantages of possessing this fine
example of classic architecture,
and at the end of July or the begin
ming of August, the Coincide Fran
caise presents there q series Of
Greek tragedies.
It is a wonderful experience to be
transplanted back 1000 years and
witness an ancient spectacle in the
very setting for which it was Great
ed. The seats are ranged in a semi
circle up the side of a hill, and the
great high wall Of the stage back
ground makes the acoustics so per-
feet that anyone in the topmost row
can easily hear what is said on the
stage.
Here came the victorious Roman
generals and their legions after
passing under the great triumphal
arch outside the town. There was
room for 10000 of them to sit and
enjoy the play after the hardships
Of war against tribes to the north.

alcoholism have increased since the

COLLEGE ATTENDANCE IN
CREASES DURING
DEPRESSION

One business that hasn't felt
any slump in volume during the
'30s is college education; instead, it
has increased its output since the
depression.
American college and university
attendance has climbed 20 per cent
in the current decade, states DR..
Raymond Walters, President Of
the University of Cincinnati.
While some of this rise in en-
rollment was attributed by DIR.
Walter to an increased apprecia-
ton on the part of young people
of the cultural and civic value OF
higher learning, he traced 1t main
ly to three causes:

Seeing New York
You can see something of New York
while you're at the Fair, for the mere
cost of gasoline. The night we arrived,
we took 50-mile drive across town,
along the Hendrix Hudson Parkway
and back from the Battery up Broad
way to Times Square, then back to
camp. We had a volunteer guide-one
of the officials at the camp.
The policemen go out of their way
to help a visitor. One of them talked
to us for half hour about things in
general while we waited for an OPEN
top bus next morning for sightsee-
ing trip in Manhattan. In fact, any
New Yorker goes out of his way to
help Fair visitor.
We felt so much at home that when
we parked our car to catch a bus to
the Fair on our first days visit, we
forgot to make note of where we left
it; just walked away from it like we
would have done in our own home
town. And believe it or not, we found
it when we came back in the rain
with the help of some of the passen-
gers on the bus.
Bear in mind that the cost of coming
to New York depends on how you are
willing to come. We had camp trail
er, slept in it. using a trailer camp
once, cabin one night during pour
ing rain, using school grounds twice
with the permission of rural neigh
bors, and parking three times at fill
ing stations. 1t took us six days to get
here.
