and shadow that mark our streets and side
walk she wantonly strips trees and foliage in
blazing grandeur; and, as the world slowly
becomes cold, and grasses grow brown and
brittle underfoot, she seems to sleep. But
even in the sleep of winter, she works her
magic on the window panes and in the lacy
patterns of snow with which she decorateS
the skeletons of tree and bush. Then flush
ed by warmer winds she stirs again, and
slowly brews her potions until, fully awake,
she evidences herself in the brilliance of
spring.
For centuries she has followed this same
enduring pattern, and by her cleverness has
withstood the devastations of fire and flood,
the scorching fingers of drouth, and the
killing touch of winter. She is an ancient,
but extremely hardy, lady.
Nevertheless Mother Nature needs pro-
lection, and now that the season of spring
is upon us, conservationists are again urg-
ing theneed for protection of our woodlands,
flowers, and other forms of wildlife To
this end National Wildlife Restoration
week was fixed by proclamation of Governor
Bricker this month, and further proclama-
tion sets April as Arbor day "for the
thoughtful consideration of the important
part trees have played in the progress and
prosperity of our people; and for the fer
tile soil, abundant water, wild flowers, song
and game birds and other forms of wildlife
on land and in the waters of our state"
Newark and Licking county are rich in
their heritage of scenic beauty, and the ef-
forts of state and local groups to maintain
and replenish wildlife merits the coopera-
tion of all. It is to be hoped that their pro-
grams will gain momentum, and that those
who would thoughtlessly destroy nature
may learn to become one of it's guardians.
For while man must use the resources of
land and water and sky he has long since
learned that he need not destroy them for
wanton pleasure.
For those who have learned to enjoy the
weavings of her fingers, Mother Nature re-
mains the First Lady of the World-to be
adored and courted; but never to be des-
troyed.

Spring Cleanup Serves
ThreefOld Purpose

NOW THAT SPRING Is AT LONG LAST
attempting to sneak belatedly through
the back door of time, thoughts turn from
the pursuits of winter to new forms of ad-
venture and to new responsibilities as
WELL
AS natural as the coming of spring is
the upheaval of housecleaning-an as i'm
portant as mothers endless brushing and
shaking and dusting are the needs for re-
painting and repairing both resident and
business structures.
The rough elements of winter naturally
work severe havoc on buildings of all
types, and pave the way for further deter
ioration from the winds, rain, and sun of
late spring and sumner. A thorough check
up anr renovation will often increase or at
least sustain the present value of real es-
tate And in majority of cases the ex-
pense of prevention is much less than the
later cost of replacement or extensive re-
pairs.
A well-sponsored cleanup and paint-up
campaign should not go amiss this spring.
1t would provide work for many men at a
time when problems of relief are acute; it
would stimulate lumber, paint, hardware
and miscellaneous lines of business; and it
would avert real estate property losses in
the community.

Permanent Social Program
Needs Cooperation of All

THE THOUGHT FREQUENTLY RECURS
that the depression may have been a
friend whose influence can be used for the
preservation of American institutions. AT
least, as has been frequently asserted, it
has caused many man to stop and think.
And, in their meditations, men have
learned to think not only of themselves, but
of their fellowmen. That prodigious infant
of prosperity that grew in the '2Os filled
mems pockets, but left little time to feed
their minds and souls-or even time to In
telligently survey the progress of their CIV
ilization. AS a result many institutions
were permitted to grow haphazardly, like
the Topsy of fiction, until there was need
for wholesale revision of many of the prac-
tices produced by our social and economic
problems.
No doubt great amount of progress
has already been made, but there is need
for further progress. Mrs. Lucia j. Bing,
assistant chief of child welfare service in
the bureau of charity, stressed the need
for permanent social program at meet
ing held in Newark last week. Already, she

building of children's homes to fuller re-
sponsibility for entire families, and the
humanitarian acceptance of the need for
maintaining families as integral units of So
ciety. Needs for social welfare work are
ever present, even in times of prosperity
and the ability of nation or city to solve
,oday's problems will determine tomorrow's
greatness.
This work of building a permanent So
Ial program is not a task for those who
would destroy the United States and up
Oot its institutions. It is, rather, work for
hose who love free land and free ideals,
md who believe that this nations greatness
S in the future and not in the past. Plans
or appointing a committee to study the
leeds of Licking county have already been
made, and the reports of this group will be
ollowed with interest. A committee of
lert workers can do valuable work. A
borough and constructive survey will un-
oubtedly bring to attention many prac-
Ices that need correction. For ultimate
ehievements, however, the cooperation of
Il forward-looking civic and social groups
bill be needed
