Howard L. Bliss
Gives His Opinion

Deferred repairs and obso-
lescence of Detroit income
properties during the war
years have mounted to such
magnitude that this will be a
large source Of postwar en-
ployment and purchasing.
This was the opinion ex-
pressed Saturday by Howard
L. Bliss, head of the property
management department OF
Homer Warren az Co.
SCARCITY CITED
Shortage Of mechanics,
scarcity of many building
supply items and high prior
tiles on other items have
caused millions Of dollars
worth Of needed repair work
and modernization, explained
Bliss.
He also pointed out that
much of the maintenance
work done in war years was
necessarily OF a temporary
nature and will require re-
placement within another
year or two.
VAST DUTIES '
"An Inevitable result Of
this situation will be tn In

for planting. These trees are being
given special care and scions from
prolific California cork oaks have
been grated to some of them.
Soil and Climate Needs.
The successful culture of cork oak
is no more difficult and not greatly
different than the culture of the more
common ornamental trees. Cork oak
will survive in localities where the
winter minimum temperature occa-
sionally drops to zero, or even few
degrees below zero if the trunks of
the trees are protected for four or
five years until the bark becomes
corky. High temperatures will not
harm the tree as it is growing Wig
orously in parts of California where
maximum temperatures of lis de-
grees Fahrenheit are not uncom-
mon.
Cork oak is said to grow best and
produce the highest quality cork in
its native habitat on well-drained,
sandy-loam soils that are not limey
in nature and often rather low in
fertility. In the United States, how
ever, trees are growing in many diff
ferent soil types, including clay soils,
peat soils and limey soils. The wa

empty nail polish bottles make
lapel gadget if you clean them off
and then tie them together with a
little piece of ribbon. When you give
one of them to Tick Chats drip
that gets under your skim he will
know he's getting the brush-off.
Prune Puss-Make a Topsy lapel
pin out of an uncooked prune, using
white thumb tacks for features and
colored yarn for little pigtails. Bet
ter coat it over with nail polish.
Mock Turtle-Half a walnut shell
and five raisins make turtle pin,
believe it or not. Glue on the raisins
as feet and head. Decorate the shell
with nail polish dots. Glue piece
of felt on the back and you'll have
something to attach a pin to.
On the Fringe-Did you know that
ball fringe makes swoonderful
sweater necklaces? Buy it in the
upholstery department of your ia
vorite store, attach three graduated
strands with snapper in back for
fastening. Attach individual balls to
your earrings and you'll make the
headlines in your school paper.

tai wartime necessity. 1t may not
be beyond reason to expect at pres
ent rate of paintings, that within IS
years, this need will be met in the
United States.
California leads in cork oak acorn
production. In 1914 there were har-
vested $4,000 pounds in this state.
Acorns ripen during November, De-
cember and January, usually in
three different stages. The first OF
the crop is poor, later it is better,
and those collected after December
Is are generally best.
Thorough Study Made.
An exhaustive study of soil, eli
mate, rainfall and temperature con-
ditions in the United States has been
made and this data compared with
that of the cork-producing sections
of Portugal. From this study, the
map given herewith has been pre-
pared. While this physico-geograph-
ical map serves as guide in plant
ing cork trees, seedlings have been
distributed to persons outside of this
theoretical cork area. 1t is entirely
possible some sections indicated as
less desirable for growing cork may
produce satisfactory trees.
A large quantity of corkwood, har-
vested in California during the past
few years, was sent to the research
laboratory of the Crown Cork and
Seal company for study and evalua-
ton. Careful examination and tests
indicated that the domestic cork is
equal in every way to the imported
article of the same grade.
For more than 1900 years the
worlds supply of cork has come
from the shores of the western
Mediterranean. Many of these
groves are suffering as the result of
neglect, disease and insects, con-
dition that is not present among the
American stands.
In order to Standardize the quail
ity of cork produced, bark samples
are removed from trees in selected
areas for exhaustive laboratory test
ing. Samples of soil from under the
trees have been collected and ex-
amined. These vary considerably
and include clay loan, sandy loan
and rich garden THANKSGIVING that
cork oaks grow well on a wide vari-
ETY. of soils.
The fact that cork oaks, in widely
scattered places, have thrived for
from 60 to IS years and have grown
into beautiful trees shows conclu-
sively that the United States can
produce this valuable tree. Many of
the large cork oaks in the South do
not bear acorns, and efforts are
being made to cause these trees to
fruit, because the acornS are needed
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1945-06-22

These cork oak acorns were grown
near Winnesboro, S. C. Many big
trees in the South do not bear acorns
for some reason. This is unfOrtu-
nate, considering the acute need.
ter table seems more important than
the soil texture, for plantations
made where the water table is less
than six or eight feet below the sur
face have failed. A surface soil
that becomes hard and baked is not
a good soil for cork oak as attested
by failure of trees planted in such
soils.
Cork oak naturally grows in sunny
locations and does not succeed well
in shady situations. 1t will start
growth when partially shaded and
even seems to prefer partial shade
when young, but to make normal
development it must, after few
years, have nearly full-sun condi-
tons. This need for much light may
eliminate "fog belt" areas of the
West coast.
If drainage is good cork oak grows
well in parts that are sprinkled each
day or along streams where the soil
is continually moist. On the other
hand, it also grows well, but more
slowly, where the annual precipi-
tation is as low as 20 inches per
year.
The cheapest and perhaps more
satisfactory method of establishing
cork oak is to plant the acorns di-
rectly in well-prepared seed spots
as soon as they are received. The
seed spots are prepared by remov-
ing all vegetation from a circle a
yard in diameter, then pulverizing
the soil to depth of six inches. The
seeds should be planted in moist soil
and covered to depth of about one
inch. This may be done at any time
during the fall, winter or spring.

america" put only one major idea
in his verses.
1T is God that is the author Of
liberty" this article continues.
Liberty does not have its origin in
man. God has implanted it in mans
breast. Perhaps this is the reason
that, more than all others in the OPP
pressed lands, the churches have
stood up before tyranny and rebuked
it . perhaps this is the reason
urgent requests are coming from the
liberated lands for the Book of which
they have been deprived. Chris
tians all over Europe are again
studying the Bible to learn afresh its
lessons.
Whether for these or still other
reasons of which we are unaware,
we know that tremendous renais-
sance of interest in the Bible is
sweeping the world.
And so it is the good fortune of
the Bible lover, whether he be an
erudite scholar or simple and de-
voted reader spelling out the texts
as he goes along. that George Slim
son completed his helpful, interest
ing, searching and authentic Book
About the Bible" in this particular
year of our Lord.
1.-THE purpose of the author in writ
ing this book" says Stimson in his
brief introduction, "is to supply re-
liable and adequate answers to
great number of popular questions
asked about the Bible"
And that is what he does. Take
the first one: when was Jesus born?
and the last one: does mile" occur
in the Bible? Or, how old are the
oldest Bible manuscripts?
And that brings us to the inquiry,
who is this man Stimson, anyhow?
, He is man of about fifty, born on
an Iowa farm and is still a keen
lover of the soil. He worked on his
college Valparaiso, Ind.) paper and
then on small town papers, came to
Washington to help edit the "Path-
finder" and was on its staff for 10
years. He is the author of four sue
cessful volumes of popular infor-
nation, and still syndicates unique
and colorful column called you'd

Stimson's little office in the National
Press building in Washington and
see him toiling at his old-fashioned
roll-top desk.
You will probably find him poking
at his ancient typewriter with two
fingers or running them through his
healthy name of brown hair while he
cogitates. You might find as call
er the speaker of the house of rep
resentatives. some foreign diplomat,
distracted correspondent or some
poor, ambitious girl or boy seeking
advice on career. In any case you
would be welcomed with a smile and

WNU Service, Union Trust Building,
Washington, D. c.
Last week I sat down to write a
piece about man who wrote book
about the Bible. I thought the book
and its creator were worth more
than casual comment because of the
nature of both creation and creator.
Both are unique. But before had
made more than a dozen inquiries in
search of collateral material for my
article I discovered that the produc-
ton of the book was news in another
sense. I found it to be more than
another contribution to modern lit
erature and scholarship. found it
to be part of a modern phenomenon
"a phase of what appears to be the
greatest revival of interest in the
Bible which the world has ever seen.
George Stimson, who wrote "a
Book About the Bible" is one Of
Washington's newsmen whose name
is known to many readers of his dis
patches and his column, especially
ir the Middle West and South. He is
known to a smaller circle for the
profundity of his knowledge on many
subjects, especially the Bible. I think
it more than coincidence that he
completed the work to which he has
given a lifetime of study and devo-
ton this year. He may have guessed
that this period in the worlds his
tory which has Witnessed the great
est EQUALIZATION of humankind
would naturally be followed by
strong reaction toward things of the
spirit. In any case the arrival of
this Book About the Bible" could
not be more timely. Lloyd Douglas,
author of that gripping work, "The
Robe" informed me last month that
the American Bible Society has re-
ceived the largest order for scrip
lures in its 129 years of history, and
that the distribution of Bibles, New
Testaments and Bible portions by
this non-profit organization has
reached the highest level since it
was founded in 1916.
This biggest single order was for
100000 Protestant scriptures (includ-
ing military missals and prayer
books) for the European theater of
operations and in addition 500 Ger
man Bibles, 100000 testaments and
$4,000 portions" for use with Ger
man war prisoners and informed CT
villains.

me that this was the busiest year
In the chapters history.

Intrigued by
Bible Through Life

Of course I asked George how he
happened to write "a Book About
the Bible" Because" he said with
no hesitation, II wanted answers to
those questions myself" The first
Bible Stimson ever owned he got
from a mail order house when he
was Is. 1t was his second Town"
book. The first was "Pilgrim's
Progress" He read them both, by
kerosene lamp, stretched out on
his stomach on the kitchen table.
Then he began to ask questions
questions-questions-of his Sunday
school teacher, of the preacher, Of
anyone who would listen. How did
Paul look? What about Jesus
brothers? What became of the lost
tribes of Israel? and many others
which thousands of readers of the
Bible have asked before and since.
The answers weren't so satisfactory
to the young inquisitor and so he
kept on asking. And reading, and
clipping and searching and re-
searching.
Nor did he cease to examine the
source of his curiosity. He has read
the Bible from cover to cover at
least 10 times. He has read it count
less times if you added up his brows-
ings. He has read it twice aloud to
himself.
And now, he gives the world the
answers to the questions he himself
began asking back there in the little
country church, giving them to the
world simply, authoritatively and
completely, at moment when the
Book which is more widely read
than any other ever printed, is be-
ing read more widely than ever, by
a yearning, asking world.
