CEDAR IS CoMINB BACK
(New York Herald-Tribune)

(NGW 4OTk t1eEdlu@ AAtDuilS'
 That very able engineer, archi- tect and long-range planner King Solomon understood the value of ce- dar and employed 1t well in the building of his temple. Our own pic" neers particularly in the North west, where the giant red cedar grows, cut their rough cedar shakes and out of them fashioned roofs an dsometimes sides for their houses and barns. The small red cedar shinele, always popular in Ameri- can building was the foundation Of tremendous business, And when the open ranges were fenced 1t was soon discovered that the cedar post, all things considered, was preferable to any other.
 Other building materials, the syn- thetics and the plaStics, seemed for time to threaten the wood, but the fear now seems baseless. where cedar is available many of the postwar building planners are pre- ferring 1. And the cut-oVer sedar land in many parts of the South west is being turned Into pasctureS for sheep, goats and cattle. New methods of treating cedar poles have wonderfully increased their durability. The cedar has so many uses taht 1t may be regarded as one of our finest forest resources. King solomon, viewing the tall Ced- ars of Lebanon with Q knowing eye, understood what he was about
 Heir Ala, of Khartoufn, said he was tired of living, stopped eating, and has died at the age Of l3b.

WRITER ONCE MORE REMINDS CITIZENE OF WATERBURY OF PINE HILLS POSSIBILITIES FOR A RECREATONAL

 Waterbury, Conn,
 October 24, l945. Editor of The Democrat
 Please publish he following re- port in your paper;
 To the Citizens of the City of Waterbury,
 We who are born in Waterbury and have lived here fifty or sixty years have 0 great affection for our Green. Memories of poyful oc- casions are numerous in our recol- lections when the smiling counten- ances and hearty handshakes were continuous among the throngs that stood on or about this colorful strip shaded with elms.
 Our ancestors thoughtfully sur rounded 1t With everything that was picturesque and useful to ill- crease It's dignity. Throughout the years some of It's elms are now mission and some day perhaps through other causes than age others will go. The other day at a meeting, the Supt. of Parks stated that at the present time there Is danger of e blight on elms in our section and he had consulted with experts to prevent deterioration.
 We are doing everything possible to preserve our Green and carry out the wishes of our forefathers but in time 1t may be necessary to change the location little but not their idea and motives. Our eld- CTS wanted a large lawn with elms in the center of the city, sur rounded with ornamental designs and public buildings. It is oui duty now to plan with a view te the future.
 We are fortunate to have now ir the very center of our township an ideal parcel of land that car be used for that purpose and wa' very popular with the public be- fore other places were improved tt detract from 1t. Seen from every section of the city those who arc up there are agreeably surprised te learn that Pine Hill is long, wide fertile land and greatly bellies tht impression thath 1t IS barren rock as appears from some angles below From It's natural aspect 1t can bC converted into as useful and beauti. ful place as any in the coun. try.
 The oldest streets and home ir our City wkere built around Plnt Hill and on Sunday 1t was crowded with people watching ball games races, jumjing and othertaoil------- races, jumping and other athletic games. People would again be- come accustomed to use 1t as community center and as time went on the ornaments about our pres ent Grssn increased with other ad' 1itions could be gradually removed to our new green that would al
