the budget was evidently not properly
made up. AS a result of this lack of
foresight and inefficiency we are now
short of available funds for the opera
ton of our schools, but | assure you,
that is not the fault of those who con-
tributed by taxes and licenses. The
people of Montana paid their taxes as
required by law. The money is in the
state treasury The trouble now is
that this money has not been made
available for proper use and expendi-
ture.
THE Citizens Committee on educa-

are financially assured of superior
public schools in this state. | pledge

The Districts mounting traffic
toll among children Is causing con-
Germ among officials charged with
furthering trafic safety.
This was learned as the Police
Department reported a marked rise
lin child traffic casualties during the
Hast six weeks.
Three children under 10 have died
In that period, after being struck
by automobiles in the District. In
nearby Maryland and Virginia three
more children, one a Washington
boy, also have been killed.
In addition to these fatalities,
police reported 274 other children
in Washington alone were injured
between January and the begin
ming of this month. All were un-
ider IS.
Last year, in the same three
month period, 81 fewer children
were injured and none was killed,
police records show.
Traffic Director George E. Keneipp
today warned this rise may be
accelerated greatly with the ap-
proach of warmer weather and sum-
mer vacation for school children.
Mr.. Keneipp pointed to an in
crease of 26,599 in District automo-
bile registrations during the year
ended March 81 as a serious threat
to pedestrians, especially during the
summer
The Commissioners Traffic Ad-
visory Board hopes to organize a
Istepped-up pre-vacation safety pro-
gram next month in the schools,
according to A.. Julian Brylawski,
information and education chairman
of the board. The chief problem, he
added, is to awaken parents to their
responsibilities.
In reporting the recent upsurge in
child accident casualties, Police
Capt. L. T. johnson of the Traffic
Division. said they are increasing
every week and will result in a con-
siderably higher total than last year
If the present rate continues.
Nearly Is per cent OF all those
hurt in traffic accidents last year
were children, Capt. johnson said.
Ten children were killed. A total
Of 1883 children under Is were
injured, among the 4,762 of all ages,
he said.

sible for most of the accidents in
which they are involved as pedes-

sincerely urge that the De

the Division of Territories and
Island Possessions reappraise

EDITORIAL
How About A Resident Commissioner

MORE than once the Virgin Islands have gone out on a
limb, as it were, in placing blame for certain conditions in
Washington directly upon the Division of Territories. It has
been recognized that when such blame is placed the reason
is that the Islands are more familiar with that Department
than with any other. And there is good reason-it is the only
one which our people know so we'll
AS HAS been often commended, a resident commissioner
IN Washington would help us greatly. Through that channel
could flow all the information necessary, and our problems
could be kept constantly before such officials and depart
ments and bureaus as necessarily touch our lives here at
home. It has been said that the fact that the Virgin Islands
are the only possessions without a resident commissioner is
no reason why we should have one. But we differ. The old
adage that the eye of the master fattens the beast is no idle
one. And it is for that very reason why each and every other
territory and possession has such a commissioner in Washing
ton.
lHE AVIS has often sung the praises of the Department
OF the Interior, and particularly the Division with which we
deal. Fine work has it done indeed, and it cannot be said that
there was any noticeable indifference from which we have
suffered. But it must be remembered that the Division has
its hands filled. It must keep it's many irons in the fire for
Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and others, and that there must, of
necessity, be limitations. Here, then, is where resident COM
missioner would serve an admirable purpose, for his entire
time and effort would be devoted to the sole interests Of the
group ne represents. And there is no limit to the good that
personal contacts, particularly in the nations capital, can do.
When the Butler-Miller report was issued we agreed with
much OF what was said, but had to differ on that point. And
II we recall correctly, it was the cardinal point of difference
to which Governor HASTE registered his observation.
AS TIME passes, and as conditions become more and
more acute, it becomes increasingly evident that very serious

Life. is a burden just now. The
feeding problems that come with
winter keep mounting. along with
the appetites of our livestock-two
cows now. the calf and the new
thoroughbred filly.
My whole life seems to center
along a well-worn path from fodder
shocks to barn lot, from hay loft to
manger and from feedroom to
trough. And just for good measure,
about 40 gallons of water must be
drawn from the we'll each day, and
kept available for livestock that
never seem to quench their thirst
Since Queen arrived year ago, I
have learned many things, chiefly
that you can't overfeed a COW.
I tried one day to keep the two
cows and calf supplied with fodder.
1t was a loosing struggle, and /
ended the day fiat on my back, with
the cows still looking hungrily over
the fence of the new barn lot.
I am sure if those two COWS could
get into the barn loft where about
six tons of soybean hay is stored
they would finish it off in a few
hours.
A COW is a wasteful creature, too.
1t makes my back hurt to see them
take only choice bite here and
there, while tossing all over the lot
the bundles of fodder that I have
just carried down from the back
field.
And no matter how choice the
hay. that on top OF the manger
seems subject always to suspicion.
It's the hay at the bottom OF the pile
they want, and to get at it they toss
the top hay all over the stall.

IS Clubs Boost Flower Week
Quantities of Blooms Are Placed;
White House Gets Hawthorn

Approximately 1000 persons in
the Metropolitan Area have been
busy promoting National Flower

ends today. OF some go clubs, sew

limited to special interests, which
exist in the region As were actively
enlisted in a spectacular drive to
demonstrate the role flowers can
play in the art of living.
Flowers worth thousands OF do.-
lars were given away by florists
with no expectation Of recognition,
all distributed with blooms that
the clubs collected privately. Clubs
participating included IL in Wash
!ugton, 13 in Montgomery County,
in Alexandria, in Arlington,
County, in Fairfax County and
in Prince Georges County. Although
late in the season, one show was
promoted by the Prince Georges
groups at which there were 50 ex-
hibitS, all later distributed 10
churches and institutions.
The Forest Hills Garden Club
made a dramatic contribution by
sending a bouquet of chrysanthe-
NUNS and hawthorn to the White
House for Mrs. Truman and the
President. Hawthorn is the State
flower of Missouri and Mrs. r. w.

national observance.
Six central radio stations were
served all week with flowers, the
men on the programs getting
boutonnieres and the women receiv-
ing corsages. There were at least
three televised programs OF a civic
event featuring floral distributions.
Flowers from the florists pools
there were six branches serving the
clubs OF the area-went in part to
all schools and hospitals OF the
city and environs, including the
Glenn Dale Sanitarium, the Ma
tional Training School for Boys,
Bethesda Naval, Walter Reed and
Mount Alto Hospitals, and the Gal

few.
Banks, post offices, jails, schools
and especially institutions for the
underprivileged over wide area
were served; also classes and social
groups, such as Girl Scouts, the
Americanization Group at Webster
School and home economics stu
dents and the mems civic clubs Of
the area.
Most of the top ribbons from the
Hyattsville Methodist Church dis
play, promoted by the seven clubs
of Prince Georges County, went to
the Progress Club of College Park
and the Hyattsville Horticultural
Society.
The Arlington Rose Foundation
assisted in the weeks observance.

Naples as Providers of Shade
Red, Sugar, Norway and Few
Imported Species Do Well Here
By W. H. Younqmon

Contrary to general belief, the
maple (Acer family, and 1t Is a
large one, contains some very use
full species of shade trees. Many
think of the entire family in terms
o. the soft or silver maple (Acer
sacchorinim). The soft maple is
widely planted under the mistaken
belief that it is such rapid grower
that we should overlook its short
comings; however, other species with
more desirable habits reach mature
stature as quickly.
The red maple, also called the
scarlet or swamp maple, grows as
rapidly, but there the similarity
ends. The soft maple loses twigs
and branches so freely that we refer
to the falling debris by saving, its
dropping its branches" The soft
maple tree roots are so close to the
surface Of the ground that the
growing of grass beneath it is next
to impossible. The limbs droop and
give it a low head" which is not
especially desirable, particularly in
the city. On the other hand, the
red maple has a rather upright
habit of growth. 1t IS slow to drop
twigs and its roots are slightly bet
ter covered.
The soft and red naples are
natives of the Eastern States, and
grow from Canada to the Gulf.
They appear as seedlings so fire.
quently they can be classed as
Weedy trees. However, the one is
we'll shaped and fairly long lived,
while the other is subject to many
diseases and may be half dead by
the time it reaches mature stature.
Sixteenth Street Naples.
A third species, the sugar or hard
maple, is native to the more north
ern States, where it IS widely culti-
waited for it's sap. It Is relatively
slow growing and has long life
span. Several streets have been
planted with sugar naples, Six
teenth street for one, although some
maintain it is not adapted to city
conditions. Certainly its we'll shaped
head and long life make it deSir-
able for the suburbs. particularly
where there are gravelly soils. The
foliage comes early in the spring
and lasts we'll in the fall, being very
noticeable as the leaves turn to
bright reds and yellows. 1t seems
to be relatively free from insects
and diseases when compared to the
red maple.
Also well known in this area Is the
Norway maple. a slow grower with
such density that grass culture be-
meath Is difficult. However, it is
comparatively immune to insects and
diseases and is good tree for the
suburbs.

A fall chore is to check on sur

the water away.

The forcing of paper-white mar
cissus for Christmas Towering
should be started by now. Place the
bulbs in a saucer and support them
with pebbles, moss or sand. Add q
bit of water and place the saucer in
a cool, dark situation until they are
we'll rooted and the leaves have
started to grow. Keep adding water
as needed. When the leaves are
showing the dish should be moved
into a well-lighted room where the
temperature is go degrees or lower.
Keep them there until the flower
buds begin to unfold. If moved into
a warmer, drier room the buds may
have difficulty breaking through.
