Cranberry Glades where northern
plants and animals find homes in a
latitude much farther south than is
normal to them. Another is the fasci-
mating scmi-desert area Of the "shale
barrens," with their cacti, Hates
Mountain clover, clemats, phloxes
and other plants unusual in this part
of the world.
Mr.. Sturm has found time to make
detailed Photographic studies of these
two areas, and to present his films to
the library of West Virginia Univer-
sity. Thus, permanent record in
color is made for the use of students
today and in years to come.
A recent development in the picture,
wild Flowers Of the Alleghenies, +"
has been the addition of a sound track
to the film. Brief and informative
speech now accompanies the pictures,
making them of greater value to stu
dents or other interested spectators.
Mr.. Sturm's pictures have been seen
with enjoyment and profit by many
audiences in this and other states.
They are in demand by botany classes,
scientific organizations and other
groups in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and Florida. As
tribute to their technical excellence
and scientific value, botanist of the
Academy of Natural Sciences in
Philadelphia told me they were the
best wild flower pictures he had ever
seen.

arranged according to recognized bo-
tanical classification, from more gen
eralized to more specialized forms.
Each plant family is introduced by
beautiful habitat shots which bring
into the picture some Of our finest
mountain scenery Pictures of the
plants are taken on the ground not
in a studio. They are alive, moving
with the breezes, and being visited by
the insects which they attract.
Through careful placement of the
camera, and through a system of
magnifying lenses, many shots are
secured which show floral parts in
enlarged detail, a sort of "bug's-eye
view" of the flower which unaided
human eyes will miss. BY this tech
nique new and unsupported beauties
are revealed.
Such a picture is not built in day.
1t means long trips, and many of
them, to find the plants in their best
settings. Timing is of the essence,
since the blossoms must be in exactly
the right stage for photography. I'm
timely frosts or rain and dark weather
may make work impossible. even with
the photographer on the ground
Shots already in the picture must be
eliminated s better ones come
through good fortune.
There is always the challenge of
the rare or elusive subject. Many
trips were made before the first
photographs of that loveliest of au-
tumn wild flowers, the fringed CENT?
an, were taken in West Virginia. The
report Of visiting botanist Cranky
doubted by many of our own scien-
tists) led to the summit of a Pendle-
ton county mountain and the rediscov-
cry of Hudsonia, a little plant of the
seashore which shouldn't have been
there, but was.
l have had the privilege of accom-
panying Harry Sturm on many of his
trips to the New River Gorge for
silver bells; to Summers county for a
rare phloX; to Peters Mountain for
bird's-foot violet in almost infinite
shades of blue and purple; to White
Sulphur Springs for blue and white
vernal irises. l never cease to be
amazed at his ability to see the one
blossom, among thousands perhaps,
which is most nearly perfect and
which has the greatest artistic posi-
bilities.
As such picture grows, new inter-
ests and approaches are certain to
develop. Since many Of the shots
show flowers being visited by insects.
the subject Of pollenation arises
naturally. Some of Sturm's best pic
lures have grown out Of this, and he
has hundreds of feet of film showing
in minute detail the actions of butter
flies, moths, flies, beetles, bees and
wasps as they gather nectar or pollen
from the blossoms. One Of his best Sc
quences shows bumblebees entering
the flowers Of closed gentian, COM
pletely disappearing within the flow
ers and carefully closing the blossom
segments as they emerge.
West Virginia has certain areas of
special biological interest. One OF
these is the cold sphagnum bog of

life is obvious. This is state advertis-
ing at its best, with no commercial
axes to grind and no hint Of bombast
or overseeing. Good impressions of
West Virginia are sure to follow the
viewing of such pictures.
Here then is a business man who
has found in our fields and woodlands
a new interest. Through it he has con-
tributed to science, and his own life
has been enriched. Best Of all he is
sharing these riches with many others.

This is story about Harry P
Sturm of Clarksburg, and if he knew
l was writing it he would be acutely
embarrassed, since he is that kind OF
modest individual. Nevertheless,
shall tell it, since he is, in very real
sense, doing things in West Nir-
gina."
Harry Sturm went into the automo-
bile business in 1911, and he still has
in his Clarksburg show rooms the
first car he ever sold, something of a
museum piece now. When World Wan
II came on. he like many others, had
no cars to sell. He found himself at
loose ends, and I have been told that
he was very unhappy about it. He
could have retired in disgust, but in
stead he found an interest and an
avocation which have added i'm
measurably to science, education and
esthetics.
Never having had any particular
interest in. OF knowledge of, wild
flowers which are so abundant in our
region, he met one day DR.. Joseph f.
Harmed Of Oakland, Maryland. DR..
Harmed during the forty, or so years
of busy druggists life, has found
time to tramp over the Allegheny
Tableland in Maryland, West Virginia
and Pennsylvania to collect specimens
Of, and notes on, thousands Of native
plants and to write the leading book
on wild flowers of this section, "Wild
Flowers Of the Alleghenies."
Going into the field with DR.. Har-
ned is likely to enthuse anyone, and
it wasn't long until Harry Sturm had
conceived the plan of photographing
in colored motion pictures the snowy
and interesting wild flowers Of the
Alleghenies. Thus, an idea was born,
and today Sturm's pictures have
brought pleasure and instruction to
thousands Of persons in this and many
other states.
Amateur photographers and many
professionals as well are often dis
posed to regard their pictures as ends
in themselves, to record their subjects
with as much fidelity as possible, and
to be content with that. From the be-
ginning, Sturm thought of his work
as having educational as well as en-
tertainment value, and he set out
painstal1ingly to build his picture and
to acquire knowledge of his subjects
at the same time.
He brought to outdoor photography
great mechanical skill and a consider
able inventive genius. As a conse-
quence of this, he has designed much
Of his own equipment, has spent
weeks in work on lenses at the Bausch
and Lomb Company, Rochester, New
York, and has developed field pho
Biography to an exact science. Guess
work and chance are pretty well elm
mated, and he doesn't waste many
shots.
Recognizing the need for technical
assistance on his subject matter, he
has worked closely with DR.. Harmed,
with DR.. d. p Strausbaugh and Dr..
Earl Core, of West Virginia Universe
ty, and with other botanists of the
region. Through these contacts, and
through his thousands of hours afield,
he has acquired tremendous knowl-
edge of our mountains and the living
things which dwell therein. His movie
is dedicated to Dr.. Harmed, and takes
it's name from that authors book,
"Wild Flowers of the Alleghenies. "
1t is a magnificent portrayal in color
and movement of the floral wealth of
this territory.

Condition Of Thomas
Becomes Big Issue .
In Trial Of Trumbo

The physical condition of Chair
man Thomas of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities
became major issue today in the
contempt of Congress trial of Dalton
Trumbo, Hollywood film writer, and
District Court Justice David A. Pine
sent for Mr.. Thomas personal
physician to testify as to the legis-
lator's health.
Justice Pine asked the prosecution
to try to reach the doctor after
Defense Attorney Charles A. Hous-
ton moved that the court appoint
an impartial physician or physicians
at Mr.. Trumbo's expense to de-
termine whether Representative
Thomas was physically able to take
the stand or to testify by deposition.
The defense unsuccessfully sought
delay in the trial yesterday when
it was learned that Mr. Thomas,
who is under treatment at Walter
Reed Hospital, would not be able
to testify.
Trumbo is charged with refusing
to state during a House Committee
hearing last October, whether he
was a member of the Screen
Writers Guild or the Communist
Party.
Third Hand Information"
Mr.. Houston, who joined Trum-
bo's battery of attorneys yesterday
complained this morning that the
court had ony third hand informa-
ton as to Mr.. Thomas condition.
He said the entire defense had been
planned on the assumption that
Mr.. Thomas would be available for
cross examination.
This is not an attempt to jeop-
ardize mans health" Mr.. Houston
said.
Justice Pine recessed the trial at
10:45 am. to wait for word as to
whether Mr.. Thomas physician
could appear today. He said he
would decide, on the basis of the
physicians testimony, whether there
was any need for appointing an
other physician to study the case.
Mr.. Thomas was stricken with a
stomach ailment several months
ago while on his way to Panama
He was flown back to Washington
and was a patient in the hospital
several weeks. He returned to his
desk, but lately entered the hos
pital for a checkup
Before the court recessed, As
sistant United States Attorney Will
liam Hitz and Defense Attorney
Ben Margolis continued the debate
they started yesterday as to whether
the method of selecting jurors here
was prejudicial to Trumbo's case.
Justice Pine said he would reserve
his ruling until tomorrow on a
defense motion to quash the panel
of veniremen.
Col. Bliss Ill Today.
Col. E. Goring Bliss, secretary Of
the District Jury Commission, who
testified in connection with this
motion yesterday, sent message to
Justice Pine that he was i'll and un-
able to attend today's session.
Justice Pine warned Mr.. Margolis
yesterday he would not be permit
ted to "go on d fishing expedi-
