the Y to conduct such a drive in
East Cleveland, the East Cleveland
Kiwanis club acted, and acted gen.
erously.
Responsible for this quick work
is Charles King, long time member
of the Y board whose interest in
young people keeps him busy also
as chairman of the clubs Boys and
Girls Committee. Just as soon as

club for $1,000. The committee
agreed and presented their request
to the Kiwanis board Monday noon.
The board agreed. Result: $1,000
of that goal of $4,000.
Sterling Apthorp heads the capt.
tai fund drive for $4,000 which

To Spray All
City Owned
Elm Trees

East Cleveland will launch q
spraying campaign to control the
elm bark beetle which spreads the
Dutch Elm Disease. 1t is expected
to start spraying within the week,
as soon as the spraying material
arrives. Some 1900 trees, located
on the streets and in the parks
will be given the D.D.T. treatment
with a new mist blower, recently
purchased by the city for this pur-
pose.
Following the recommendations
of the US. Department of Agri-
culture, two treatments are given
each year, one in April and one in
July. Weather conditions must be
perfect if the spraying is to effec-
tive. The day must be sunny and
minus breeze, and the tempera-
ture must be 40 degrees or over.
Wind carries the spraying material
to neighboring trees and shrub
berry.
No spraying will be done on trees
on private property. To preserve
these trees, city officials are re-
questing everyone to take part, to
encourage their neighbors to join
with them in the campaign to save
the American Elm. To this end
they suggest following the recon-
mendations Of the Garden Center
of Greater Cleveland as outlined in
five steps, as follows:
1. Cut out and burn all dead and
drying elms.
2. Prune out dead, broken, and
weak branches and burn as soon
as possible.
3. Burn any elm wood piled out
side for fuel.
4. Destroy elms Of low value
when they may endanger valu-
able trees.
5. Keep elms in healthy condi-
tion by spraying to control leaf
eating and other insects, and by
fertilizing and watering.

misery which falls tormentingly on

the innocent. This is the story
