OIL WEED KILLERS PROVE
HELPFUL TO MANY USERS

Farmers are not the only ones
to benefit from herbicides (weed-
killers to most of us). Almost as
soon as these powerful new
chemicals came on the market,
utility, railroad and. highway
people began using them to get
rid of weeds and brush along the
right-of-ways. Farmers also use
it to combat vegetation along
fences and bitches, as we'll as in
their fields. The sprays-many
containing petroleum derivatives,
many mixed with fuel oil before
application - are used to clean
out brush as utility and pipe
lines, highways and railroads are
built; and to maintain an open
right-of-way in succeeding years.

Perhaps a better thing to study in the
cold is the aspect of trees, themelves,
since this is too often missed. We are so
used to thinking of trees as with leaves
that often we forget to look at them at
all during the cold months. Truly, it is
a case Of not being at all able to see the
trees for the leaves. When the leaves
finally go-and they have been very slow

beauty Of line and limb.

This winter tree Is the real tree.
Here we have the mighty oak in all its
simplicity and beauty, the funny old
apple tree and the rough catalpa.
Books on trees which do not give the
overall picture of the whole tree in
winter land most books do not do not
tell us all that they might.
Each one of us, however, instead Of
just accepting our wintering trees as
sleeping giants. can look at them with
open eyes, and even If we do not know

General McCooch

BY far the majority Of the long list of officers
of the Corps of Engineers who have served as
Engineer Commissioner for the District of
Columbia. have left behind them fine records
Of constructive work. Few of them will be re-
membered, however, with the same warm affec-
ton and deep respect won by Major General
David A. McCoach, Jr. who was buried yes
terday in Arlington. His active service here as a
Commissioner was relatively brief. He did not
serve out the full three-year term which began
with his appointment as Engineer Commissioner
in September of 1888. About six months before
we entered World War II, General McCoach had
been called from the District Building for i'm
portant military duty in this country and abroad
But his short period of active duty here was
marked by professional industry and sympa-
thetic understanding of the city and its people
which made that service outstanding. When he
retired from the Army in 1916, his choice of
Washington as the city in which he planned to
spend the rest of his life may have been influ-
enced by the number of friends he had made
here while Commissioner. He was warmly
welcomed to his new home and he responded by
entering into voluntary civic work for the COM
munity with the same quiet enthusiasm and
common sense efficiency which had distinguished
his active service. Washington has lost an able
citizen and .. fine man..

The ProyerfuI NIGHT

A radio drama that had no playwright,
actors or plot and yet was the most moving
within memory was enacted on Tuesday night
1t was the reading of the lists of American
prisoners in Communist hands, and no one who
listened could have heard it without squeezing
OF the heart. For those waiting for one name
among thousands it must have been an agony
that ended either in prayers answered or hope
deferred. Others who had no direct personal
stake thought of these people with compassion
could picture them watching through the long
night before the radio as if it could change the
world for them-aS indeed it could.
The unadorned reading of names and serial
numbers, next of kin and addresses had never
been so poignant, so charged with emotion.
Nothing like it had happened before. To share
glad tidings is in keeping with the spirit Of the
season, and for thousands of people Christmas
came over the radio on Tuesday night. For
those who waited in vain, the rest of us can only
prayerfully hope that Christmas is still to come.

The nest Of the Baltimore oriole,

Small nests of scores of birds look very
much alike from the ground.
The mud cups of many are not seen

identifying them is therefore lacking.
Even If the cups could be seen, the
exact SIZE so important in identifying.
cannot be ascertained. Less than

than 4 inches across, another set, and
