History of Tree
Farm Operations
Given By Owner

A brief history of the cuttings
made on the Virgil T. Steyer tree
farm was told Monday by Mr..
Steyer as part of the program at
the Tree Farm dedication by Gov
ernor Theodore R. McKeldin, at
Steyer.
The account was given to show
that approved cuttings over a
period of years made continuous
production and made the forest
land valuable to its owner.
The history follows:
an the year of 1892, my father,
John T. Steyer, purchased this SO
acres of land. Just a few years
previous to this purchase, the tim
Der had been virgin stand but
had been clear-cut before my father
acquired it. Clear cutting in that
day was quite different from what
it is today, since only choice trees
were removed. Several species, such
as maple, chestnut, hickory and
others had very little or no market
value. These were left standing
and became a source of income to
the owner as these species of wood
became more useful and the de-
mand for them increased.
Father reared a large family,
and when extra cash was needed
through the years, he would cut
pulpwood and hew railroad ties,
for which he always had a ready
market.
"In 1915 he sold this timber. The
writer supervised the cutting.
Trees that were large enough "a
to Is inches in diameter) were
made into crossties, and larger
trees were considered saw timber.
Care was taken not to damage the
small timber when telling the larg-
er trees. Trees that if left to grow
would make several ties in a few
years, were not cut. This rule was
applied to all timber cut. In this
cutting we removed more than
200, 900 board feet. The following
year we loaded out several car
loads of pulpwood which was cut
from the tops of the previously
felled trees.
"In 1882, this cumberland pro-
duced another 100000 board feet
of lumber, using the same method
of selective cutting.
After fathers death, the writer
purchased this land from the estate
in 1916. have been using the same
method of selective cutting, which
the family used for nearly so
years. We knew nothing then of a
scientific method of timber Sc
lection and conservation, yet we
find we have followed very profit
able method of utilizing our land
holdings.
"In 1947, | began some forest
stand improvements of my own by
removing inferior woods and dis
eased and damaged trees, which
cutting will permit the young,
healthy, profitable species to pro
duce good timber more rapidly.
That cutting was thinning oper-
alton. This thinning provided an
excellent yield of mine material
! per acre. A good crop was left on
the land to grow and develop into
new crop of quality timber. 1t is
estimated that with the completion
of this thinning, the yield will have
been approximately 100000 board
feet"

Starting
Education
By AnoeIo Potri

The child who is to start his
=. school education for the first
time this fall should be readied
for that trying experience this
month, if not before.
q. First he should be examined as
to the state of his physical
health-eyeS, ears, nose and
throat should be tested by a
physician. The family doctor,
dentist, and perhaps specialist.
&. If he is needed.
All vaccinations required by
law should be completed before
school opens. 1t is a sorry thing
to send a half-sick child to
school. It is hindrance to child
and teacher to have him home
i'll because of a vaccination, or
recovery from an operation on
his ear, nose or throat, etc.
After the physical prepara-
ton is completed. the certifi-
Gates affirming it should be
placed in an envelope, ready for
the day of registration. Remem-
ber that the birth certificate
must be shown that day; if one
is not obtainable, secure a copy
of church record of birth or
baptism which may be accepted
Now the clothes for the occa-
sion. Every mother and her child
want to celebrate the day by
suitable clothes. If these are
new to the child, be sure to have
him wear them for a couple of
hours at home so that he feels
at ease in them. This is impor-
tant about the clothes, but
doubly so about the shoes. Make
certain that the shoes are COM
Portable, so that the boy can
forget them and pay attention
to the teacher. Many a first day
has been ruined by a pair of
badly fitted shoes. Children will
suffer in silence, hiding grief
from the teacher who is only
another stranger, perhaps a
frightening stranger to them.
The most important step in
this preparation is the child'S
attitude toward school. toward
the teacher, his classmates
relationship that is going to help
him more than anything else.
Faith in the kindness of the
teacher, il the fairness of his
playmates, in the spirit of good
will that abides in the school,
will make this first day easier. A
responsive good will on his part
will draw affection toward him
and send him on his way
streng thened and encouraged.
Faith drives out all fear. Every
school child needs it and the
attitude of the family instills it.

CLEANER FOR

MRS. r. C. W, HyGttsviIleJ
In regard to Mrs. c.. in
Washington for her request for
a cleaner for her hardwood
floors. I recommend a product
beginning with v and ending
with L, which is sold at all gas
stations, and steel wool. Pour
some on floors and rub with
steel wool. then use dry soft
cloth and wipe dry. After they
are thoroughly dry, apply wax.
It works wonders for me. Also.
I would like to know if there
is any way to get ball-point

appreciate anything I could
try.

Seeks Ban OF
Red Lawyers

BOSTON, Mass. - tNC) - Com
munists should not be permitted as
lawyers in the United States, an
American Bar Association commit
tee has advised.
The Committee on Communist
Tactics, Strategy and Objectives
urged the ABA House of Delegates
to recommend that State authori-
ties and the US. Attorney General
take action against lawyers who
are Reds.
The committee noted that feel
ing has existed that some of the
witnesses who refuse to testify UNI
der the protection OF the Fifth
Amendment before Congressional
committees did so on the advice
of attorneys who were more con
cerned with aiding the Communist
Party than protecting the basic
personal interest of the witness"
The committees resolution said
it has been thoroughly establish
ed that communism aims to
overthrow the government of this
country and that communist
activities in this country are die
tated by foreign power"
Head Sof the committee is Her

Improvement OF Morals was form
ally inaugurated here at the end of
congress attended by representa-.
tives of some 35 Catholic groups
with a total membership of two
million.
The congress was organized by
a preparatory committee appointed
in 1851 by Archbishop Luis M.
Martinez, Primate of Mexico. The
committee had meanwhile con-
Quoted campaigns against immoral
films and various types of objec-
tionable literature. At the same
time, it had called attention to dan
gers threatening the security and
sanctity of family life.
The newly-formed National Com
mittee for the Improvement of
Morals, Father Cayetano Ortigosa,
leading delegate at the congress,
declared, will form "a united front
to work in positive manner for
better moral conditions in the
country"
Warn Against Evils
Opened by Archbishop Martinez,
the congress featured talks by
speakers who stressed the need for
moral reforms i'm economic, social
and family life. Reports were pre-
sented warning against widespread
divorce, Illicit unions, the use of
contraceptives and other evils
threatening the family.
A recommendation was adopted
by the congress urging the Bishops
TO assume control of the Mexican
Legion of Decency, which reviews
and classifies public shows. An
other recommendation called for
the creation of voluntary associa.
tion of film producers, writer's and
actors pledged against the produc-
ton of immoral movies,
Appeal TO Government
Other recommendations were for
the establishment of institutions
for the study of family problems
and conditions. and for the inaug-
uration of campaign TO promote
the ideals of true Christian mar
riage. An appeal was sent to Pres
ident Adolfo Ruiz Cortinez asking
