Aerial Survey To
Combat Oak Wilt
To Be Made Here

An aerial survey Of Garrett and
AHe@any county forest lands to
determine extent Of the oak wilt
disease. is planned by state and
federal forestry officials.
William II. Johnson, district for
ester, said plans for the campaign
were mapped recently at the Uni
vcrsity Of Maryland. The disease
threatens oak stands in the Middle
Atlantic states. Among those at
tending the conference We're Dr.. l..
\. Weaver and Or. Ernest Cory,
entomologists, University Of Mary
land; State Forester II. c. Buck
ingham, and Joseph F. Kaylor,
director of the State Department
Of Forests and Parks.
The survey in this county was
expected to start within a week
and will include an inspection Of
areas which were treated last year.
Airplanes are to be used, starting
in July. Helicopters may be used.
Johnson said poisoning of trees
has not proven very effective in
the eradication work. He explained
that the trees, once struck by the
wilt, form block in their capillary
action which prevents the fungicide
from traversing throughout the
length of the tree.
Even tree trunks which have been
poisoned are still able to bring
forth fruiting of fungus containing
the disease. One big drawback in
the fight against the oak wilt dis
ease is the mystery Of how the
disease is transferred. There are a
number of theories. Included in
possible methods of transfer are
birds, wind, OF. fungus growth from
tree to tree through root systems.

This and That {.

A Bethesda resident wants to know
how long it takes for birds to come to
a newly installed feeding station.
He says that he put out neat feed
ing device four weeks ago. but to date
has had no takers. This is unusual
The average Is about a week.
Wildbirds are suspicious. Their
lives often depend upon having suspi-
cion.
What they fear. along with the rest
of creation, is some sort of trap.
The famous "booby" trap of the
wars is an outstanding example Of the
plain cussedness of the human mind.
A conquering soldier, entering a vii
lage, picks up q telephone. and the
thing explodes, either killing him or
mangling him.
Traps for birds seldom result In
such destruction. but they are just as
much feared; the winged ones have
feared them for countless centuries.
Nature provides traps. too. The
clinging vines are not figures of speech,
but real things, ready to catch and
hold q struggling bird.
Birds that come to feeding station
will require from few days to several
weeks to look over q newly installed
feeder.
II the new box Is put close to q
window. it affords some amusement to
the questing mind of the installer.
He can watch suspicion at work.
All the bird has to do Is fiy in and
eat. but win he do it2

they are not tempted. They ny in,

In this perhaps we may see how
nature operates In all her children, for

invention must make its way. When
the fountain pen came into existence
thousands of conservative men said
they preferred the old-fashioned dip

sons roared at them, saying the phone
company was trying to get people to
do their work for them.
The birds acting skittish over new
feeding station in the yard in time
will get used to it, and then take
it over as their own, but they must
first make up their small minds that
it is all right. and that it means them
no harm.
Sometimes very white foods. such as
popcorn, cottage cheese and even white
bread, seem to frighten the birds. II
there are any Of these foods In feed

He will not.
A million years tell him mo"
He must "case the joint" to use the
crook lingo.
He has every fiber Of his being tell
him stop, look, listen.
He wants to feed, but he wants his
freedom more. OF course, he does not
put it in 50 many words, or brain
waves. even. It is actually in his feet,
his legs, his wings.
They bring him close. then send him
scurrying away for dear life.
That Is it-for dear life. Life is his
all-in-all. He knows nothing else,
nor win ever know. Life Is simplified
for him. He reads no encyclopedias,
picks up no newspaper from his door
step (or center Of the yard. especially
on wet days.)
The bird that comes in the cold to
q new feeding station will look, but
he seldom stops.
Some bold specimen may upset the
pattern slightly, but only slightly. He
may have the supply of seed all to
himself while his more cautious COM
rades range near and far but never
come in.
In this way. the record is kept clear.
This one bird, enjoying the feeder
and It's supply of food all by himself,
is the pioneer, the discoverer, the ex-
plorer.
The amazing fact is that his free
dom from harm apparently makes no
impression on his mates.

Discovery

After careful scientific investigation the
Department of Agriculture has discovered that
the average 70-pound boy uses more energy
than little girl of the same weight He does
so in practically all his activities, including
resting walking, wiping dishes, dressing, un-
dressing, roller skating, etc. OF course, to
parents with young sons and daughters, this
finding will come as one Of the least surprising
bits of news in the past decade. But the de-
partment's experts in straight-faced report
full of special calorie measurements and every
thing, have announced it as if it were equiva-
lent to the blazing Of a fresh trail in the
frontier of human knowledge.
Just what all this has to do with the price
of wheat, or soil conservation, or crop rotation,
or the farm situation in general is hard to
understand. Also hard to understand Is why
the agricultural experts have taken the trouble
to spend their time and the taxpayers money
on such project when they could have arrived
at precisely the same unastounding information
simply by telephoning any home with little
boys and girls in it. Not in long while has
there been better example Of how Govern
ment, when it has nothing else to do, will 60

To the Editor Of The Stor:

o tne Eo1tof or ne Stof:
Tt was all said SO long ago that only
l. school children read 1t now, but it
seems appropriate to recall in this
year of change what Nathaniel Haw-
thorne had to say about officeholders
facing the guillotine Of a new and in
coming Washington administration.
Democrat Hawthorne twice got the
ak from the Wings, first in 1841 when
President William H. Harrison turned
him out of the Boston custom house,
where he was a weigher and gauger.
and again in 1849 when Zachary Taylor
ousted him as surveyor Of customs at
Salem, Mass. Both jobs paid 81 200
per annum, but the Salem position was
important and respected. It was
something like collector of internal
revenue-not protected by civil service.
The Introductory chapter of "The
Scarlet Letter" is entitled 1.-THE Gus
tom House" Hawthorne published this
famous novel in 1850, and no one be-
fore or since has said as fiuently what
he wrote about the Federal officeholder
about to be sacked by new regime.
It might well have been written by a
United States worker looking from his
window on Pennsylvania avenue re-
flecting glumly that he would soon
yield to a new tenant. Permit us to
imagine that Hawthorne wrote looking
out the window of the Salem custom
house:
"A custom house officer, Of long con-
tinuance. can hardly be very praise
worthy or respectable parsonage, for
many reasons: one Of them, the tenure
by which he holds his situation, and
another. the very nature of his business,
which, though I trust. an honest one,
is Of such sort that he does not share
in the united effort of mankind.
"An effect-which I believe to be
observable, more or less, in every in
dividual who has occupied the posi-
tion-is, that while he leans on the
mighty arm OF the Republic. his own
proper strength departs from him. He
loses, in an extent proportioned to the
weakness or force of his original ma
ture. the capability Of self-support. #

the unkindly shove that sends him

Cling world-may return to himself, and

his ground just long enough for his
own ruin, and Is then thrust out, with

Doctors Views on New SibIey

The Star reports 400 home owners
jam hearing to oppose building new
Sibley Hospital on American Univer-
sity campus. Is the 400 symbolic Of a
new elite extending their economic ad-
vantage to include exempetion from
the common humanitieS? AS doctor
deeply resent the snobbery that a
hospital should be opposed like vulgar
intruder or house of i'll fame. It has
been my great and honored privilege
to build and operate hospitals for our
sick and wounded sons on the field of
battle. Now to have q hospital maligned
as an unwelcome guest in an exclusive
community is a bit sickening to my
concepts of democracy and civic duty.
Let us examine the 400's arguments
for ostracism: ID The new Sibley will
lower property values: If true, is it not
more equitable for a wealthy COM
munity to have property deprecated
for a humanitarian cause than poor
community? Must the poor be made
poorer that the more fortunate be
guaranteed their plenty? The humber
Northeast section did not rise in wrath
to exclude the new Providence Hos
pital. Why shouldn't the new Sibley
have an environment of dignity and
quiet for its sick? (2) The New
Sibley will cause a traffic and park
ing problem: The New Sibley will
have seven acres of ground. In
that spacious area. provision will be
made to accommodate the vehicles of
visitors and doctors. It could not create
traffic problem because hospital
visiting hours and peak traffic flow in
the abutting arterial highways are not
coincident. CD For the same reason.
the new Sibley would not create a
hazard for the students Of the Horace
Mann School. Unless they plan night
sessions. school hours and hospital
visiting hours will not be simultaneous.
"a Allow American University to serve
the humanities by building a new hos
pital on its large acreage and you open
the way to commercialize the whole
area: A modern hospital is no more
commercial than a church. In fact.
hospital exemplifies the practical social
mission Of the Christian ethic. Above
all other institutions it symbolizes
mercy. love and neighborly concern.
with the duties Of conscience. In this
cruel age Of ruthless aggression, a COM
munity that blackballs a modern hos
pital in its midst. holds it's own intel
ligent self-interest in contempt. We
would ask the 400 to re-examine their
rejection Of q Christian symbol whose
only commercialism is that 1t serves
those who have the price. But with
Christian humanity 1t also serves those
who lack 1t.

Long Live the Queen!

It would, indeed, be duller world,
were nations alike in general character.
AS it is. we have the incompatible hon.
esty and courage of Finland to emulate;
the calm, unyielding fortitude of Turkey
to admire; the long suffering, hope
and aspiration represented by reborn
Israel to marvel at.
Also, we have, in this Communist
threatened world, that unique phe-
nomenon, the British Commonwealth
Of Nations. This is not one nation
lording it over many. Nor is it group
of nations all Of which are equal in
degree Of culture, and governed in as
much the same way as are any two
States in our own Union.
There seems no pattern anywhere
in the present world. or the world of
history, for this low-presSure yet deeply
vital, association of nations of various
stages of culture, every one of which is
unfolding by natural degrees into every
fuller freedom for the individual citizen.
Immeasurably more united than the
United Nations, this commonwealth of
nations seems to be the greatest gift
to the world of Britain, whose out
standing genius has long been in the
most important and most difficult of
all arts. namely government.
Much poorer. the life of the modern
world would surely be, were no British
Commonwealth of Nations - much
poorer in material things, and still
more so in that greatest Of blessings,
namely personal freedom, which is the
first requirement Of happiness.
Indeed, had there been no Britain,
there would have been no Battle of
Britain to drain away Hitler's lightning,
while that portion of the world which
was still free and not asleep could pre-
pare itself for the inevitable.
In our unmatched wealth and power
today, surely we can afford to give
credit where credit Is due. Surely, 1t
Is good for our own souls to admire all
that is admirable in others. Surely, we
can lose nothing by uniting our voices
with the rest Of the English-speaking
world. this year, and saying sincerely,
Long live the Queen"! The emblem Of
a united commonwealth.
