ceived public recognition for hav-
ing demonstrated outstanding
ability in management of his wood
land.
Thaycr explained that Mr.. Steyer
had demonstrated "outstanding
ability in management of his
woodland"

had demonstrated this ability by
utilizing the woodlands in such a
manner that they have provided
him with three harvest cuts in
the forty year period that he has
managed them. In this period he
has also protected his woodland
from fire.

partment of Forests and Parks de-
sires to single out Mr.. Steyer and
afford him the honor of being the
first Tree Farmer in Garrett
county.
The Tree Farm system which had
its origin in Washington state in
1871, has now spread to 36 states
and encompasses some % million
acres of privately owned forest
lands.
Thayer stated that the depart
ment is progressing on plans for
the dedication ceremony and pro-

Screen Can Hide Unsiqht|y Trash Area
By Douglas Tuomey


Many of the best houses built
during the last few years show
a decided trend toward making
a feature of the rear of the
house.
This shows itself strongly in
the development of terraces
across the back of the house.
where sun-bathing and loung-
ing can be INDUCED in with
privacy. One of the drawbacks
to this idea is that the average
house has a kitchen door or
entrance also at the back of the
house, and this is the spot, of
course, where the refuse can
and waste-paper containe ers S
often must be kept. o.. q
The answer to any such prob
lem is solved by making a screen
of two or three shutters or
plain panels of wood. These
are hinged so that they may be
folded back, and they are also
hinged to a strip nailed to
the rear wall of the house.
Just enough space is left be-
tween the screen and the door,
way to accommodate the cans
or containers you want to keep
out of sight.
From the viewpoint Of color,
the screen should match the wall
of the house so as to be as in
conspicuous as possible. Hinges
should be galvanized and strong
enough to hold the screen up
right without sagging to the
floor of the terrace.
There are other uses for such
screens outside of hiding objec-
tionable things. They can be
installed to act as wind breaks
or as sun shades.
They can be made to stand

edge so as to be easy to move
from one place to the other.
Properly proportioned, these
screens are an addition to any
porch or terrace.

U. N. EXPERT SAYS ISRAEL
LACKS TECHNICIANS

UNITED NATIONS, (JTA) -
The lack of trained technicianS in
Israel was emphasized here by
Prof. Walter C. Lowdermilk,
American soil conservation ex-
pert, at a press conference ar
ranged by the United Nations
Secretariat. Prof. Lowdermilk
spent more than two years in Is
rael on a technical assistance as
signment of the UN Food and
Agriculture Organization.
Asked about Israel's hydoelec-
trio project on the Jordan River,
the American expert said that the
project is of great Importance. He
emphasized that "the diversion of
the Jordan for the production of
hydroelectric power in no way
consumes the water so diverted,
but the water is returned after
the power has been extracted
from it, so to speak, back into the
Sea of Galilee or the Sea of Tiber-
las"
Prof. Lowdermilk suggested
that the United Nations take the
lead in forming commission of
reconstruction Of the development
of the Middle East. ''The members
on that commission would come
from the countries concernd i'm
mediately," he said. The best basis
for such collaboration would be
on river basins, of which there
are number in the Middle East,
he declared.
