Plans have been completed,

show to be held Saturday and

This years show will occupy
space in three of the high school
buildings and will have Is per

crowding than in previous years.
There will be a number of
educational exhibits by craft
clubs, garden clubs and individ-
uals as well as displays by a

Chestnut Borers
Found Domogine
Many Oak I rees

Oak trees in many new home
developments are being seriously
injured and frequently killed by
q destructive inSect-the two
line chestnut borer.
For years the trees stood un-
harmed. Then a few years after
the subdivision sprung up they
began to decline, according to
entomologiStS.
The crowns turn brown. Whole
branches wither and die. Home
owners who purchased the sites
because Of the trees wonder what
has happened. This is the chain
of events:
The two-lined chestnut borers
which have switched their
preference to oak trees since a
blight a generation ago killed of
the chestnut trees-prefer weak
ened trees.
Unwittingly in the creation Of
the subdivision the trees have
been injured. Bulldozers mangled
their roots. Construction of
houses, roads and walks and the
laying Of water and gas mains
harmed their root systems.
Sometimes the trunks were badly
mutilated. Often the grade
around the trees was changed by
additional fill, thus altering the
water table or sutfocating the
roots. In other cases excavation
of soil around the trees was
equally deleterious.
BOrerS Move In.
Then the borers moved in,
attacking anywhere, along the
trunk, large or small branches.
Once inside a tree they girdle.
severing the trees tiny internal
pipelines. And they build up in
many places to enormous poplu-
lationS.
Tree owners can save already
infested oaks or stave off future
attacks by pruning and burning
dead and dying limbs and build
ing up a trees resistance to
attack by feeding.

All they do is break down and

All a freshest would do was
carry away the days milk supply,
and when a drought hit, you just

You didn't have to find a repair
man to keep everything from

We moved our freezer into the

taking a long time to cool off

thermometer the mercury almost
ran out at the bottom. It was

Now We have been operating it
by pulling the plug every time
the temperature gets to 10

thing that worries me is how we
are going to get the repairman
in to fix it.
There is about 10 inches of
space between the freezer and
the wall, and so far Jane has
been the only one who could
get in.
I sent her in the other night to
try and jiggle the control switch

Wine Festivals Add Sparkle
ToEurope's Fall Holidays

Europe's fall wine festivals
are as numerous as bubbles in

find them everywhere that grapes
are grown, in tiny villages and
great cities, with celebrations
varying from dancing and wine
sampling in the streets to huge
festivals with mardi-graS type

the National Parks, are one of
the most sought-after prizes in
the whole vacation field. Rela-
lively scarce, they can't match
the summer demand and the
snug, well-appointed log houses,
with all the comforts Of honxs,
are booked solidly through June,
July and August.
For those who can time their
vacations to the fall color sea-
son of the woodlands, West Vir-
ginia is making an attractive
cabin offer. The State Division
of Parks has "packaged" a cabin
vacation week particularly for
residents of the Washington
area.
It's too luxurious to be called
camping out, even though such
activities as fishing and boat
ing, tennis and horseshoes and
broiling steaks on an outdoor
| fireplace are within walking
minutes of the front door. The
weeks package, priced at $3.50
per person, includes not only a
cabin amply furnished for
housekeeping, but frees the fem
mime side of the family from
kitchen duties by providing 81
meals prepared in park kitchens
and served in pine-paneled din
ing rooms. 0Specialities are
steak, chicken and country ham.
Electrical Godgets
For the comforts of home, the
cabins have electric lights,
ranges and refrigerators, modern
bathrooms, hot and cold run
ming water, beds and bedding.
dishes, silverware and cooking
utensils. Thus it's possible to
step from the car and set up
cookless housekeeping by car
rying in only clothing and other
personal effects.
About the only extra thing to
buy is a nonresident fishing
license. To battle the hard
fighting trout in the lakes, the
head of the family pays $3.50,
with SO cents additional for each
fishing member of the family.
An all-year tourist license to pull
bass from the nearby streams
costs So. Boats are included in
the package price.
81 Miles Awoy
Two of West Virginia's several
parks have been chosen for the
experimental vacations directed
particularly to the Nations
Capital. One is only 81 miles
from downtown Washington.
That's Cacapon State Park,
nearly 5000 acres of rolling
woodlands in the States eastern
panhandle. The other is Wa
toga State Park, a recreational
area high in the mountains in
the southeastern part of the
State. The 221-mile trip from
D. c. includes much of the
Mountain States Allegheny
scenery.

of all, visitors are always well

and be swept right into the gay
proceedings.
Continental interest
When you consider that some
four million acres of French
countryside and comparable
space in Germany, Italy. Spain
and Portugal are devoted to
grapes and that a good percent
age of the population is in some
way involved in the growing,
bottling and selling of wine, one
can easily see why there is con-
tinent-wide interest in harvest
time. 1t is a matter of national
economic concern whether this
years vintage will be one of those
labeled very great" by gour-
NETS whose sensitive taste buds
help set the price for wine all
over the world.

+ Coming up this week is another
railroad family plan that travel
erS to such distant points as the
West Coast might look into for
a cash saving while travelling
in streamlined luxury.
For about a year, a number
of Eastern rail lines have oper-
ated a family and group travel
discount on coaches to points
inland. On Tuesday. the Union
Pacific will open up parts of the
West to similar savings. The
principal difference is that, like
the family plan offered for years
by airlineS, UPS trips must be
begun on Monday, Tuesday or
Wednesday; also that the rates
to be cut 25 per cent or more
involve f1rst-class tickets, not
coaches.
Pullman charges are not af-
fected; only transportation tick
cts that entitle passengers to buy
Pullman accommodations. And
here are a few examples of
savings the family plan will
affect:
A man and his wife making
a one-way trip will save 25 per
cent of the cost of a first-claSS
ticket on the Union Pacific or
on runs to and from Chicago
and st. Louis operated jointly
with the Chicago & North West
ern and Wabash Railroads.
Five Con Save S166
A family consisting of a man,
his wife and three children be-
tween the ages of II and %,
making a round-trip from Chi
cago to Los Angeles, will save
$166 in the purchase of first
class rail tickets. Such reduc-
tions in fare automatically add
further savings by reducing the
charge on which the Is per cent
Federal transportation tax must
be paid.
Under the q. p. family plan,
the head Of the family pays the
full one-way fare in one or both
directions. The other parent
and all children from 5 to %
years of age pay only half the
one-way fare in each direction.
Children under 5 continue to
travel free.
Pullman accommodations must
be purchased at the regular rates.
