Find Leaf Beetles
In Wuferton Park
by Mrs. Bessie Armand

WATERFOWL. F. LaRue Of
Calgary, forest zoologist with the
federal department of agriculture
spent four days in Watertor
Lakes National Park. He was ex-
amining forest areas for insect in
festations and other types of tree
diseases.
An outbreak of aspen tortrix has
been reported along the Chief
Mountain highway. In this infes-
tation the American eating
beetle (Pytodecta americana) lar
vac curl the tree leaves around
themselves causing leaves to die
and hence a brown discoloration
to set in.
Defoliation caused by Phytodecta
infestation has also been noted on
some trees on the park golf course.
During his inspection trip to
Waterton Lakes, Mr.. LaRue con-
ferred with Robert Boucher of
Calgary, forest pathologist with
the department of agriculture, re-
garding the cause of a disease
which has infected trembling aspen
in the park.
The disease causes dumping of
the foliage.
This clumping disease is quite
common in trees in Waterton
Lakes National Park, but is not
confined to this area alone. The
disease extends throughout the
Crow Nest Pass area on the east
ern slopes of the Rocky Noun
tainS.
When the cause OF the disease
and extent of the infestation war
rant it, spraying with a chemical
preventative will be carried out
by the department.
Mr.. LaRue will return again this
week for further examination of
the Waterton Lakes National Park
forest areas.
BUFFALO HERD FEATURE
The herd of 13 buffalo in the

That the buffalo are now content

The Montana Highway Patrol
listed eight rules for adults-par-
ents and motorists-to follow to
safeguard children in traffic.
Parents should:
l. Set children a good example
by crossing streets only at inter-
sections, waiting for the signal,

looking both ways and for turning
traffic before crossing.
2. Find out what traffic safety
education your children are re-
ceiving at school and coordinate
your own instruction with it.
3. Impress upon children the
danger of playing in the street or
near moving traffic. See that they
play only in approved play areas.
4. See that children are skilled
in using outdoor toys such as
roller skates, bicycles, scooters,
tricycles and wagons, and that the
youngsters practice safety rules
when using the toys.
Motorists should:
/. Keep a constant lookout for
children. Even when children are
clearly in view, their actions some
times are unpredictable.
