Japanese BEETLES
Beating 1t Here
Fewer Than In '48

East Cleveland's 1854 japanese
beetle count is eight per cent Of
the total beetles trapped in 1948
the year in which the city's high
est count was registered, reports
John A. Cowing, in charge of the
East Cleveland japanese Beetle
Control program.
The peak 1948 count, explains
Mr.. Cowing came four years after
the program was started. Since
then each years count has been
gradually decreasing, except each
four years when the cycle has hit
a high, above the immediate pre-
ceeding three year period. What
will happen in the next four
year cycle due n 1856 remains
to be seen.
East Cleveland began its CONT
nuing beetle control program in
1914 when the soil in more than
200 lots was inoculated with a
bacteria which causes the Milk
Disease. Milk Disease is deadly
to the japanese beetle grub, but it
is harmless to human beings, do
mestic animals and plants. The dis
ease organism is spread through
out the city by birds, the japanese
beetle and it's grub.
Each year 100 or more traps
are set out, and the persons on
whose property they are placed
report the count. The data OBJ
tanned provides the city and the
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Sta
tion of Wooster, with information
on the effectiveness of the Japan
ese beetle control program.

Fourteen Players
Present Program,
For Si.alUiks

Kiwanis Key Club and Keyettes
were guests at the Sinawik's pro.
gram meeting held at the St.
Paul's Parish Hall recently.
A very enjoyable program was
presented by the dramatic class of
the Key West High School under
the direction of Richard Ertzman.
There are fourteen members in
the class, and they call themselves
"The Fourteen Players. Before
the program, Mr.. Ertzman said
that he was little sad as the per-
Torrance marked the last one of
the year for the group, because
the group was losing several men,
bers through graduation.
The class put on a variety of
plays, SkitS, and pantomimes as
well as demonstration on apply
ing various types of makeup. Mr..
Ertzman demonstrated how to &C.
hieve the effect of a scar on the
cheek, using Paul Avery as a mo-
del.
The Fourteen Players" are:
Paul Avery, Sarah Bringman, Jan
Thompson, EVE Kaelin, Marilyn

Ion, and the whimsical Lilac
Tree
All guests were shown through
the house from stem to stern to
view the amazing accomplishments
in renovating performed mainly by
the boys of the Center. The more
intrepid Of the visitors climbed all
the way to the roof where from
the balustraded captains walk
they enjoyed a moonlight view of
key West and the sea.
| A particularly interested guest
present was Mrs. J. Y. Porter, Jr.
For it is due to DR.. J. Y. Porter's,
generous cooperation in selling the
fine old mansion for the purpose
of use as Servicemen's Christian
Center, that Thursday nights
h0usewarming was a reality.
Manned by Nom and Pop Gre
CORY (Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gre
gory) - the closest thing to real
dad and nom that any service lad
away from home ever saw - the
Servicemen's Christian Center is a
place where many a boy who might
otherwise be wandering lonesome
ly around town can come for fell
lowship with other lads of similar
interests. Here he may write let
tiers from just such a little room
as he might have had back home;
he may lounge in the library -
even peer between the covers of
the Bible without being thought
odd! He can play the piano; sling
a pingpong ball; paint the stairs
for Nom; or NOW the lawn for
Dad in short, it is a place
where he simply makes like being
at home.
1t is really something to hear the
enthusiasm with which the boys
tell of the happiness they get from
the Center. What the Gregorys are
doing here is splendid beyond ex-
preston. Literally the answer to
a parents prayer!' And a very
great boon to the whole town of
Key West which should be proud
ly conscious of the Servicemen's
Center at 62O Southland Street.

stead of the accuser. The Army
claims that he brought pressure to
bear in an attempt to get special
treatment for Pvt. David Schine.
formerly connected with the Sen.
ate investigating committee in an
unofficial status. ] think this re.
versed role is going to be good
for Senator Mccarthy. It will knock
some Of the cockiness out of him.
No one has ever doubted Me-
Carthy's sincerity In attempting to
expose un-American activities. The
trouble is that he has allowed his
impetuous nature to carry him
overheard. He has a habit of
bulldozing witnesses on the stand
and although his immunity az a
senator allows him to get away
with this sort Of conduct, he can
not possibly maintain the respect
Of the American people by such
actions.
As far as I can see, the Senate
investigating committee ended It's
usefulness when It started engaging
In a name-calling contest with the
Army. We all know or suspect
that there are Reds In the Armed
Services; there are probably many
Of them serving as scientists and
working on atomic energy pro-
jects tool But, by the same token,
We undoubtedly have many Outs.
lings In Congress.
It seems to me that the best
way to discover all Of these I'M
desirable characters Is through q
quiet, continuous investigation that
doesn't give our enemies an op-
portunity to capitalize on our ap-
parent hysteria. Moreover, doubt
seriously II politicians are the ones
best able TO conduct such probes.

with her eyes upon Aunt Del

do with those questions he was
asking about Colonel Dumont's
death that evening at supper.
You remember? And I believe his
own death was in some way con-
nected with the thing, whatever
it was, that Colonel Damcnt had
found out shortly before he died.
That's why the way Uncle Raoul
died may be important"
I didn't follow that and said
Bobby tried to explain. sIf he
committed suicide, like Lee did,
then whatever it was he found
out, no matter how terrible il
was, was something natural But
il he didnt-if he died the way
Claude did-then II had 10 be-
the other thing"
Then a new thought occurred
to me: Beau also possessed that
knowledge, or claimed that he
did. Did that mean that he?
But ] refused even to consider
that idea. No matter how hideous
the secret was, Beau wouldn't
seek death as a way out He had
