Prune Shade Trees
Now, Is Advice

Now is good time to prune
your shade trees. In the late winter
and early spring, while trees are
dormant and leaves gone, it's easy
to see which branches should be
cut and where thinning is desirable.
Carl johnson, Extension land
scapc specialist, University of
Maryland, says trees, like human
beings, need adequate food and
moisture and a bit of surgery when
and where it is necessary if they
are to stay healthy. A weakened
tree is natural victim for attack
by insects and disease.
Remove dead and broken branch
es and paint wounds with coat of
shellac, followed by either an as
phalt base tree paint or ordinary
house paint. This prevents water
from draining into the tree, causing
rot. 1t also seals up what might be
an easy entrance for fungus and
insects.
Some thinning may be necessary,
especially if branches grow SO
closely together that they rub
against one another. This can cause
wounds that make easy disease and
insect entries Weak crotches should
be corrected with cable supports so
chat the trees won't break down in
windstorms.
johnson points out that a tree
can be weakened primarily by
drought and starvation. Normally
you need not be too concerned about
drought and starvation. In years OF
normal rainfall, trees get an ade-
quate moisture supply, and if the
ground isn't too poor, they get al
adequate food supply. The long dry
| spcll of last summer and fall might
have been injurious to trees, but
the ground is apparently getting {
good supply of moisture this win.

should put trees back in good shape

County Roads will Be Checked
BY Radar For Speeding Autos

He can, if the dial indicates the
vehicle to be moving in excess Of
the legal limit, iot down the license
number. The proof that the vehicle
was speeding is being recorded on
a paper graph in the form of line
that matches a printed indication.
Every passing vehicle is picked
up by the radar. When the traffic
is heavy, the Indicator needle shows
the speed of the first vehicle, then
jumps to the next in line. The radar
can also catch the speed of vehicles
going away from it.
I'VE are enthusiastic about the
radar device, because we believe
that it will be a great help in al
.leviating some real dangers. Let's
say family living on a state road
tells us that the traffic is SO fast
that children are in danger, and
that property is subject to danger.
We could send Trooper and a
meter to the location. If the radar
showed us that there really was ex-
cessive, and therefore dangerous,
speeding on the road, we would ask
ourselves, why is there speeding? ?"
Perhaps our traffic engineers would
find that a reduction in the speed
limit was needed, or that more
warning signs were required. SO
we would erect the signs, and a lit
/ tie later, use the meter again to see
if they were being needed. And if
the results were not satisfactory
we would start making arrests"
Corporal Conrad will be in charge
of the device in Garrett and Allie
gany counties.

Maryland's State Police are not
as hard-hearted as some people
think.
For the past month, a little black
box has been proving to them that
certain motorists have been speed
ing on certain roads, yet they have
made very few arrests. That is not
the intentional least for some
time That's because the little black
box, part Of an accurate, compact
and portable radar unit, is being
used for a different purpose.
It's an intricate device called the
Electro-Matic Speedmeter. Corporal
Sam Conrad explained it this way;
I'VE place it near a road, point it
at traffic, look at dial and find
out exactly how fast car is going.
It's got a graph hooked up to it,
too, that records the speeds.
at will not be used as speed
trap. 1t will be used to study the
speed of vehicles in certain high
accident areas. We are also plan
ming to use it to determine the eff
fectiveness of our speed enforce
ment program.
"The unit is simple in appear
ance. The little black box, a COM
bined receiver-transmitter, is con-
nected by a wire to second box
fronted with a gauge resembling
an automobile speedometer. This, in
turn, is connected with small
power unit, which can be hooked
up with graph mechanism that
automatically records the speed of
each passing vchicle-and the time
that it passed.
"A single Trooper can assemble
the equipment in five minutes. All
he has to do is park his patrol car
at the side of the road, place the
radar rcceiver-transmitter on a
stand made for this use, making
sure that it's antenna side is aimed
at the traffic, prop the indicator
box in front of him, put the storage
battery power unit on the ground,
open the cover of the graph mech
anism and flick a switch
Then the transmitter throws
micro-wavcs down the road; when
vehicle comes within $50 feet, the
waves strike it and bounce back to
its receiver. The length of time re-
quired by the waves to leave the
transmitter, hit their target" and
reach the receiver is flashed to a
dial on the Indicator box that is
calibrated in miles per hour.
AS each vehicle comes into
range, the Trooper watches the
needle on the dial jump to the ex-
act speed the vehicle is travelling.
