THIS !. AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

No sooner did q pioneer
select a site. than he had to
clear it.
There is something dismal,
almost, about q mighty forest.
The trees have a way of crowd
ing in on one. not only physi-
cally, but also mentally and
even spiritually.
To save ones sanity, one
must clear the land.
\ \ y
The advent of the bulldozer
introduced a new and different
note in what may be called
necessary work.
Instead of the thing being
done in a graceful manner, It
now becomes almost obscene in
its haste and ruthlessness.
It points to the might of the
machine, and its inhumane-
ness. We are all the victims Of
machines. nowadays, as well as
the beneaciaries and we must
do the best we can with them.
Instead of trying to move
large trees. we must attempt
to take care of the ones we
have, and to urge the plant
ing Of more smaller trees.
Large trees are a menace in
a built-up residence commu-
ility.
The larger they are, the
harder they fall!
There are many fine smaller
trees, the very kind for the
best residential use. But too
many people fail somehow to
interest themselves in them.
We will never forget the
sight of a home in strange
Northwest suburban develop
ment, in Just such an area of
treeless streets as is mentioned
above.
This one home, with two
GOOD small trees. presented an
absolutely different appear
ance. and helped the entire
community.
There is nothing to take the
place Of trees.

a Ir1enu OF trees IeelS pretty
badly that so many Of them
have to come down in every
building operation.
Recently we lived a few
months opposite a site in this
town which was being pre-
pared for a flock Of three-bed-
room brick ramblers." writes
A. E. r. Of Laurel, Md.
"All was serene when we
moved in. The Maryland woods
stood solidly across the street
from our house and birds of
all kinds few nearby.
"One morning a dreadful
rumbling drew me to the win
dow.
There was a yellow behe-
moth chewing the earth and
pushing over tree after tree
trees ] had considered so beau-
tifully formed and perfect.
Three days later, three
huge funeral pyres were set
afire and after two weeks the
ashes of those trees were
plowed under.
Thoughts lead me on and
when I see hot ShadelesS areas
sections with no trees or
flowers to charm the eye
Il wonder why, If trees must
be uprooted. they cannot be
carried by truck and set in
places where their beauty and
shade will be appreciated
Il think God must approve
our desire to save His handi-
work and bless any efforts
made to transport and share
His trees with Others"
II + y 4
Certainly, realtors, builders
and others would agree with
this plea. at least in theory.
They have tried to help by
keeping all the trees they can.
This has been a good develop
ment of the last 20 years or so
From a practical standpoint,
however. such digging up and
transportation of trees costs
too much.
To dig UP a great tree and
save as much of the root sys-
tenn as possible, costs hun
dreds of dollars.
Very few persons, except
millionaires, can pay for this
work.
It is much the same with the
great reserves Of foodstuffs
stored up In various pro
grams" of the past years.
So simple, it seems, to give
1t away-but the very giving
1t away entails hundreds of
paid employees and the very
transportation, especially to
distant lands, demands hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars.
Il \ \
Every friend Of trees who
sees a fine one uprooted by a
bulldozer, feels much as our
correspondent.
The main feeling is that OF
helplessneSs.
No doubt the bulldozer does
it.
To watch men dig around a
tree and finally fell it. is bad
enough, but it may be called
natural, in a sense.
It has been going on for
several hundreds Of years In
America.
Our farms and towns and
cities were created this way.

The fact that both Kefauver
and Stevenson have neither.
so far, announced he viii enter
the New Hampshire primary
the first to be held among
the States-is significant. The
psychological effect Of q first
victory Is not overlooked by
either candidate. Kefauver got
q great lift in 1852 by winning
the New Hampshire primary,
over q delegation pledged to
the then President Truman.
1t would seem almost certain
the Tennessean viii try for
another victory there. The
problem for the Stevenson sup
porters is more dificult.
II Stevenson enters New
Hampshire and wins-he will
come out Of 1t practically UNI
beatable for the nomination.
But II he should lose. 1t would
be a bad blackeye. Minnesota,
on the other hand. Is q prob
lem for Kefauver. 1t is the
second State primary In mat
ter Of time. He entered that
primary in 1852. but withdrew
and left the field to a favorite
son-Senator Humphrey. New
ertheless some 10000 Farmer
Labor Democrats took the
trouble to write In Kefauver's
name IN that primary.
Another State which may
give Kefauver pause is Ohio.
In 1852, he entered the Ohio
primary against a favorite-son
candidate. former Senator
Buckley, and won 80 out Of
the States Sc delegates. But
now Gov. Frank Lausche--five
times Governor ~ has an
nounced himself at least a
favorite-son candidate.
With Kefauver's announced
candidacy, the Democratic
presidential picture has hard
ened. Stevenson is the only
other formally announced can
didate. But Gov. Averell Har-
riman of New York might as
well have tossed his hat in
the ring-Carmine g. DeSapio,
Tammany boss and Harriman's
secretary of state, has done
it for him. Gov. G. Mennen
Williams of Michigan is dab
bling his feet in the presiden-
tial pool. This about makes
up the winter book for the
race.
Stands Good Chance
It has been the hope of Har-
rimarL who says he will not
enter any of the primaries,
that Kefauver would take on
Stevenson and materially slow
down the Stevenson band
wagon. With Kefauver buffet
ing Stevenson, the New York
Governor figures he stands a
good chance, backed by the big
New York delegation, Of grab
bling the prize.
If Kefauver succeeds in stop
ping Stevenson-who is going
to stop Kefauver? Probably
not Hartman or anyone else.

the fire of a vital problem

Politics. at its best. never

Interpreting News
by J. M. Roberts "A. P. News Analyst

American efforts 10 accentu- ate the positive at Geneva fall far short of eliminating the negative.
 Secretary Dulles enumerates several points where East-West viewpoints are approaching each other. The west seems to be taking the propaganda line that, since negotiations can be continued, the foreign minis ters conference is positive gain. It's not easy to swallow.
 Indeed, while the ministers have shown no signs of any real agreement, the Russians have re-iniectel into these discus sions an element of discord which has been played down in formal conferences for some time.
 That is the everlasting Rus sian effort to advance connrnun- ist theology.
 Molotov cooly laid it back on the conference table with his insistance that any solution of the German problem include protection for communist insti- trItions in East Germany. He de nied the right of the German people as a whole to have any voice in that.
 The Russian "new look" also has been badly spattered by her admission, after hiding for a time behind the claim that it was Czech business, that the communist arms deal with Egg ypt was really made in retalia- tion against the new north tier Middle East defense pact.
 It is notable, too, that the recently announced communist slogans for another year return ed in many respects to the Stal in line, even to quoting from his prescriptions for expansion.
 The West needs 10 be very sure that in continuing the pre- sent negotiations against all

 The sense of necessity which made possible the North Allan tic Treaty Organization is be- ing allowed to fall away.
 A situation is developing in which, lby freezing such situa- tions as that of Germany and the Eastern European satellites in an effort to extend the pre- sent period of co-existence, the certainty of a new war. some time, could be established.
 And the Russians are demon strating in the Middle East, and through their continuing pro- paganda, that a freeze in Eur ope, solidfying what they have there, would only free them for tactical work in other areas where bars to expansion and subversion have not been so firmly established.

Liquor poses
 problem at Kitinlut

KITIMAT. B. c. (P) Reeve Wilbur Hallman, in a drive on bootlegging and excessive drinking in this north coast aluminium town, today called on the provincial government 10 open "a liquor store here to combat a desperate sit tion".
 Liquor is coming in in great quantities." he said in an in- terview. ''We are in a desper- ate situation and until we get a store where the individual may buy his liquor by the bot tie, we will have excessive ordering"
 At present, he said, liquor had to be ordered a week in advance by sea or air from Van couver 400 miles to the south or by rail from Terrace. B. e. 40 miles to the north.
 At one time last Christ mas" Reeve said, "there was 28 tons of liquor on the dock. Planes would book passengers on outward flights only, re- turning with full loads of li- quor."
 Construction workers in the past few years, he said, had been ordering their liquor by the case, then selling half of it at $10 a botte to cover '.he shipping cost and pay for their own habit.
 Our convictions for boot logging are few" he said, ''but rumors say a man went out
