HORSES ARE VEHICLES

PARSONS, Kan. - (P) - A
$4,000 damage suit puts this prob
lem to a Cherokee County jury: To
what extent must a riding horse
be fitted out with head and tail
lights?
The suit was brought by Jack
Conrad, who was hit by a truck
while canteTing down a highway.
The defense noted COnrad's horse
had been unlighted after dark.
When a lower court struck out
this part of the defense contention
as irrelevant, the Kansas Supreme
Court reversed the decision. It
sent the case back for trial, as
serting that horses are vehicles
in the legal sense and subject to
rules of the road.

How To Combat And
Correct Winter Injury
To Evergreens

Winter injury Of evergreens, so
often blamed on high winds in
February and March, is due in
even larger degree than common
ly recognized to action Of the sun
now climbing higher in the sky.
On. a bright winter day the sun
sucks moisture out Of the leaves.
Injury results when roots of the
plants are frozen and cannot re-
plenish the lost evaporation.
Don Cantwell, of the Bartlett
Tree Expert Company, says many
evergreens in exposed sites already
are taking on a dull green look,
even yellOWish in hue. Later they
will brown. Death to whole
branches, if the injury continues or
is complete, may be detected by
early spring.
BoXWOOd, arbOrvitae, upright jun
ipers (red CEDAR and some of the
yews are most susceptible. Low
growing forms Of evergreens seem
to fare better. Generally, damage
/ is worse on the south or southwest
side of plants. Injury resulting
from desiccating action of high
winds is more peTseptible on
plants growing on the north or
northwest side Of houses or on sites
where building defect wind cur
rents against them.
Winter injury is frequently mis-
taken in early spring for damage
by spider mites begun the prev
iOus summer or fall
Burlap and other type screens
are the best protection against win
ter injury by sun and wind. Where
/ evergreens are used as windbreaks
this protection cannot always be
given.
Winter injury can destroy the
symmetry of an evergreen. Big
holes result where branches die
In early spring, dead twigs and
/ leaves should be carefully pruned
cut. Clever, patient gardeners can
rearrange the remaining limbs and
tie them over the gaps so that the
holes will be filed with subse-
quent growth.
Feeding with a well-balanced
tree food is the best way to stimu-
late this growth as well as aid the
plant to speedily recover. MulcheS
added even now may help an ever.
green through the remainder of the
winter and they will be of equa
value during hot dry days mex
summer.

IFS Tough To
Become A Citizen
BY CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newslsalurss Wrilsr

AP NoWsfouiuFes Writer
Citizenship OF the United States
is a precious birthright for millions
Of lucky Americans. For other mill
lions, it is a precious gift, sought
anxiOusly and. once obtained.
cherished.
This I know-and each days
headlines remind me anew of my
good fortune to be an American.
Helping somebody else to become
a citizen can be a most difficult
experience unnecessarily so,
it seems to me.
A fOFeign.bOFn friend, seeking
naturalization, asked me to be one
Of her two witnesses, an invitation
/ considered an honor and a duty.
In fact, / felt extremely patriotic
about the whole business.
AS it turned out, it was frus-
trating chore rather than a privi-
lege and if my friend comes
through the experience feeling
more like a can of beans at the
end of a production line than a
free, Independent citizen of the
United States, / don't blame her
one bit.
We were herded about like sheep
in a stockyaTd. We lost our iden-
tity in favor of a number. The
actual business of being examined,
interrogated n interviewed
(which was done skillfully, care
fully and sympathetically) con-
sumed something like Is or 90
minutes. But for the rest of the
long hours we squirmed on wood
en- benches in a large impersOnal
/ room while one stenOgrapher pro-
cessed the papers from three or
more examiners as more and more
men and women cooled their heels
and watched the clock.
None Of this would have been
too annoying If there had not been
plenty Of clerical workers floating
aimlessly about the Office, smoking
stopping for gay conversations but
never seeming to do much work
And all utterly ignoring the hope
fuls and their friends.
At first I occupied myself by
thinking bitterly of myself as q
taxpayer supporting this lacka.
daisical establishment. Then / de.
bated how long a private busines:
run in this casual way would stay
in existence. After that I wondered
how applicants for citizenship evel
managed to find sponsoring wit
nesses who could leave their wOrl
for large portions of the day ant
| still have jobs when they got back
But finally I became most an
nOyed when I thought of the effec
this impersOnal, careless treatmen
must have on the men and womel
who want to become citizens 0
this country. Dampening, at best
1 concluded, and cynic-making a
well.
I'm sure that it is difficult 70
people dealing with naturalization
proceedings not to become inure
to the nervous, eager people VIII
come to them. But / think that
/ they were reminded frequently q
their responsibilities, those wit
whom they deal would come ava
from the experience better citizen
and more aware of their blessing
My recollection of naturalizatiO
proceeding is just one of bureau
cracy at its Indifferent worst.
