The Army Reserve annual train

ended this week with the return OF
the 403rd Ordnance Battalion Head
quarters Detachment from Letter
kenny Ordnance Depot, at Cham
bersburg. Pennsylvania Close to
nine hundred Army Reservists took
part in the most active summer
training program in the history of
Delaware's Army Reserve, an in
crease of more than three hundred
over last years attendance
Emphasis, as usual. was placed
on qualifying personnel in apple
able Military occupation specialities
and in sharpening the techniques OF
these with previously acquired
skills. Colonel Francis II. Barnes,
Chief, Delaware Military District,
and Colonel Carl F. Chirico of the
II. s. Army Reserve Advisor Group,
expressed delight at the enthusi-
asm and intelligent effort displayed
by the units visited at camps that
took them to seven different states.
Staff personnel were rated on their
ability to plan, coordinate, execute
fielG exercises, keep their own rec
ords and carry out all administra-
tive functions. Ratings on units
that completed their training, indi-
cate thus far, that the percentage
of Improvement over last years
performance was quite high. This
applied particularly in the field of
discipline. appearance. cooperative
ness, ability TO carry out orders.
and successful completion of field
problems.
Summer training has two in
portant aims" said Colonel Barnes,

teamwork. That this was accom-

The scope of training encom-
passed the classroom and practical
lessons of such subjects as tank
driving, fiscal accounting, map
making. ordnance inspection and
maintenance, field artillery: general
and staff command, anti i-aircraft
and guided missiles, chemical, ra-
biological and meteorological de-

where they entered
The most common borers are
these:
Two-line chestnut borers which
attack all varieties of oaks, beech,
iron-wood, and chestnut. These are
very severe in new home develop
ments where construction has in
1ured existing trees. Flat headed
apple borers which attack not only
apple, but: poplar. willow, syca-
more, oak, hickory, ash, maple.
beech, cherry, linden, and apricot
trees. Bronze birch borers which
start at the top of birch, poplar,
willow and quaking aspen trees
and work down. Dogwood borers
that are so destructive to dogwoods
they can kill tree in a single sea-
son. Hemlock borers on spruce and
hemlock. Austrian, white and
Scotch pines are also attacked by
still other borers.

Death-Dealing Borers
Invade Trees Hit
By Droughts

Borers, the most destructive of
insect pests, are moving in on trees
right now.
They are picking out trees
weakened by this summers scar
ing heat and drought. Suburban
shade trees are taking the blunt
of the attack, according to Don
Cantwell, Area Manager for the
Bartlett Tree ExDert Co.
Countless numbers of borers
have multiplied in wood of trees
injured and debilitated by last
years hurricanes and previous dry
spells. Now as adults they are
emerging, mating and lay eggs in
bark of trees. Within days these
eggs will hatch into grubs that will
tunnel into the trees. girdling as
they go.
Once tree is invaded by bor-
ers, decline is rapid and the tree
may die within year or so, unless
prompt care is given.
Good care means feeding to
build up a trees resistance to at
tack, and pruning and burning dy-
ing and dead limbs kill borers that
may be within. Painting the trunk
and lower limbs with a slurry (wa-
terry pastel of DDT may help. Tiny
