Spring Burning
SAYS No Merit In

Any way you look at it, spring
burning is horse and buggy prac-
tice that does more harm than
good, according to r. K. Davis,
Ohio State University extension
specialist in wildlife conservation.
Spring burning doesn't even con-
troll weeds, Davis points out. In
stead, it controls desirable grasses
and legumes and makes it possible
for weeds to move into the burned
area. When practiced in fence
rows or roadside bitches it can
damage or destroy wood fence
posts, galvanized fence and utility
poles and create a hazard to near
by buildings. 1t also can destroy
wildlife or wildlife nesting areas.
Young rabbits are in the nest
now, Davis says, and are helpless
before fire. Later in the season
; burning will dest oy quail and
pheasant nests. Where burning
doesn't destroy wildlife directly it
often forces birds and animals into
less desirable living quarters,
Davis explains.
The wildlife specialist also notes
that spring burning in destroying
vegetative cover, leaves the ground
vulnerable to erosion.

Electrical Engineers

The Washington Section of the
American Institute of Electrical
Engineers, at its first meeting
lof the season at 8 pm. Tuesday

He is Walter Schaelchlin, con-

will be made a Fellow in the In
Istitute. Cullen T. Pearce, vice
president of the Institute, repre-
lsenting the Middle Eastern Dis
Itrict, will bestow the honor.
Mr.. Schaelchlin has been out
standing as a designer, developer

revenue dollar represents profit
after taxes.
Similarly, the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co. reports
that its Bell System, which
operates 48 million of the Ma
TONS SO million telephones,
gets about IL cents of each
revenue dollar after taxes.
Standard Oil of New Jersey
which engages in all activities OF
the petroleum industry in many
parts of the world, says its profit
have been averaging 10 and II
cents of the revenue dollar fol-
several years after taxes.
Lack knowledge of Stocks
From these figures and the
comments of teen-agers on the
nature of big business, it is OBJ
vious that youth has no concep-
ton of American industry and
knows even less about the nature
Iof stockholders.
This is aptly illustrated by the
fact that only 10 per cent of the
youngsters interviewed coulo
even vaguely define the term
common stock" Few had any
idea how many stockholders owr
shares in large company. there
by missing a vital element in
their insistence that America is
run by big business"
Nevertheless. or perhaps be-
cause of these beliefs, only one
out of eight young men in high
school expects or has any desire
to go into business for himself
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-07

opinions but also their knowledge
of the major industries of our
country.
One question asked was: TEL
me everything that comes to your
mind when you hear the words
big business.
Nearly 81 per cent of those in
terviewed thought of big business
in a negative sense, as sort of a
giant monopoly spread across all
America. They feared the future
will see all free enterprise swal-
lowed up in one or two gigantic
trusts.
EnvisiOn Greater Bigness
The consensus was that within
the next decade and a half there
will be one or two large COM
panies representing each indi-
vidual industry.
All this sounds more like an
account in Russian newspaper
than a report about American
secondary school students. How
ever, these are their reactions.
The lack of information among
teen-agers about some of oul
major industries comes at a
time when companies are spend
ing more and more money or
school materials and educational
literature such as films, books
displays and charts.
Some of these corporations
have entire divisions set up fol-
the development of aids to pro-
mote better understanding
among school children of theiI
products and services.
Many Misconceptions
But somehow or other the free
enterprise message is not get
ting across. The school boys OF
today will have many miscon-
ceptions to unlearn if they are
to grow up to be the industrial
leaders of the 1905. And il
would seem wise procedure fol
more industries to re-examine
the ways of getting facts across
to teen-agers and to plan educa-
tlonal programs that will il
IuStrate the factual story of
American industry.
For instance, in another study
OF 5,4O3 young people, our or
ganlzation found that one Out
OF three teen-agers thinks that
electric and telephone companies
make between Is and 40 cents
on every dollar of income: ano
one out of 10 thinks they make
80 cents or more.
Furthermore, practically 40
per cent of these young people
think that oil companies make
80 cents per dollar and one out
OF nine thinks they make more
than so cents or more.
