The sergeant said. II don't know

question. the sergeant cried out /:

Weekly Tree Talk
Tops of DOgw0Od Trees Dying
Weather Conditions Are Blamed

Dogwood trees are in trouble
throughout eastern U. S. The tops
are dying back. There is an in
creasing amount of deadwood in
the crown. In some cases leaves
of a branch here and there are
whiting.
1t is not due to a disease. Nei-
ther is this condition caused by
an insect. 1t is the result of the
heat and drought of the summer
of 1855, plus intense cold periods
during last winter, according TO
! Don Cantwell, District Manager of
the Bartlett Tree Expert Com
pany.
The soaring heat wave of July,
last year, followed by period of
drought damaged and killed some
of the roots of dogwood trees.
DogwoOds are shallow-rooted
trees.
This injury was compounded by
relatively open winter in many
areas. During part of the winter
there were severe cold spells.
This spring the dogwoods looked
fine. Blossoms were abundant.
Then the injury caught up with
them. Tops began to die. even
though the foliage on the lower
part of the tree was lush green.
The dieback has been most pro-
nounced on trees growing on poor
sites or where root systems are
over ledges. The roots in these To-
cations were cooked" by heat and
drought more severely than on
trees growing in loamy sites.
The twig and limb dieback is the
natural reaction of tree, cutting
down its crown to balance the loss
of it's roots.
Weakened in this way, dogwoods
become easy prey to borers. Own
ers of dogwoods in trouble should
take prompt action. PRIME out all
dead wood. Then feed the trees
literally to restore lost vigor. If
dry period should occur during
the coming weeks, water the trees
we'll
Dogwoods are often improved by
judicious pruning. The loss of a
few branches will not destroy the
beauty of the tree.

Questions and Answers

Q-My daughter is eligible fol
schooling under the War Orph,
ans Education program. Shed
like to start school at the be.
ginning of the fall term, bui
can't possibly get her final ap.
proval from VA on time. What
should she do?
A-She should file her application
as soon as possible. She may
enroll after she gets VAS PRO
visional approval" indicating
that she meets basic eligibili-
Z ty requirements. She should
enroll in a course that has
been approved for veterans un-
der the Korean CT Bill, since
such courses also will be ap-
proved for students under the
, War Orphans program. Her
VA regional office can tell her
/ whether the course she wants
is GI-approved.
OIL heard that all World War III
and Korea Veterans whose CT
insurance expired now get a
chance to get ii back, under a
new law. Is that correct?
A No. The only World War III and
Korea veterans now permitted
by law to reinstate expired CT
term insurance policies are
those who lost their insurance
since July 23, 1853, because
they failed to pay either or
both of the last two monthly
premiums. VA is going through
its records to notify veterans
who are eligible to reinstate
under the new law.
Q-Under the new CT loan dead
line for World War ii veter-
ans, must the loan be closed
and completed by July 25,
1868?
A-Not necessarily. The veteran
must apply for the CT loan be-
fore the new deadline OF July
25, 1858. But ii may be guaran-
teed or insured by VA if the
loan is closed by July 25 1858,
OIL am applying for schooling
under the Korean CT Bill.
Could / speed up things if /
sent my application to VA
headquarters in Washington,
ID. c.?
A-No. You would only delay mat
ters. Your application should
be sent to your nearest VA re-
gional office, for that is the
office that will handle your
case. If you sent your applica-
ton to Washington, ID. c., it,
would merely have to be sent
on to your regional office.

By Senator Earle Ottley
Cat Chamber of Commercel
(concluded)

/ have said on many occasions
that If the Governor has the au-
thority under the Organic Act to
take an appropriation act, three
pages long, containing scores of
items, and specifically authorize
ing fixed expenditures for careful
II defined projects and activities,
and delete everything from the
bill; but The long columns Of fl
cures, which he then proceeds to
add up and to spend as he sees
fit, it is time for the Legislature
to stop wasting time saying it is
appropriating money. It would
be my Recommendation that we
>pass a simple ordinance authoriz-
ing the Governor to withdraw
from the treasury as much
money as he thinks he needs,
whenever he needs it, and for
what purposes he desires.
For the manner in which both.
Governor Alexander and Cover
nor Gordon have acted on appro-
priation bills has made the appro-
priating power Of the Legislature
a huge Joke. / hope that soon, at
least not later than the next re-
gular session in April, the court
will rule on this question.
There IS one provision in the
Organic Act about which there is
no disagreement, namely, confir-
nation Of the heads Of depart
ment BY the Legislature. But here
again, there has been q wiltul and
calculated abuse Of power ~ the
Executive. Every time the Legis-
lature rejects q nominee the Gov
ernor ignores the Legislature's
action and installs the rejected
nominee in the job just the same.
But do we hear any criticism or
protest from groups which are
quick to assail the Legislature for
alleged errors?

ity,"

do not have the time to cover 9TH
er important subjects that come
to mind. / am sorry too If ! have
given the impression that the po-
litical situation in these islands
is hopeless, / am sure that not one
member Of the Legislature rules
out cooperation with the Cover
nor. In fact, ! am sure that all Of
ii, welcome such cooperation. To
be sure, there are differences be-
tween us, many Of them impor-
tant and far-reaching. But the
machinery Of government must
go on just the same. / am sure
there are ways Of settling differ
ences short Of choking each other
to death,
The Legislature. as the only
elected and responsible represen-
tatives Of the people, must be
ever vigilant. When we fight for
this or that, 1t Is not q personal
fight. We do not have a lease on
City Hall. Next November, every
last one Of us may be thrown out
Of office, but as long as we stay
in office we have an obligation
to carry out with all the .vigor we
possess in the interest Of the peo-
pie who elected us to office.
That we have tried to do, to the
best Of our abilities. The people
as yet have no way Of passing
judgment on the Governors ac-
ton, but the people can and will
on November 9th render their
verdict on each and everyone Of
US In the Legislature.
We do not take our responsible
lily or our obligations lightly. We
know there is a huge job ahead
Of us, and we hope that in the
months ahead all Of us will agree
to work together to achieve the
social, economic and political
gains which are within our reach.

tax exemption laws accelerated
tourism here. These programs
were originally passed and on
several occasions extended with
out a dissenting vote. Substantial
sums Of money were voted for
roads, sewers, potable water and
other facilities which made it pos

LOS ANGELES, May 10 (P.-
A Santa Barbara physician says
eases of serious illness and even
death resulting from the con-
sumption of water fluoridated at
the recommended concentration
are now being reported"
"Allergic individuals. as might
be expected. seem particularly
susceptible" DR.. Granville F.
Knight added in a statement
read yesterday before the goth
annual convention of the Amer
lean Academy of Nutrition.
Certain interests are strongly
advocating the addition of sodi-
UNI f1uoride, in a dilution of
one part per million, to domestic
water supplies" he said. This
campaign is based on the ques-
tionable premise that the re-
suit will be less tooth decay in
children without harm to con-
SumerS.
In my opinion such fluori-
dation is not only illogical but
is an invasion of personal rights
and is fraught with grave danger
to the health of the whole popu-
lation. Let me enumerate some
objections:
1T is mass medication without
precedent.

mites which are trying to plan
services for delinquent children
more effectively.
"Our .conSultants are working
with these people both in pre-
|vention and treatment pro-
grams" she said.
Hopefully, as we move ahead
in the next several years, the
JOINT efforts of local. State and
Federal groups can pull the de-
linquency rate down."
DR.. Eliot made no reference
to recent action of the House in
refusing requested funds to ex-
pand the juvenile delinquency
service division.
Numerous witnesses have
urged the Senate Appropriations
Committee to restore the $780,
600 proposed in the budget for
the year starting July l for ad-
dltional bureau employees, pri-
marily in the juvenile delin-
quency division.
