Another Bypass
Project On Rt. 25
To Start in Spring

Another link in the superhighway
chain between Dayton and Toledo
will be started early next spring. v.
N. Holderman and Sons, Inc, of Col
umbus, was recently awarded a
81, ,464 $50 contract to construct an
IL mile bypass of Wapakoneta.
The Holderman firm, which holds
the contracts for the Route Is by
passes of Lima and Findlay, which
are now under construction, also a
granted an additional s682,613 con-
tract on its present Lima job. This
money will be used to make the en-
tire 10 mile bypass a four-lane high
way.
Original plans for the Lima job
fhowed four lanes of pavement from
the northern edge of Lima to the 4th
st. crossing on the southeastern edge
of town with only two lanes of con-
crete from there to the end of the
project near Cridersville.
Both jobs are far ahead of sched-
ule with bridges and intersections the
only major work remaining on the
Findlay project. One mile of major
earthwork remains on the Lima job
but this cannot be tackled until
spring due to the fact that work must
wait while an underpass of the Erie
Railroad is finished and put into use
The Wapakoneta project viii be q
four-lane divided highway with linn
tied access similar to the Holdermar
projects at Lima and Findlay and

Proper Tree Cuttings
Help Forests Grow

Cutting an evergreen for a Christ
mas tree is not harmful practice,
SO don't feel guilty about it. Even
the trees that are sold in market
places were harvested" as crop
to give living room to regular
paintings.
Christmas trees are grown on
poorer forest soils and wet bog
areas where evergreens grow far
too slowly to produce a lumber or
pulpwood crop - thus Christmas
trees are the only profitable har-
vest that can come off that land.
Some trees do come from top
lumber areas, but these are thin
nings" In growing trees as a crop
it is often necessary to thin out the
smaller trees so others win have
room to live and grow.
Thus 1t is that the trimmings"
serve a number of uses: they
bring Christmas joy into the home;
provide income for the forester;
and serve as life insurance" for
upcoming timber crops. 4
