A Washingtonian who lives in Chevy

Holland was solely an illustrator of
children's books till about five years

Washington book" Entitled, They
Built a City: The Story of Washington,

Miss Holland, who did enough re-
search on it for scholarly dissertation,
was gratified to receive letter from
a Columbia Historical Society stalwart,
Lawrence F. Schmeckebier, asserting
that adults as well as children might
read her book with profit
She followed this with a similar
book about Charleston (she is the
granddaughter of a South Carolina

Colonial America and another piece
of fiction, the medieval Italian item,
are in the works. OF her present
projects, only the book based on In
dian legend was written by someone
else. Miss Holland Is fascinated by
anything having to do with India,
and couldn't resist when the manu-
script was offered.
This policy of writing her own texts
stems from two practical considera-
tions: One is financial. Children's

Weather Causes Pines To Brown
Shed SO Many Twigs And Leaves

Weather Causes Pines To Brown
Shed SO Many TWigs And Leaves
Tips of needles of many conifers,
especially pines, have turned brown
this spring. There also has been
noticeable drying out and dropping
of needles from these evergreen
trees. Don Cantwell. District Mana
ger Of the Bartlett Tree Expert Co,
attributes this condition to injury
by extreme cold last winter. Over a
considerable part of northeastern
u. S. there was little snow on the
ground during the sub-zero freeze
and moisture needed for needles
was frOst-locked in the soil
Chances are that despite new grow
tn this spring, many pines will look
even thinner when hot, dry sum-
mer days arrive. Two-year pine
needles may be shed in greater
than-usual numbers because both
of dry weather and the after-effects
of winter injury. Hot, dry spells
in recent years have caused pines
to be abnormally thin. Some years
ago vigorous pines sometimes car
ried five-year old needles. Each
succeeding year they would shed
oldest needles. But today most
pines carry no more than two and
at the most three-year old needles.
Last year there was considerable
needle drop in September, preceded
by one in late July and August
The more needles on a pine the
more vigorous is it's growth and
the more enhanced is it's beauty
Pines with brown-tipped needles,
those that shed excessive twigs and
lose too many. needles should be
invigorated by feeding and mulch
ing. The best mulching is to allow
needles to remain where they fall
Why Naples Are Loaded With
Seeds This Year
Maple trees are loaded with seeds
this year, The drop of seed keys
from silver naples, for example,
has been the most abundant in
years. Seeds on Norway and sugar
naples must still ripen and will
drop in the fall. This heavy set of
seed was due to hot sunny days at
the end of April and early May,
which permitted good poilinatiOn,
according to Don Cantwell, District
Manager of the Bartlett Tree Ex-
pert Co. 1t also accounted for an
equally heavy set of fruit on fruit
trees. Trees heavy laden with seed
require enormous energy to bring
this fruit to maturity. This can
have a weakening effect and bring
decline that invites serious trouble
Keep such trees vigorous by prun-
ing, feeding, spraying to control
insect pests and watering during
dry months ahead.

Sen. Frear Makes Report

WASHINGTON, ID. c. - United
that the broad implications in
volved in the proposed Information
al Atomic Energy Agreement now
before the SENATE for ratification
should be of interest and concern
to every American
In his weekly statement. Mr..
Frear pointed out that under the
terms of the agreements, the Uni
ted States and a number Of other
countries would pool atomic ener-
gy information and materials for
the peaceful development Of nu-
clear energy. The Senator empha
sized that because progress is es-
sential to our way of life, we desire
TO encourage expanded use of
atomic energy outside of the wea-
pons field"
The Delaware lawmaker noted
that other nations besides the Uni
ted States are moving forward in
atomic research. The Senator re-
called his recent visit to Russia
during which he inspected an cleo
trio generating plant powered by
atomic energy.
With respect to the participation
of this country in the International
Atomic Energy Agency, the Senator
said that there is an understand
able feeling of concern among
many persons over the implica-
tions of our participation in this
organization.
He added, AT the moment it
would be most difficult to predict
whether this new international
agency will successfully encour-
age widespread peaceful applica-
tion OF atomic energy. There is the
danger, l suppose, that atomic ma
terials made available to various
countries through the Agency
could fall into the hands of per-
sons who could develop them for
military purposes"

not change any rights regarding

something heretofore enjoyed
insofar as jury trials were con
cerned.
On the contrary, it was the So

which proposed a change in the
jury-trial system as English
speaking peoples have known it
for hundreds of years, and as our
own Republic has known it since
our beginnings as a Nation.
The jury-t amendment
seeks to do this by providing a
trial by jury in certain cases of
persons charged with being in
contempt of court, a right which
has not heretofore existed in
such cases.
Under our American system
of jurisprudence, as we have
known 1t since the Constitution
was adopted, no jury trials have
been accorded generally to those
who come before a court on
charges of contempt. The courts

rover to punish in such cases

Gov. Anderson Tells Omaha
Rotary Club Need Of
Additional Gas Tax


The Importance of the addi,
tional one cent gasoline tax to
Nebraska's highway program was
ST essed on Wednesday, August
7 by Governor Victor e. Ander-
son in an address to members
Of the Omaha Rotary Club.
Speaking on important pro
grams and projects of the state,
Governor Anderson devoted much
Of his discussion TO the highway
program.
"The Interstate Highway pro-
gram will be as important to
the development Of our state as
the coming Of the railroad a
century ago." he said.
The extra cent Of gasoline
tax will be a vital factor in the
early construction OF the Inter
state, and places its cost almost
entirely on the users" the gov
ernor said, "Those who use the
highways should pay the major
share Of their cost. They should
not become an additional bur
den on property owners"
Calling attention to the fact
that a substantial portion OF
gasoline tax revenue goes TO
the counties and cities. the Gov
ernor cited the benefits that will
flow to every area of Nebraska
from this source.
"All cities of Nebraska will
receive direct benefits from the
improved highway pattern" he
said, ~not only those located on
the Interstate"
Thousands of miles Of state
highway in Nebraska are still
gravel roads, the, governor said.
The people Of our state are en-
titled to more paved highways,
and the reduced cost Of main
tenance viii help pay for them.
The additional one cent Of tax
viii cost the average motorist
less than Sc per year, he con-
cluded. "It doesn't make sense
TO pay for an expensive auto
mobile and fail TO provide the
highways for their operation"
