THE size OF the shrine
has been reduced from the
original announcement. Wit

that all efforts are being
made for further reduction.
A comparison Of the sizes Of
other memorials in the area
found the Freedom Shrine
lower than most and lower
than the trees presently on
the proposed site.

So we need not worry about
wolves. in the suburbs. even
in snowy times.
What may impress a sub
urbanite is a cat pawprint.
Then it is easy to see how
many toes q cat has, four.
and one sort Of tiny thumb"
behind.
To catch these prints at
their best. one must be an
early riser.
Nor is it necessary to wait
for daylight. either. Turning
on the porch light often re-
veals a neat set Of prints.
especially if the householder
has been in the habit of put
ting out something to eat for
the wanderers.
This is largess. in a wild,
wild world. one never knows
which hungry animals will
come along.
There are on the market,
now. various brands Of baked
dog foods. called kibbles.
These. moistened with water
or preferably milk. make good
food to put out for wild
wayfarers. Even II they won't
eat 1t. they know that some
body Is looking out for them.
Surely this must please them.
Let US continue to believe
that somehow they know.

have with us always.
Snow Is q sort Of munici-
pal misery. II brings with It
much expense. work. and
trouble. sometimes including
broken bones.
In recent years. the neces-
sity for cleaning OF sidewalks
has caused many cases Of
heart disease among older
residents.
Persons past so years Of
age should think twice be-
fore using a snow shovel.
But they can always look
for animal footprints. and
enjoy their symmetry. beauty

'Pesticide Hozords'

Your editorial on "Pesticide
Hazards" Of January 10
raised several questions
which a number Of people
are asking today. The use
Of pesticides is Spreading to
new fields. The reason is
that they are effective against
many destructive pests which
man wants to control.
When a person sees spray
ing OF trees in the street. or
observes mass spraying OF
forested areas to. control an
unwanted pest. naturally he
wants to know why the
spraying. what good does it
do, what are the hazards,
II any.
From two to five years OF
research. and sometimes as
many as seven years. are
spent on testing a chemical
in the laboratory. and in the
field under all climatic con-
ditionS. We must know what
pests a chemical will control.
the doSages to use. what
happens If the chemical
touches the skin. II We in
hale It, or II we consume
minute residues Of 1t.
Before the chemical can be
sold it must pass the in
spection Of Government
scientists and be registered
with the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. II
1t is to be used on food crops.
il must pass the rigid in
spection Of the Federal Food
and Drug Administration.
All this is required by Fed
cral laws. In addition. the
United States Public Health
Service conducts exhaustive
research on peSticides and
studies reports OF any in
juries repeatedly caused by
them.
The Public Health Services
confidence in pesticides is
reflected in a statement by
DR.. David E. Price. assist
ant surgeon general. United
States Public Health Service.
January. 1856 - eSticides
are a great boon to mankind.
You yourself can use
pesticideS with complete
safety If you follow the direc-
tons that come with them.
:. My statement is based on
extensive research by the
Public Health Service"
While we already know
much more about these
chemicals than most, people
realize. research is being
continued by manufacturers.
the United States Department
Of Agriculture, the United
States Fish and Wildlife
Service. the United States
Public Health Service and
independent organizations.
The objective Of all is to
find ways to use chemicals

Men and women are the
only animals that smoke
cigarettes.
This may be one Of the
dividing lines between hui
mans and other mammal
species, but it's an unfortu-
nate fact for the research
teams now working all over
the country to determine
with some precision the
physiological facts about Gig
arctic smoking.
Even human-like chin.
panzees can't be made to ac-
quire the habit. Some have
been taught to take a few
puffs TO entertain audiences
but obviously they don't ike
1t. This seems to deprive the
scientists Of the invaluable
tool OF animal experimental
ton.
This is stressed by DR..
Clarence Cook Little. chair
man Of the scientific advisory
board set up by the tobacco
industry-partly in response
TO recent charges that Gig
arettes as responsible for lung
cancer and heart failure
which sponsors and finances
research projects all over the
country, in his first annual
report. Almost all other con-
ditions which may be re-
sponsible for human maladies
can be duplicated in animals.
DR.. Little points out. Here

strictly draw the line. They

DO anything about it-but

Smoking Machines Used
Thus. DR.. Little points out,
they can't be used to study
the role cigarettes NAV play
in the allegedly increasing
lung cancer.
For. says DR.. Little. "since
animals used in tests of
biological activity do not
smoke 1t is necessary to pro-
duce smoke by mechanical
devices. Many smoking ma
chimes are quite ingenious
and permit a high degree Of
control over the conditions
under which smoke Is pro-
duced. Others are very crude.
Because many investi-
gators undertaking tests Of
tobacco smoke are biologists
rather than chemists. in
adequate attention often. has
been paid to production Of
smoke. Some have even pro-
duced 'tars' by methods ut

Whatever the disadvan-
tages Of snow. in city and
suburb. it must be admitted
that a good snow makes the
finest medium for animal
footprints.
In recent years several
good books upon these prints
have been published.
The newcomer to the mod
ern suburban world might do
well to study them. but the
best way to learn about an
imal footprints is to inter-
view some country dweller, a
farmer, in other words.
Farm boys are brought up
to be interested in nature.
They bring themselves UP.
The finding OF neat animal
tracks in mud and snow is
one way to do this. and most
boys take to it. simply be-
cause 1t is interesting.
Those of us who left the
small towns and farms at an
early age will have to ind
other methods.
We can do this merely by
looking. in most cases.
Suppose We do not recog-
nize the neat prints
The fact that our atten-
ton has been attracted to
them may be enough.
1t is fundamental. in mans
mental life. to want to iden-
tify something.
Progress goes along that
line.
Life need not always be

The Baltimore monkey that

The wandering rabbit in
the snow is another.

Der Of tracking animals"
will be comparatively small.
We will not have TO worry
much about the footprints
of bears. for instance.
Nor wolves.
How about those wolves.
