ing it slowly mulch helps to
control stream flow and the wat
ertable in the ground. There are
numerous recreational uses OF
the forest. The forests are he
natural habitats of many of the
American game animals, includ-
ing the largest mammals, as
bears, elk, and even buffalo.
AS our civilization advances,
the demands on the forests in
crease. AS our population in
creases the demand for wildlife
increase. -
Wildlife's Contribution
Since white man landed on
the shores of America, game an
imals have fallen at the crack
of the rifle. Before that the wild
life had been the staple diet OF
the natives, but pressure was
Stabilized. The pressure on all
forms has been kept up at a
higher level by the white man.
The two major roles of Wild
life for the white man has been
to supply food for his table and
furs for his clothing. Other pro-
ducts have been supplied, also.
Since most of the population OF
our country lives in areas once
occupied. by forests, people have
hunted the wildlife that inhab-
its forests, consequently, the
form of wildlife that has suffer
ed most is from the forests.
The buffalo, or American BIZ
son. which numbered 100000
head east Of the Mississippi
River and extended as far east
as Washington, D. c., supplied
both food and hides for the early
! inhabitants, has been externinat-
ed in this area. Likewise, bear
deer, wild turkey and other game
animals have ceased to live IN
much of the area. Animals once
common are now rare, highly
localized, or absent.
The, desire to hunt is still
strong among the people OF this

Forestry and Wildlife Research
There is great need for more
basic research in forestry and
wildlife interrelations than has
been done or is being done. Re-
search is the means by which we
discover the laws and principles
that control nature in her many
and subtitle activities. II we
have sufficient information we
can, in measure, control nature
in the direction that will be most
advantageous to us.
It is not beyond the ability OF
many researchers, if they are in
terested in the problems, to FIND
the essential facts. Much Of the
information yet needed is not OBJ
vious. We will, therefore, have
to resort to the scientists method
of applying common sense to the
problems to be solved.
Perhaps Shakespeare under
stood the necessity for our seek
ing out the knowledge desired
from nature when he had one OF
his characters reply to the ques-
ton, rs it you, sire, that knows
things?" he said, "In natures in
finite book of secrecy, a little
can read" So, we learn to read
natures secrets by research. We
uncover the basic truths we need
to know.
Forests Contributions :
The forests make major con-
tribution to the comfort, we'll
being, and happiness Of the
American people. The broader
aspects of this service includes
all of our demands for wood and
wood products, including food
shelter, medicines, and other
daily necessities. Through the
roots of living trees and the
mulch of fallen leaves the soil is
kept in place. The prevention OF
soil erosion is governed by the
quality of forest management
and the extent of the forests. By
the holding of water and releas-

country. Since the number of
hunters has greatly increased,
this puts more pressure on the
remaining game animals and
hunting areas. This necessitates
more stringent laws and more
careful management.
It is in the. realm OF Manage
ment that we need the research
at this time.
Research
One of the urgent problems is
for the acquisition and develop
ment of many areas throughout
the United States of habitats OF
sufficient size, and with signifl-
cant characteristics, to determine
the best conditions for the de-
velopment of game. These areas
should be owned by the federal
government, the state govern
ments, or private, non-profit or
CARNATIONS. Certain tracts should
be kept inviolate for 500 to 1000
years, no hunting, no logging, no
other taking of anything IN these
areas.
The only instruments that
should be permitted should be
for gathering data on the plant
and animal life and the factors
of the habitat, as pencils, note
books, cameras, books, and SCI
entific instruments. Even the
number of human beings per-
mitted should be limited since
their presence is disturbing
factor to many animals.
With such areas, researchers
could compare the controlled
areas as the National Forests,
game refugees, and private land
with the Natural areas to be
developed. This would give US 9
better idea of the original ma
ture of our land and the kind OF
! life it can supports alone. we
+, could, by comparison, determine
the extent of response to the
cutting of forests. We could de.
termine the effect of controlled
burning, and limited grazing oy
domesticated animals.
We could determine better
whether or not pure stands OF
one species of tree is better fol
timber and wildlife than mixec
stands. These things cannot pe

Expert Urges
Expansion OF
Pasture Land

''We have the land to put into
pastures and the livestock to use
on them,' declared w. r. Thomp-
son, Extension pasture specialist.
You can put in, grow and man
age more pasture acreage than
any other crop on the farm, ex-
cept forests.
Now is the time to plan to
grow and sell grass for money
and that is what farmers are IN
business for. Four requirements
for successful pasture program
include:
Cd Lime the land if needed,
If your land needs lime it will
not pay off in high production
unless lined.
ca Fertilize with the right
kinds and amounts of plant food
80 Control weeds. Farmers
who do not want to clip pastures
can use chemical weed control
and chemicals are available tc
control most pasture weeds.
I'd Management. If a farmer
does not manage his pastures, he
will not get what the pastures
are capable of giving.

Schools Looking
At Today's World

The world around us - and that beyond us =
will be inspected more closely in the future by
elementary school students in Montgomery
County.
The school board recently heard reports by
two leaders of teachers workshop stress the
Importance of teaching grade schoolers more
science and current events.
They were Mrs Ruth Cue and Miss Etheleen
Daniel, elementary school supervisors for the
county They head committees of Summer work
shop attended by As teachers from all grades and
principals.
Miss Daniel said the workshop hopes to
hammer out plans for new subjects and
methods of teaching by the time school begins in
September.
children now have tremendous interest in
outer space travel and heavenly bodies beyond our
earth Miss Daniel told the board eve are going
to have to give this great deal of attention"
she said.
Mrs. Cue agreed with board member Wylie
Barrow that many children today lack knowledge
of the everyday world. you're right we haven't
done enough to keep abreast Of world affairs. We
need to do more current events" she said
Barrow fortified his approval of Mrs Cues
statement with the observation that he has had
three children go through the Montgomery Coun.
ty elementary school system, and, he said, "Im
still more informed than any of them about things
like geography
I'VE lack facts of geography in our elemen-
tary schools. The facts have gotten enmeshed
with the more generalized studies of English and
history. What we need are more facts: they ought
to memorize names of rivers tributaries prin-
clpal cities and the like" Barrow asserted
Mrs Cue said her workshop hoped to formu
late generalized study of geography which could
be more specifically related to the city county,
state nation etc. as the child passes through the
elementary grades.
Miss Daniels outlined similar graduated
science subjects for grade school children Her
workshop committee would gradually include
scientific subjects from the weatherng of rocks
and the erosion of soil = things that the children
could see in their own back yards - up to animal
life and its struggle for existence.
Another OF the big interests among young
sters today is the Arctic and Antarctic regions"

Shielding Public

THE County Council recently authorized
the Maryland National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to hire consultant to
prepare much-needed set of performance
standards that would regulate construction
and operation of industry in Montgomery
County.
With an apparent trend toward light in
dustry under way in the county, performance
standards to regulate its growth are neces-
sity to avoid uncontrolled expansion. The
council is to be commended for its far-sight-
edness in carrying this matter through.
But as it champions progress on one
hand it still keeps Che curtain half drawn on
that progress with the other. The Council
Tuesday passed resolution that forbids dis
semination of the performance standards to
any one other than itself or the Montgomery
County Planning Board for nearly two
months after they are completed and SUBJ
mitted.
The Planning Commission told the Ceun-
Gil several weeks ago that Richard May, Jr.,
New York planner who will create the per-
Torrance standards, can have the job done
August Is.
But the Council Tuesday vetoed any re-
lease of the May report until the Council con-
NuCtS oil lIluuSlTldl Conference OCLODer Il.
Their thinking seemed to be that May
might try to "selp' his project to the public
before the Council had chance to make up
its mind over it,
While the Council is more or less ex-
pert group of individuals, we can see no
reason for those individuals to censor what
certainly is matter demanding a great deal
of public study.
If it was the intent of the Council to keep
the performance standards under wraps in
order to take full advantage of them as new,
unique tool at the Industrial Conference we
think any dramatic impact obtained will be
at the expense of public information
Councilman j. Grahame Walker pretty
well summed it up when he told the Council,
as he dissented from the affirmative vote,
THE more public discussion of these pro-
posalS, the better. I can't see any reason to
hide them under barrel or wrap them in
blankets
BY inference, some councilmen seemed
to say they thought the report should not be
released until they - the Council - inspect
ed it to make sure it was fit for public con-
sumption.
There is a tenet worn thin but still as
strong as when it was first voiced. That is,
the public should not be shielded" for its
own good. Mature residents of Montgomery
County we believe can make up their own
minds about events that affect them.

Peoples TB Lot
Worse Than Cows

Remember the old verse about the purple
COW? 1t ended I'D rather see than be one."
But now veternirian comes up with a diff
ferent point of view AS far as tuberculosis is
concerned, he says, it's much safer to be born
calf than baby in America today" This is the
way DR.. Paul S. Dodd sums up the comparative
progress in eliminating bovine and human tuber-
culoss, the Maryland TB Association pointed out
this week.
Years ago TB was the most serious animal
disease the American farmer had to deal with
In 1918 cooperative campaign for the eradication
OF bovine TB was begun. The plan was to give
all cattle the tuberculin test the skin test that
shows tuberculosis infection even though active
disease may not be present All cattle found to
have positive reactions were to be slaughtered
You may never have been a farmer but you can
imagine how difficult it must have been to face
the destruction of valuable animals for the gen.
eral good.
BY 1886 more than 176000000 cattle had been
tested and more than 100000 had been slaugh.
tered. BY 1856 only one and a half percent or
1900 of the cattle tested had positive reactions
to the test
But in the same year $4,000 human beings
died of tuberculosis and there were about 100000
active and inactive cases of the disease
The tuberculin test is just as easily available
to people as to cattle. With the evidence of a
positive reaction, it's often possible for health
workers to find the source of the infection-the
active case of TB that is spreading germs And.
of course, extra care can be taken to protect the
health of the reactor to prevent the development
of active disease
Perhaps we could do as much for our own
safety as for our animals.

Don't Change Viers

While you all are worrying
about the VierS-Veirs spelling,
why not return Cabin John
Branch back to Capt. Johns Run,
Autre to Oatry, Clewerwall to
Clovervale and Potomac to Pc
towmack? A celebrated English
man who could write spelled his
name ShakSper and at least two
other ways. Until we'll into the
18th century less than half of our
people could write and they that
did would not spell consistently.
In spelling most proper names,
lie is usually given the sound of
e and eli the sound of i. Since
most names before this century
were handwritten according to
sound, and often misread by
copyists, variations became
common and crystalized by use.
Hundreds of signs, thousands of
maps, plats, official records and
legal documents say VIERS, and
so should remain undiSturbed by
further change.

Letters
Wise Action'

Your editorial in the July End
Sentinel, regarding the City
Councils decision not to hire a
Purchasing Agent for the City
of Rockville was of great inter-
est. l would like to list a few
comments which l feel are we'll
founded.
l. The proposed salary was in
adequate.
2. The proposed position in the
table of organization was not
placed sufficiently high for its
importance and to insure a we'll
run purchasing department.
3. The planning in these re-
spects, consequently, was not
good.
A competent, experienced pur-
chasing agent could not be OBJ
tanned by the city for less than
approximately $4,000 per annum.
The national average is $500 per
annum. Also, a self-respecting
purchasing agent would never &C.
cept the position as it is indi-
Gated in the 1858 Rockville Table
of Organization = which was on
the equality in importance with
the clerks. Like many people, the
members of the City Council must
feel that purchasing people are
merely order-placing clerks. This
is far from the fact. In business,
they are executives of import
ance.
Today, business and industry,
including many cities and other
governmental bodies, have discov-
cred that purchasing executives
save many times their salary in
wise and decisive purchasing. Yet
the city fathers feel that other
departments should have person
mel heads at $7-8 or $4,000 per
year = good purchasing ex-
ecutive at that salary could save
the city 500 to $4,000 per year,
enough for the city to pay for
the salaries of the city and/or
assistant city managers.
To summarize, l feel that the
action of the City Council in re-
jecting the proposed hiring of
a purchasing agent at this time
was wise under the circumstances
of the inadequacy of the suggest
ed salary and the obscurity of
the proposed position of the pur-
chasing agent indicated in the
table of organization. On the 9TH
er hand, it would have been far
better had the city fathers de-
cided to hire a purchasing agent
at higher salary and with more
prominence in the proposed table
of organization commensurate
with the position-one who could
save for the city much more than
the salary which would be paid
him.

Aid-tO-IdLe
Funds OK
Is Won

The County Council Tues
day decided to give $625 to
the County Welfare Board for
assistance to able bodied
workers who are out of work.
That amount will be matched
by the State.
Unemployed employables" are
county residents with dependents
who cannot find work. They must
have lived in the county for one
year and be able to work.
Councilmen Grover K. Walker.
Charles II. Jamison and Robert
Snure voted against the resolu-
ton.
Approval of the S625 was based
on an estimate by Welfare Direc-
tor William Roger that total of
$3.50 would be needed for the
program during the coming year.
He reported to the County
Council recently that since the
program was launched in March
a total of S26S.73 had been spent
on six cases. Altogether, he said,
his office had received 30 re.
quests for such aid and of these.
II had actually applied. Eleven
of these were turned down, he
said and six cases approved.
Heaviest" months, the official
said, are December. January and
February when it is difficult -
II not impossible - for construc-
lion workers to find employment.

An Outrage?

NISCOVERY by election officials that
- candidates for the county school board
should pay from $55 to $40 extra to finance
the cost of advertising their nominating petit
lions seems to have upset everybody = the
candidates themselves the civic leaders who
are trying to encourage good candidates, and
the legislative leaders who have feeling of
responsibility for the laws that apply to the
county,
At first blush, it would appear the re-
quirement is not a sound one. Since the dis
covery, various and sundry connected direct
ly or indirectly with the filing procedure
have been trying to figure out what the Gen.
eral Assembly had in mind when it enacted
the law. But no one has yet come up with
a satisfactory answer. 1t would appear that
little is accomplished by publicly advertising
the signatures on the petitions and, at the
moment, we are inclined to agree with Dele
gate Blair Lee that corrective legislation
should be introduced at the next session of
the legislature.
The question is very much under study,
however, and it would seem that to form a
conclusion at this time would be premature.
We would urge those who think the provision
is IAN outrage" to be a little more reserved
until the responsible persons who are earnest
ly studying the question have had time to
come up with their conclusions.
