Record Number
of Candidates
File For Office

A last minute rush of candidates
just prior to the filing deadline
Monday at midnight brought forth
a record number of office seekers.
Applications were received from
seventy individuals, but it was man.
datory that few of the names be
Withdrawn, since in a few instances
one person had filed for more than
one position.
As the list stands at present
there are forty-nine Republican
candidates and twenty-one Demo-
cratic candidates.
Candidates have until Saturday,
March Is, to withdraw. Russell L.
Smith who filed for State Senate,
House of Delegates and County
Commissioner will be compelled to
withdraw from at least two.
Joseph Welch entered as a sur
prise candidate for treasurer to
succeed himself. This was not pos
Sible, according to law, until a new
law was passed and signed last
Saturday permitting a person to
succeed himself in that office. As a
result Mrs. Bernice Sanders is ex-
pected to withdraw as candidate
for that position.
II. D. SWartzentruber, who had
earlier filed for County Commits
sioner, withdrew his application
and near the deadhne filed for
State Senate on the Republican
ticket. There were assurances that
Ross Speicher would withdraw as
a candidate since there was some
question involving the eligibility of
a minister of the gospel to serve in
the State Legislature, even if he
were elected. The constitution Of
Maryland prohibits a minister of
the gospel from serving. There
were indications that at least one
or two others would withdraw prior
to the Saturday deadline. Dwight
Barrick has filed for two offices
and will be compelled to withdraw
from one

Traffic Report For
Sept. 1858 Is At Wide
Variance With 81

The traffic report for September,
prepared by the Planning Division
of the State Highway Department,
shows quite contrast in compari-
son with the traffic report for the
same month of last year.
OF the six permanent traffic
counting stations located along
highways throughout the State, two
recorded increases, three showed
decreases while another had no
comparison available because the
traffic counter was out of service
because of highway construction.
US Route 2O2, the Concord Pike.
at a point north of Talleyville, re-
corded a decrease of 6.29 percent,
with the daily average of vehicle
counted being 1928, decrease of
8S7 over September of last year.
The largest single day was Sat
urday, September 6, when 16.845
vehicles were counted.
There was no comparison avail
able for the Kirkwood Highway,
at point east of Newark, because
the counter was out of service last
year. During September, the daily
average of vehicles counted al
this point was 1923 and the lar
gest single day was Friday, Sept
ember 10, when 1880 vehicles were
counted.
An increase of 7.88 percent was
recorded along US Route 40, at
point west of Bear with the daily
oxrorooo 0f rohioIac oO,1nfod hoin0
24,206, an increase of 1,768 over
September of last year and the
largest single day was Monday,
September 1, when 34,347 vehicles
were counted.
A decline in traffic continued a.
long US Route 13, at a point north
of Smyrna, where the decrease
was 4S3 percent, with the daily
average of vehicles counted being
13, ,190, a decrease of $40 over Sept
ember of last year and the largest
single day was Monday, September
1, when 18,417 vehicles were count
ed.
A decrease of 1.48 percent was
recorded along US Route 113, at
point north of Milford where the
daily average of vehicles counted
was 6,9O2, a decrease of 104 over
September of last year, and the
largest single day was Monday,
September 1, when 1925 vehicles
were counted.
An increase of 3.O4 percent was
recorded along US Route 13, at a
point south of Greenwood, with the
daily average of vehicles counted
being 6,576, an increase of 1874 over
September of last year, and the
largest single day was Friday, Sep
tember 26, when 1861 vehicles were
counted.
State Highway Department Off
cials believe that the decrease a
long US Route 113 was caused by
construction work currently in pro-
gress along this route.

Weekly Tree Talk
Surgery of GirdIing Roots Prevents
Tree "Suicide"

Surgery of GirdIing Roots Prevents
Tree "SuIcide"
A girdling root can strangle g
tree. It's a slow but relentless
choking action. Movement of saI
nutrients in the lifelines of the
tree become restricted. A limb be-
gins to wither and die Then an
other, as tree health declines.
Now is a good time to check
shade trees for girdling roots and
eliminate them, says Don Cantwell
District Manager of the Bartlett
free Expert Co.
Root girdling is common of
street trees and trees growing in
restricted areas on lawns. Middle
aged and older naples, especially
Norway Naples, seem to have this
Suicidal" girdIing tendency to a
greater degree than other tree
species.
Lcck at the trunk soil line. A big
fat root may be seen curving
around the lower base, growing
into other roots or into the trunk
itself. Soil may be hiding the sird-
ling root, so dig away several inch
es of dirt. More than one root may
be involved.
Girdling is frequently caused by
improper planting. Roots twisted
when the tree is ytransplanted con-
tinue to grow in unnatural posi-
tions.
Faulty growing conditions may
also result in a girdling root. Nor
mally, roots push outward, seek
ing food and water. If one strikes
lardpan or an obstruction such as
a curb, sidewalk or drive, it may
be DETECTED. 1t then turns in an
other direction, twisting across and
imbedding in other roots or curv-
ing around the base of the tree.
Surgery is the immediate reme-
dy. Carefully cut away the Offend
ing root with mallet and chisel.
Then paint the scars with a wound
dressing, and feed the tree to re-
store vigor. Removal of the girdl-
ing root will restore proper circu-
lation to the normal roots and add
years to tree life.
Baby The Tree On Lawn"
New home owners often find
existing trees begin to die back a
year or so after they move in. The
reason: the trees have been in
jured by excessive fill, compactiOn
by bulldozers during construction
and other similar damage.
1t may be 4 or years before
it can be determined whether the
trees will pull through, says Don
Cantwell, District Manager of the
Bartlett Tree Expert Co. Baby
such trees along. Aerate the soil.
Feed the tree. Supply ample water.
Prune out dead and dying wood.
During the growing season keep
the leaves green by spraying.
