Weekly Tree Talk
Long Range Shade Tree Program
Suggesfe0 for Booming America

Long Range Shade Tree Program
Suggested for Booming America
A loSg range shade tree goal
to keep green the changing face of
America and purify exhaust fume
laden airs being proposed by
forward looking Don Cantwell,
District Manager of the Bartlett
Tree Expert Company.
Just as President Eisenhower
called for fixing stirring moral in
tellectual and economic goals for
the nations exploding population
5-10 years hence, so Mr. CantweIl
suggests planning for more and
better trees to live with tomorrow.
This is what's happening now:
Population flows like lava from
cities into suburbs. Old suburbs
change character: new ones are
created. Out growth takes place
and pushes into the countryside
with shopping centers, new homes,
new roads, factories and business
es.
Shade tree after shade tree comes
down under the bulldozer. Often
lwarf-growfng ones are planted as
requirements. Older trees struggle
against mounting odds to live.
What" Mr.. Cantweli asks,
will be the character of tse sub
urbs by 1870, 1882"
Where will be the original lures
of summer shade and provided
winter shields? Will all trees be
thin things with no character of
taliness, of venerable beauty, of
matured age?"
What will the air be like? What
of the bird population, end the
whole plant environment that de-
pends on relationship with trees ?"
Concerned, Mr. CantwelI offers
this approach for communities
and home owners.
1. Preserve the existing valued
specimen trees in new and old de-
velopments.
2. Recognize that there must be
a certain amount of tree mortality
as suburbs multiply. But educate
America to the need for planting
proper replacements.
g.. Plant two trees for every one
that dies.
4. Plant native trees, mixing tall
trees with trees of lesser stature
to break the monotOny of the land
scape. Don't plant trees all of one
species on home grounds or in a
community.
5. Give all trees the best of care.
Neglect can blight streetful of
trees as surely as it can deteri0-
rate community of homes.

School Program

Prompt adoption of the Per-

gram has been urged by the
Arlington County Council Of
Parent Teachers Associations in
letters to members of the Vir-
ginia General Assembly.
THE recommendations of
the Perrow Commission" the
letter stated. " appear to offer
the greatest assurance at this
time that the educational
needs Of Arlington and the
State as a whole can be met
on a realistic and prudent
basis"
Although strongly supporting
the program, the letter listed
apprehensionS about aspects
which concern public scholar
ships for private purposes, less
carefully regulated establish
ment of private schools, and
a reduction in minimum
standards for public educa-
ton"
The letter said, Despite some
apprehension as to the precise
effect and the ultimate con-
sequences which would result
from adoption of certain of the
recommendations, we recog-
nize that they are an integral
part of the entire proposal and
are generally consistent with
the freedom Of action which is
needed now. They can be tenn
pered in application"

LITTLE WORLD OF LAOS
by Oden Meeker (Charles
Scribner's Sons: $4.50). The
author. who is happily a
gifted writer. spent a year in
that never-never land to
which he went as the first
representative Of CARE. His
observations are not only
vivid, they are unusually in
telligent and reveal q sensi-
tive understanding of the
Asians and their aspirations
that is counter to the pre-
vailing spirit of the Burdick-
Lederer critioue.
Mr.. Meeker, who is now the
CARE chief in India. does
praise all our efforts: Some
Of us were concerned over
what seemed to be the short
range philosophy Of Amer
lean aid. with its evangelistic
overtones. the heavy imbal-
ance of military over eco
nomic programs, its instinc-
tive alliance with economic
and political orthodoxy even
when this meant snoring up
corrupt, authoritarian local
leaders at the risk Of having
American aid tarred with the
same brush"
He offers q motive in addi-
ton to strengthening democ-
racy, especially for the pri-
vate organizations aid just
because aid Is needed"
