IS per cent are an incredible misuse of the invest
gative system.
A good example of the latter is the Juvenile
Delinquency Subcommittee. There's not person
in this country who isn't concerned about some OF
today's teen-agers. Actually, the Senate originally
set up the subcommittee in 1853 to study the
problem. At the time, it thought that the sub
committee would spend one year studying the prob
lem and then propose corrective legislation.
What is tragic is that even though soO2, 2,85982
has been appropriated to the subcommittee through
the years since 1853 and even though the members
of the subcommittee have travelled the length and
breadth of this land diligently seeking information.

TT lhe Senate Subcommittee to Investigate Juve-

of looking into the state of the nations teen-agers.
II charged that hundreds of thousands of youngsters
we're rapidly turning into hardened criminals.
In terms Of its content, the report made lively
reading But the report didn't create half as much
as the ensuing wrangle which broke out among
the Senators who sat on the committee. minority
report branded the majority report as inaccurate,
misleading and beyond the routine jurisdiction Of
the subcommittee.
The uproar over delinquency may have confused
the man in the street, as well in the Senate, but
it did serve one valuable purpose: it brought out
into the open what has formerly been taboo
subject-the value of Congressional Investigations.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

From time to time we COM
ment here on one of the more
remarkable developments in our
language, the creation of words
made up Of the initial letters
or sounds of a group of words
-"acronyms," as the word ex-
perts have dubbed them. My
own rather extensive researches
on the subject seem to indicate
that the earliest acronyms in
English are "Anzac" (Austra-
liam and New Zealand Army
Corps and "Awol" absent
Without Official Leave), both
dating back to the early days
Of World War I.
Now comes an astonishing
footnote from Stanley Metallic
of Kensington, Md, indicating
that the acronymic method is
not only not unique to the for
nation of English and Ameri-
can words but indeed was an
ticipated many hundreds OF
years earlier in Hebrew.

Proper Planting At
The Proper Time

Trees and shrubs cost money :
lots of money. If you buy trees OF
shrubs, safeguard your investment
by planting them properly and al
the right time of year.
PLANT trees after the leaves
have fallen in the fall or before
growth starts in the spring." Mr..
Robert F. Stevens, extension
horticulturist, University of Della
ware recommends.
Mr. Stevens points out that bare
rooted trees and shrubs are not
planted in quite the same way as
balled stock.
Rules for Planting Bare Rooted
Trees and Shrubs
l. Plant trees and shrubs as soon
as possible after receiving them.
If they must be held for a few
days, keep them away from drying
winds.
2. Dig a generous hole allowing
six to seven inches of space on all
sides:
5. MIX tnree parts or the SOIL re-
moved from the hole with one part
peat moss and sand. Shovel 3-6
inches of this mixture back into
the bottom of the hole, heaping it
into a mound in the center.
4. Prune off broken or damaged
roots.
5. Place the tree or shrub in the
hole at the same depth it had in
its former location. Spread the
roots out to what looks like their
original position.
6. Fill the hole with soil until it
is twolthirds full, packing it down
with your foot. Then pour in
water to fill the hole. AL
low it to seep in before filling the
hole up with soil.
z. Do not mound the remaining
soil around the stock. Instead
leave a saucer shaped basin around
the tree or shrub. This makes
watering easier.
s. Mulch the trees. or shrubs
with two TO three inches of peat

8. Prune the top of the trees to
thin out excessive thickness max
ing sure to maintain the natural
shape of the tree. Do not cut back
the leader.
10. Small, newly planted trees
need stalking to hold them straight
for the first year. Larger trees re-
quire guy wires for support En-
close the portion of the guy wire
that goes around the tree in an
old piece of hose or wrap it in a
piece of cloth. This prevents
trunk and limbs from. being cut
by the wire.
II. Wrap the trunks of deciduous
trees with Kraft tree tape or bur-
lap. This prevents sunscald.
IL. Do not fertilize trees or
shrubs during the first year and
only moderately during the second
year.
13. Water stock enough to keep
dirt moist. Do not over water them.
Rules for Planting Balled Trees
and Shrubs
Balled trees and shrubs are
planted the same way as barefoot
ed stock with the following ex-
ceptions
1. Handle all stock by the ball.
Avoid dropping or loosening the
earth around the roots.
2. After placing the tree in the
hole, shovel in enough soil to
hold the ball in place. Then loosen
the burlap at the top of the ball
and lay it down in the hole. Do not
try to lift the tree or shrub to re-
move it The roots will grow right
through this loosely woven fabric.
Also, the fabric will rot away in
time.
Rules for Planting Evergreen
Trees
Plant evergreens the same way
as deciduous trees and shrubs with
one exception The trunks of ever
green's need not be wrapped for
protection against sunscald.

WHAT AMERICA THINKS
Firmer Castro
Policy Fovored

OF those who said yes, the
most common reasons were:
The United States Government
must know what it is doing:
Castro is Cuba's own problem
and Cuba should be allowed to
deal with it without inter-
ference. and any more firmness
might cause war.
Castro is erratic and un-
controllable," said a Maryland
insurance adjuster. I'D punch
i'm in the nose"
He is arrogant, sadistic and
very definitely a Communist, "
declared a Missouri labor rep
resentative. "He likes Russia
too much" said a Louisiana
telephoe construction super
visor.
Here is a sampling of de-
tailed reasons given by thosc
who said the United States had
been firm enough:
IF we interfered any more
we would be going beyond our
rights" said the wife of a
Texas accountant. II think we
are too firm at times" said the
wife of an Arkansas insurance
representative. Il have faith in
