for a total of 10000 spruce; 1000
Douglas fir on Savage river, and
1000 Mexican pine was an expert
mental plot, for a grand total of
437 500 trees.
In the narrative report the dis
trict forester outlined many ac-
tivities.
Boys in the forestry camps
planted 100000 pine seedlings on
IT tracts, cut hardwoods from 244
acres of pine plantations on nine
tracts, poisoned 10 acres of hard
wood stumps after clearing brush,
piled and burned hardwood brush
from 20 acres on tracts, improved
four miles of woods road.
Blister rust control was limited
to Savage River forest.
In timber stand improvement 289
acres were selectively marked and
cut to take out undesirable trees,
with about 81 cords of pulpwood
and 1877 posts cut. Thayer said
an increasing demand for pulp
wood was forestalled by lack of
logging access roads.
Thayer pointed out that no new
research projects were begun on
any state forest lands in the county
this past fiscal year but that one
was started this year with 125
acres of different strains of Vir-
ginia pine being planted on the
Green Ridge forest in Allegany
county, the purpose being to de-
termine the growth progress.
AS far as physical improvements,
the headquarters building at New
Germany was enlarged, main roads
in the New Germany recreation
area were graded and surfaced
with shale, three miles of logging
access road in the Wolf Swamp
area brushed out and filled with
rock; construction begun on four
new log housekeeping cabins at
Swallow Falls; a new pavilion at
Harrington manor picnic area; a
bridge over Laurel run in Potomac
forest replaced.
Also in the Potomac forest four
miles of new fire access road was
constructed on the northern slope
of Backbone mountain in cOopera-
ton with the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company.

Near Bloomington

Three Beryl, w. Va, men were
injured Saturday night in a one
car crash on Maryland route 1875,
two miles west of Bloomington,
according to state police, who said
one side of the car was torn off
by the impact.
Russell S 10y, II, passenger in
the front center of the sedan, was
admitted to Potomac Valley hos
pital in Keyser where his condition

abrasions and Commissions.
James b. Fazenbaker, driver, suf-
fered a laceration of his left hand,
a number of abrasions and contu-
sionS, and was treated by Pied
mont physician.
Also treated by the physician
was James Feastcr, 10, passenger
in the right front seat, who sus-
tanned a number of Commissions and
abrasions.

Trooper Bruce E. Diehl, who is
investigating, said the driver

Letter to the Editor

Light of The World. What does
this stand for?
On Bedloe Island in the New
York harbor, stands the Statue of
Liberty holding aloft a lighted
torch known and loved by free
men the world over.
The statue conceived and de-
signed by M. Frederic Bartholdi
for the Franco-American union,
was paid for by popular subscrip-
ton collected in France at the
time of the Tooth anniversary of
American independence.
The statue was exhibited in
Paris in October, 1881, but not until
October %, 1886, did it finally
stand on its pedestal in New York
harbor.
The cost of this great statue
was more than a half million dol
lars and weighed more than 225
tons. 1t took more than five years
to construct it.
In 1916 President Wilson gave
the signal for the lighting of the
entire statue.
The Lighthouse Service of the
federal government tends the
torch, that this beacon light may
never go out.
November is darWing near, and
every man and woman should go
to the polls, as it is our duty to
do so. We listen to these other
troubled parts of the world, and
then this comes to mind.
In 1863 JuniuS wrote:
Let it be impressed upon your
minds, let it be instilled into your
children, that the liberty of the
press is the palladium of all civil,
political and religious rights of all
free men"
Even as far back as 469 BIC.
Pericles said:
Take these men for your eX-
them remember that
prosperity can be only for the free,
and that freedom is the sure pos
session of those alone who have
courage to defend it"
In 49 BIC. Cicero said:
NO one has power except from
the people. This is the condition
of free people-tO be able to give
or to take away by their votes
whatever they see fit"
We have the choice as a free
people. Let us all vote as we
should and please

swelling of the ankles is not I'M
common in healthy persons.
Simple swelling of this sort seems

A. The most important single
cause of hives doctors call the
condition urticaria) is food al
leroy. However, hives may be
caused by any substance to which
a person is sensitive and is often
associated with extreme nervous
ness. Sudden attacks of hives are
usually caused by such seasonal
foods as strawberries, tomatoes,
etc. Shellfish are responsible for
many cases of hives. Although
hives usually disappear at the end
of a week or so, cases have been
known to continue for several
months or longer. Treatment
consists of finding and avoiding
the particular substance or condi-
ton responsible for hives.

edition, it was dropped for a sem

There is one illustrative sem
tence that must be the envy of all
photographers in their blacker mo-
ments. The British editors of the
Universal Dictionary conspired to
illustrate the use of the word
"damn" with the following inspired
sentence: Damn this dictionary"

Just the other day, a child of
mine asked me: ''Do dictionaries
ever make mistakes?" mo, never"
| said, and then added, "well,
hardly ever" But wasn't sure,
and SO l went to take a look, and
the first thing l found was that
most dictionaries are all wrong on
certain points of geography.
Go to your own dictionary and
look up Mt. Whitney - you'll
probably find it described as the
highest mountain in the us. But
it isn't; Mt. Mckinley is the high
est, now that Alaska has joined up
with us. You may find Lassen Peak,
in the Sierras, described as our
only active volcano. But Hawaii is
now a state, and we've got scads
of volcanos.
So you can see that dictionary
editors are more than normally
worried by headlines - even good
news can make them jittery. They
have enough to contend with in
human error alone. In the past few
years, three dictionaries have made
the following slip-ups:
catechism spelled "catachism"
recOmmendable
spelled "reccOmendable"
opossum spelled "oppossum"
The famed Webster's Un-
abridged once went a step further
and dreamed up a word that didn't
mean anything.
Whos's q "dord?"
The 1896 edition listed 'dord"
as a scientific term meaning 'den-
sity." A physicist said he had never
heard the word "dord" used, and
where did it come from? The edi-
tors found the entry had originally
gone to the printer for the abbre-
viations section: I'D or d. den
sity." Somehow, the card got mixed
into the group intended for the
main section and emerged as the
brave new word "dord."
Jess Stein, of the American Col
lege Dictionary, points out that
photographers have not only head
lines and human error to grapple
with, but also pressure from read
ers. Chiropractors demand that
