Approval Granted
Purchase of 1900
Volumes

The Building Commission of
the Smyrna Special School Dis
trict, at their meeting on April
6, approved the purchase of ap-
proximately 1900 library books.
These books will be placed in
the Smyrna Elementary Library
and will, be ready for use dur
ing the l960-6l school year. The
Smyrna Elementary Library al
ready has approximately 600
books as well as number of
reference encyclopedias and ma
terials. The books being purch-
ased included wide range of
materials chosen by teachers,
library specialists, and are high
ly recommended for students in
grades | through 6. Both f1c-
tion and non-fiction books are
included with great number
of books in the areas of science.
1t is hoped that during the sum-
mer it will be possible to place
all of these books on the shelves
and have them properly cata-
logged so that the library will
be in full use during the 1960-6l
school year, While it was not
planned, it seemed quite appro-
pirate that this purchase was
made during National Library
Week.

From Yuma
By Ted HoAin
Box 387. Yuma

WITH THE APPROACH OF
the sixth anniversary date of the
Supreme Court Proclamation
banning racial segregation in
public schools it is appropriate
to evaluate the results of the
proclamation. Fortunately, here
in the Yuma area we have no
problem with the implementa-
ton of the democratic principles
set forth in this historic docu-
ment by the limited States SUI
preme Court. Due to the coura-
geous and astute leadership in
our public schools system, we
are integrated not only on the
student level but in the teaching
staff as well, that is, to the ex-
tent that Negroes take advantage
of an integrated situation.
THE CONCLUSION MIG HIT
BE DRAWN that if such is the
case then there is no further con-
Germ for the Yuma area schools.
That is where our thinking goes
astray. It is for those of us in
the fringe areas of segregation to
take full advantage of all the
gains made and to make our
areas examples of the working of
the democratic principles which
lead to the fruition of the bene-
fits of the type of society which
we are try ing to create. We can
not take any gain made in the
direction of freedom for granted;
it must be constantly worked at,
improved n d expanded. This
then, narrOWS our discussion
down to simple, personal ques-
ton: what have you contributed
to the integfation of the Yuma
schools? This question applies
equally to parents and non-par-
ents The school children of to-
day will be conducting the affairs
that will be of vital concern to
you tomorrow. Certainly we must
not leave the entire job of inte-
grafton to our children. We must
show an active interest IN ac-
complishing integration. Join
with the parents of the children
with whom your child attends
school and become familiar with
all aspects of your child's school
life. Parent Teacher Associations
are wonderful groups to work
with.
5 A group of Yuma citizens have
joined forces to honor the mem
ory of one ofvour pioneers and at
the same time accomplish the
feat of helping deserving high
school graduate make the first
year of college. This is being
done through the SADIE b. DA-
Wis MEMORIAL sc H0L Ar
SHIPsFgJND. The late Miss Da-
Wis devoted So years of her life
to teaching and certainly the
honor accorded her posthuEA Aous1y
is richly deserved ore. Citizens
working with the fand are: Trus-
tees A. HI. Dearingy James T. Hol-
lin, Thelna Steen Martin, FL

lin, James Robertson, Bessie john
son, Darnela Robinson, treasurer

Leaf scorch is the term ap-
piled to the browning Of the
leaf edge and. finally. the en-
tire leaf becoming brown and
dead. The leaves may fall or
remain on the tree. It COM
monty occurs when the leaves
give OFF moisture fater than
the roots can supply it, For
this reason 1t is normally asso-
ciated with dry seasons. Nine
teen-sixty can hardly be called
e drought year although there
were periods in some portions
Of the Metropolitan Area where
near drought conditions pre-
vailed, but not for long, If we
may judge by the appearance
of the lawns.
But to come back to our tree
leaf problem, this condition is
most common on the shallow
rooted naples, especially the
Japanese maple CASUALLY called
red maple. This year other
trees such as the dogwoods have
been afflicted with leaf scorch.
Normally leaf scorch can be
combatted by watering the
shallow-rooted trees and by
pruning to reduce the leaf sur
face so that the roots can sup
ply the needed moisture to
those left on the trees. A light

From Mrs. M. D. Quick
234 Dale driue
SilDer Spring, Md.
When is the best time to
prune hydrangea bushes?
AnSDer
The ue-flowered, or
shiny-leaved hydrangea is
pruned in late spring-which
consists of removing the
dead stems, those that are
small and unproductive,
cutting them off at the
ground. The remaining
stems may be thinned if
large blooms are desired.
Any shortening of stems
should be done Immediately
after Towering before next
springs buds begin to form.
The other hydranges, A. G.
and PeeGee, are pruned in
the spring, shortening the
branches to one or two buds.
The more severely pruned at
this season the larger the
flowers.

The trunk OF a dogwood
transplanted from the woods
last fall was covered with bur-

long should it remain on the

Remove during the late fall
or early winter when the suns

remove the new shoots near the

will interfere with moving.
