novel about South Africa, coming
out this month carries one Of the
bluntest book titles ever: THE

Is the marriage of that attrac-

ON the rocks? Bailie hopes not.
They are both nice people!
A wave of break-ins, stealing of
auto wheels and other thievery and
vandalism is beginning again on
the Mill City Southside. Citizens
may band together to hire a priv
ate police patrol. Householders
blame it on indiscriminate renting
Of rooms to unl1nowns which is be-
coming more prevalent in the area
than before. Others say the rob-
berries look more like the work of
juveniles.
The stealing of wheels from
autos parked in front of residences
overnight or for long periods is
relatively new in the Twin Cities
but is Old Hat in cities like Kan
sas City, st. Louis and on the
Chicago Southside, it's murder!
Cruising gangs Of thieves spot
cars which are usually parked at
the same place each night and
move In jack, up the car and quick
ly remove wheels. Some are SO ex-
pert that they leave the car on
bricks all around. Others steal only
the wheels facing the street for
fear the householder awakened by
the noise win see them at work
and take a pot shot at them.
At least seven of the Minneapo-
lis solicitors who were furnished
coin receptacles for the Fair
Housing March did not report their

wonders what their story is.

alton say he talks in generalities

cy legislation.

A malathion spray is an ef-

The female magnolia scale is
large and round and white. The
best time to spray is after the

Revised Law Protects
Trees From Injury

sary insurance. Certainly few
property owners carry insur-
ance that will protect them If
q worker were injured and
brought suit, hence it is best
to deal with qualified licensed
firms or workers.
Another way to look upon
this step forward is that it is
only through such people that
we may be sure Of our grounds.
A caller not long ago wanted
to know If $78 was about right
for fertilizing and trimming a
dogwood tree. The man who
asked this amount could hard
ly be a qualified person because
dogwoods seldom need fertiliz-
ing and then only a surface
application because of their
shallow-growing roots. And, III
is seldom necessary to prune
dogwoodS except to remove dead
and damaged branches.
Serious Injury Possible
Under the present regulations
the homeowner should ask to
see the mans license to oper-
ate in Maryland. If he does not
have one he should be report
ed to the State Office, Forests
and Parks, or maybe to save
time notify the police. Unquan-
fled workers can seriously in
jure trees through the wrong
use Of fertilizers, spray mate
rails, and by improper pruning.
Valuable trees are just too hard
TO come by to take chances
with unqualified workmen. And,
the only way to tell whether
or not they are qualified is to
have them licensed by an ex-
aiming board.
The State Office. Forests and
Parks, If called, offers to study
tree problems and to recon-
mend several qualified licensed
firms so that competitive bids
may be obtained. With this
help 1t should be possible to get
the work done at reasonable
prices by those best fitted to
do the job.
