Cold Talk On
A Hot Day

Recalling last winters snow
storms that paralyzed Eastern sea-
board states when thousands of
chainless cars wer stuck and
abandoned in streets of many cities,
Prof. Amos E. Neyhart, driver
training authority for the American
Automobile Association, recently
urged that all high school driver
ed" students be taught the easiest
way to put on a pair of tire chains.
Known nationally as 'the father
of high school driver training"
Neyhart told delegates from so
states. here at the Deauville Hotel
for the annual convention of the
American Driver Education Assn,
that teen-agers in winter affected
states can be taught how to apply
tire chains in six minutes. He said
this knowledge would greatly re-
duce chaotic traffic delays and win
ter skid wrecks which annually
cost multimillions of dollars wher-
ever severe snow or ice conditions
develop.
ut would also serve" he said,
ito give American youth more self
reliance-and some would train
their parents in this old-fashioned
virtue. This would help minimize
winter traffic troubles such as
occurred when chainless vehicles
blocked snowplows and even fire
trucks in Boston. New York, Phil
adelphia, Washington and other
cities during last December and
January.
TOO many drivers are too lazy
to bother with chains but if they
knew how to mount them the cor
rect and easy way with an applier
they would do it to avoid getting
stuck and delaying vital and pro-
perly equipped vehicles" he said.

Weekly Tree Talk

Tree leaves bear watching this
summer. When weather turns hot,
some leaves will fall, some wilt.
Still others may turn yellow or off
color from diseases or insect at
tack.
Knowing the cause of leaf chang
es is important. days Don Cantwell
of the Bartlett Tree Expert Co.
Prompt steps can be taken.
The wet spring has been conduc-
i've to lush foliage growth. With
the onset of hot, dry weather some
trees will shed excess leaves. This
is a normal act of nature. There
simply will be insufficient soil
moisture to sustain all leaves on
a tree.
Excess elm leaves usually turn
yellow before they are shed. This
does not necessarily mean the tree
has Dutch elm disease, but simply
that the elm is balancing root
with crown.
Leaf scorch shows up as irregu-
lar brown blotches on horsechest-
nut and sugar naples. This is due
to hot sun and drying winds. It's
not serious.
Willis, however, command atten-
ton. Verticillium wilt, an internal
fungus disease, affects maple, lin
den, elm and other trees. A limb
or two may suddenly wilt. Surgery
or removal of the wilted branch
plus chemotherapy injection is
recommended. Dutch elm diseases
manifests itself with wilt, also.
Here again major surgery is called
for, but the most important part
of elm care is Dutch elm disease
prevention.
Fungus diseases sometimes mar
leaves on ash. dogwood, elm, hick-
DRY, plane, linden, maple. oak and
sycamore. Timely spraying wit h
fungicides become necessary.
Insects may chew holes in leaves
or suck plant juices until the leav-
es become vapid and drop. Early
detection of insect attack by OBJ
serving the leaves, then quick
counter-attack by spraying, will
promote tree health.
Sniff, Don't taste certain leaves
Many trees and shrubs are aro-
matte. But small children should be
taught not to put leaves or stems
of rhododendron and mountain laur-
Ell in their mouths. These can be
poisonous. It's far better, says Don
Cantwell of the Bartlett Tree Elk
pert Co. to teach children to en-
joy tree fragrance by shifting.

Remove Culls From
Poultry Flocks To
Save Money

Any time is a good time to re-
move obvious poultry culls. wheth-
er il be in the laying house, the
growing pullet flock or the broiler
house, advises Ray Lloyd. extension
poultryman with the University of
Delaware. A bird of laying age eats
about Csc wor Tia of feed a month
just foTmaintenance. Ii she's not
aging, it costs you that much just
to keep her around. says Mr.. Lloyd.
II you multiply the number of culls
in your flock.
Obvious culls. according to Mr..
Lloyd. are those that are sick,
weak, melting. or otherwise out of
production. they can be detected
by pale, shriveled combs and
wattles, yellow color in eye ring,
beak. and vent, and by dried
shrunken vents, and by signs OF
melting. Young Gull pullets will be
smaller and less mature than good
pullets. Small, weak, or crippled
broilers alsoshould be removed
from the flock.
All these obvious culls may be
carriers of disease and should be
removed for that reason too.
A good time to Gull the laying
flock is night with a flashlight.
Keep a catching hook handy in
each house. Get rid of the birds as
soon as possible If there is no mar
ket for them, destroy and dispose
of them.
Research may show that close
rigid culling of poorer producers
or slow-maturing pullets does not
pay. But removing the obvious
culls, which will never be of any
real value, anyway. and which may
be carriers of disease, always pays,
Mr.. Lloyd emphasizes.

John Weinzweig. president OF
the Canadian League of Com
poSers, scored the triumph OF
the. day at the second Inter-
American Music Festival con-
cert yesterday afternoon at
Cramton Auditorium.
Mr.. Weinzweig's offering was
an imaginative and sensitive
setting of two lovely poemS.
unrelated except in mood but
united in a fascinating mar
riage through the Sorcery of
music. The first was by the
Spanish poet Pedro Calderon
de la Barca; the second by an
unknown Arabian poet as
translated by E. Powys Mather
The combination of medita-
ton and passion achieved by
Mr.. Weinzweig in the Wine of
Peace" utilizing serial tech
niques, was wholly remarkable,
and the work was beautifully
sung by soprano Mary Sim
mons.
Another surprise was Harry
Freedman's First Symphony,
which received it's world pre-
miere. Mr.. Freedman, who
plays English horn with the
CBC Symphony, studied COM
position with Mr.. Weinzweig
at the Toronto Conservatory,
but he Is no carbon copy Of
his master. His symphony Is a
a very affecting lyric work,
especially eloquent in the slower
sections. 1t is the expert Gre
alton Of a gifted musician.
These two Canadian works
comprised the second half of
the program-things were con-

intermission.
In an astonishing lapse of
Judgment, Conductor Wadding-
ton elected to play only two
Of the three movements Of the
difficult piano concerto by Gus
tavo Becerra. and by so doing
he served the talented Chilean
composer poorly. If the whole
work was not ready for public
presentation, it should have
been wholly omitted. Leaving
out the finale was perfectly
absurd.
This was unfair to Becerra
and to the fine pianist, Mario
Miranda, a Gieseking pupil,
both of whom were deprived of
a full opportunity to display
their art.
AS a substitute for the miss
ing movement, Murray Adas-
kin's "Serenade Concertante. A"
a completely nconsequentiality
which was easily the poorest
work yet heard in the Festival,
was performed.
Also-rans in rough order of
interest were Harry Somers'
neatly constructed "PasSacaglia
and Fugue";; Antonio Tauriel-
los "Obertura Sinfonica," a
happy South American picture
postcard, and Francoise Morels
"Esquisses;" a pleasant exercise
in impreSSionist academicism.
The CBC Orchestra, making
its initial United States appear
ance, is a good ensemble, per-
haps a little rough in the
strings, but nevertheless a
highly musical family. Mr..
Waddington put his players

However, he demonstrated very

alike were magnificent.

in a well-merited ovation.
The concert began with a
one-movement symphony by
CelSo Garrido-Lecca, born in
Peru but for some years associ-
ated with Chilean music.
Mr.. Garrido Lecca's work
was definitely serial in con-
struction and was nothing for
beginners, although exception
ally clear orchestration and
beautifully moulded climaxes
helped to demonstrate its logi-
cal structure and the fine
musical intelligence Of the
composer.

Composer An Architect
This sounded tame and old
hat after the violence of the
GinaStera, and was rather a
disappointment to me. The

fessional architect, and I would
have expected to find in this
symphony (as is evident in
other of his works. a keen SEN

its frank conservatism, left no
