come to Milton and benefit the COM
munity and its children in count
less ways, will go instead to other
school districts in the state because
the voters of those districts said
"yes" to their referendums.
If majority of the voters say
"yes" this Saturday, Millions share
of the burden will amount to One
Hundred Forty-four Thousand Dol
lars ($144,000.00) or 400 of the to-
tai cost. The average cost per FAM
lily per year will range from $3.50
to s14.00. depending on whether the
rate comes from Real Estate or
Capitation or both. Within so days
after the referendum is passed the
voters of the district will be given
the opportunity to vote their opin-
ions as to which of the three meth
DDS is the mosl acceptable. A spe-
cial meeting will be held in the
school auditorium in this regard.
The vote this Saturday is a con
science" vote. 1t is concerned more
with the mind than the pocketbook.
The future of Milton and the hope
for progress in our community is
directly related to the decision that
will be made by the voters this
Saturday. Almost half of the 1860
census for Milton are school chill
dren. If we are for progress, we'll

Sen. Williams
Has Presented
Relief Bill

u. S. Senator John j. Williams
this week introduced bill to re-
quire states and localities to pay at
least 25 per cent of emergency re-
lief programs which are now paid
in full by the Federal government.
Under the existing law" the
Delaware senator said, "the FEEDER
al Government is underwriting all
of the cost of these emergency re-
lief programs, such as drought re-
lief, with the result that there is
little incentive on the part of the
State and local communities to su-
pervise the distribution and to in
sure chat the relief goes to those
for whom it is intended"
Senator Williams told the Senate
that under the program with non
state participation, millionaire
ranchers, owners of race horses,
and others have been declared eli
gible for relief payments.
Fer instance" he said, "the fab
ulous Kings Ranch received several
thousand dollars in relief with no
objections being raised by the State
administrators, presumably on the
assumption that the Federal Gov
ernment was assuming the cost
anyway.
''In another instance, the owner
of the racehorse Swaps. even while
his horse was winning the Belmont
Sweepstakes. was applying for and
receiving relief payments.
"CIne self-styled rancher with
only a polo pony and bird dog
was drawing relief to feed his live
stock" he said.
Senator Williams called for the
enactment of his proposal now be-
cause these relief programs are not
being utilized at the present time.
He said the proposal is necessary
for good administration as well as
being step toward turning back
to the States those functions which
can be handled best locally.

Mesh Screens Prevent Rodent
Damage at the Base Of Trees
A cylinder of half-inch wire mesh
placed around the base of trees will
fend off destructive field mice, chip
munks, shrews and moles this win
ter.
According to Don Cantwell of the
Bartlett Tree Expert Co., many of
these rodents run out of food in
their winter nests. So they go out
and forage on the bark of trees
and shrubs.
Some scoot across the crust of
snow. Some tunnel beneath the
snow. If there's no snow, it's easy
for them to dart to their favorite
feeding places; the nearest fruit
tree, or Towering cherry or crab
apple or a recently transplanted
deciduous tree.
They chew bark and girdle the
trees and shrubs at the trunk line.
Girdling often kills tree. Protec-
tive wire mesh should be pushed
firmly into the soil around the trees

trunk to keep the rodents out.
Mulches are desirable around
shrubs and trees. But these can at
tract mice There is no danger to
the trees if the mulch is kept a
foot away from the trunk.
Rabbit repellents such as thiram
sprayed at the base of trees are ef-
fective, especially in late winter
and early spring. But the residual
action is not too long, so repeated
applications are necessary.
Hungry Squirrels Snap Buds
From Trees, Even Strip Bark
Throughout the east this winter
squirrels have left their nests in
numbers to forage for food in tree
tops.
Don Cantwell of the Bartlett Tree
Expert Company explains this un-
usual winter-time squirrel activity
this way:
There was a rather good nut
crop last autumn. Squirrel staShed
away food for the winter. But now
the ground is frozen or covered
with snow and the squirrels can't
dig out the nuts they have buried
So, they are eating buds and
cones of evergreens. Some lawns
are strewn with tips of twigs of
spruce Squirrels cut them off, then
race to the ground and devour the
buds. The bark of naples and other
deciduous trees is sometimes strip
ped by squirrels. Many tree buds
will never live to open next spring:
Squirrels will eat them first
If specimen trees are damaged
this way feeding early in the spring
will help restore lost vigor.
