Richland County Weed Control District

A proven fact that is showing
up this year in Richland County
and which is confirmed by the
Department of Agriculture is that
good fallow methods and weed
control will produce a crop that
season like we have just had,
system of farming wouldn't be
minus grasShoppers. The reason
is that conservation of moisture
car be had by controlling weeds
Through good farming methods.
If it weren't for weeds, a good
spStem of farming wouldn't be
too necessary.
Weeds take at least, if not more,
Than 20 percent of the available
moisture in the fields where they
exist. Another thing that happens
is that during the process of
growth all plants use air. The
weeds and crop separate the air,
using the carbon dioxide necessary
for growth and giving off oxygen
as a waste product. Think of the
Saturation of oxygen in a field
badly infested with weeds. This
Saturation, causing suffocation,
plus excessive moisture consump-
ton will just make a crop
disappear.
2,4-D sprays speed up the
growth process in broadleaf
weeds within themselves. 2,4-D
is not a poison, but rather a
Stimulant to growth. Cell des-
truction results from increased
oxidation. The moisture supply
is cut off almost Immediately
after application. The plant stays
green for a certain length of
time because it is living on its
own stored food.
Soil SterilantS work the opposite
way. When they are used,
organic matter within the soil is
destroyed as we'll as bacterial
action. The plant just starves tc
death.
Chemical control of weeds
always holds a fl m fascination
for the user. There are so many
types of chemicals that can be
used for selective weed contro
in almost all crops.
High rates of 2,4-D can be done
on a volume basis. For example
take 160 gallons of water, pu-
in 5 gallons of 2,4-D with 4
pounds of acid per gallon. Thi.
equals 20 pounds of acid in YOU

Antilles Bill Support

BALTIMORE, Nov. IA 6APO -
Officers of the Maryland Res
taurant Association last night
called a special meeting of their
board for Thursday to consider
withdrawing support of a State
wide equal accommodations bill.
They said the meeting was
necessary in view of last Satur-
days demonstration against res
taurants. and the threat of a
larger demonstration this Sat-
urday.
On October II, the board had
announced it would do anything
possible to support the passage
of an equal accommodations bill
by the legislature which would
prohibit racial discrimination at
hotels and restaurants.
While restaurant association
members were meeting last
night, the sponsors of last Sat-
urday's sit-ins were comforting
on a new and bigger demon
stration this Saturday.
The Rev. Logan Kearse, pas
tor Of the Cornerstone Baptist

The major proposed changes
to come out of the committees
81 meetings held during the
last year include:
/. Specific inclusion in the
charter of the library board,

S. A switch from the re-

submit school bond issue to
the voters.

The other doctor also signed
a certificate saying that he had

not examine or question the
patient. but merely noted her
reactions while he was obtain

Importance Stressed
Mrs. Hood, objecting to these
certificates of the doctors, said:
IF there is any class of cases
which should be conducted with
the utmost care to observe all
of the requirements of the
statute, it is cases conducted
for the purpose of determining
the sanity of the patient.
The woman was taken into
custody on September 80 by two
policemen as a result of the
certificates filed by the two
physicians and a third certifi-

The reduced conviction Of

sion, made public yesterday
denied a request by the State
Attorney General for a hearing
on the grounds that the APP

That ends it as far as the
State is concerned" said AS
sistant Attorney General Ed
ward G. Bernard. L. A. Endres
clerk of the Third District
Court of Appeals in Sacra-
mento, told The Star the State
could have elected to retry
Motherwell in the Staying OF
72-year-old Washington widow
Pearl Putney but probably
would not in view of the
Supreme Court decision.
There now remains only the
formality of the Superior Court
in Sierra County resentencing
the 44-year-old construction
worker. Second degree murder
carries a penalty of five years
to life with parole possible after
three years. The action of the
Supreme Court was relayed yes
terday to Motherwell's Wash
ington defense attorney, John
T. Reyes.
A jury in Downieville, Calf.
convicted Motherwell of the
first degree murder of Mrs. Put
ney, his companion on a cross
country trip, after her bones
were found in the mountains q
year after she disappeared. He
was sentenced to life with pa
role possible after seven years
and began serving his sentence
in San Quentin Prison.
The Third District Court Of
Appeals rejected his plea for q
new trial but reduced the con-
viction to second degree on tine
grounds there had been no proof
of generalization or robbery. The
court also ruled the trial judge
erred in instructing the jury to
decide between first degree and
acquittal.

Six to Study
Fire Policies

A commission to study
whether Maryland should adopt
a program Of self-insurance for
fire protection on State build
ings has been appointed by Gov.
Tawes.
In another insurance develop
ment.. the Board of Public
Works yesterday approved a
switch to a new policy under
the present program, which
officials estimated viii save the
State about $4,000 a year.
The controversial issue Of
self insurance touched off an
exchange at the board meeting
between State Treasurer Hooper
S. Miles and State Controller
Louis L. Goldstein.
Suggestions for setting I'D a
State reserve fund to cover fire
losses rather than pay annual
premiums to commercial firms
have been made several times,
but have been rejected.
A new commission to study
the matter was appointed by
Gov. Tawes at the request of
the General Assembly. A reso-
luton introduced at the 1851
session by Delegates James
Clark, Democrat of Howard,
and Thomas r. O'Farrell,
Democrat of Carroll, asked for
the study.
Many State legislators and
other political figures in the
insurance business participate
in the present fire insurance
program.
At yesterdays Board Of Pub
lie Works meeting, Mr.. Cold
stein asked Mr.. Miles why fire
policies are not let by COM
petitive bidding. or a self
insurance plan adopted.
Mr.. Miles accused Mr.. Gold
stein of directing his remarks
I to the press table rather than
to him. Mr.. Goldstein coun-
tered that he had a right to
raise the questions.
Mr.. Miles opposed the self
insurer idea because it would
be very speculative" He said
a major fire could wipe out
the entire reserve fund.
He said there would be moth
ing gained in taking bids on
fire insurance because the rates
pre- standard. He said automo-
bile policies are put up for bid.
Gov. Tawes named a six
member commission, including
Delegate Clark and State Sen
ator James A. Pine, Democrat
of Baltimore County, to study
elf-insurance.
Meanwhile, the board, which
is composed of Gov. Tawes,
Mr.. Goldstein and Mr.. Miles,
approved a switch to a new
type fire policy which will cost
less.
The plan carries a premium
of $4.09 for each $1,000 COM
pared with the existing rate
of S5.45.

Seven teachers who favor removing the word white from
the membership Fairfax Education Association
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-11-14

sent out supporting arguments
urging removal of the restric-
ton.
The letters asked teachers to
vote in favor of the proposal
at a full membership meeting
on Thursday at 8 pm. at
Annandale High School.
Meanwhile, Roy A. Fry,
president of the association,
sent letters to all principals
asking that they be read to the
teachers.
Local Option Possible
The letter noted that a COM
mittee of Fairfax teachers had
consulted with leaders of the
Virginia Education Association
and that the State group is
now considering permitting
local option on racial integra-
ton.
Mr.. Fry's letter suggested
that removing the racial re-
striction now might get Fair
fax thrown out of the State
association and indicated that
county teachers should work
with the State organization to
obtain local option before
taking action.
THE objective of our
FEA special committee was
achieved" wrote Mr.. Fry, lin
that it was felt we should not
take action in Fairfax which
would automatically make us
ineligible to remain a part of
the YEA as an association, but
instead, should work through
the YEA to make it possible
for not only FEA but all local
associations in Virginia to set
their own policies on local
membership and still maintain
their status with the State
association"
Arlington Expelled
The Arlington Education As
ISOLATION removed the word
white" from its constitution
in 1854. The State organization
took no action, however, until
earlier this year, when Negro
members were actually adj
mitted to the Arlington as
ISOLATION. The county group
then was expelled.
The letter from the seven
teachers argued that none of
the county's professional or
civic associations practices seq
regation and said Fairfax
teachers should not retain the
restriction.
1t also assured teachers that
if the Fairfax organization
should tie turned out of the
Virginia group, members could
join the State organization as
individuals and retain their
insurance and other benefits.
