Measure To Increase
Support of Libraries

Among Legislation, enacted at the
30-day session of~thc JGencraI<As-
scmbly was a measure to Increase
the States support of public Ii
brarics. Additional state funds
totaling S465,1O4 will 90 to the sup
port of public Libraries in Balti-
more city and the % counties.
In 1868, each subdivision will re-
ceive an additional amount of Is
cents per capita, based upon the
latest federal census. These funds
can be used for the current oper-
ations of the Libraries, including
purchase of books. In addition,
the legislation provides for a
change in the formula for calcu-
lating the States share of the cost
of local library operations. Under
its provisions the state will share
in an expenditure of S120 per cap
tia. States share of the cost of the
program will be approximately 80
percent.
A breakdown of the additional
funds shows Garrett county will
receive S3,O63.
Another measure of potentially
great importance was the estab-
lishment of 100000 revolving fund
to assist in the financing of in
dustrial plants in distressed areas
of the state.
Under the area redevelopment
act the Federal government is au-
thorized to participate in indus
trial plant financing up to 65 per-
cent, provided the state and or
local governments participate to
the extent of 10 percent. with the
25 percent remainder coming from
the industry or other conventional
sources.
A problem has arisen in Mary
land regarding the 10 percent
state or local participation. The
S500000 state appropriation was
made to solve this problem.

Says Many People
Confused on Facts
Concerning Forests

That many we'll meaning citizens
might be confused about facts CON
corning Garrett county woodlands,
was indicated this week by Arthur
Morrill,, assistant district forester.
He referred to an article by Wayne
WoT which appeared in the col
umns of The Republican two weeks
ago under the caption "Wildlife
Problem"
The following facts we're pre-
scented by Mr. Morrill, to present
the best information available re-
garding forest resources and to ex-
anime present policies in the light
of these facts. He says:
It's fact that
TWO-thirds of the total land area
in Garrett county is forested.
Ninety-two percent of our for
ests are made up of hardwoods and
II percent of these hardWoods are
oaks. Only eight percent of the for
est land is growing pine and hem
lock.
The planting of hardwood seed
lings in abandoned fields has proved
to be unreliable and unsatisfac-
tory. Hardwood stands start from
seed or sprout in tremendous num-
bers Olive to ten thousand per
acre. 1t is impractical to plan;
seedlings in any such numbers.
We are cutting pine saw timber
twice as fast as we are growing it.
Certain hardwoods are desirable
for their fruit as well as their tim
Der producing capabilities.
The Department of Forests and
Parks is currently conducting al
study in order to determine the
feasibility of planting Chinese
Chestnut and Black Walnut in Gar
rett county.
Garrett county has an ovcrpopu-
lation of deer.
Deer feed primarily on young
sprout growth and summer food
crops. Sprout growth is produced
by cutting hardWoods.
In view of these facts" Mr. Nor
rill continued, 1T is my opinion
that no one can describe our present
tree planting pragram as indis
criminate or i'll advised.
we are planting pines because
we need pines to replace an asset
which is being depleted far faster
than we can replace it. We are |
planting thousands of pines because
it takes one thousand pine trees to
reforest a single acre of idle land |
We are planting pines in preference !
to hardWoods because we are sure |
of success with pines and we are |
not sure of success with hardwoods. |
We are planting pines in preference
to hardwoodS in order to bring .
about the proper proportion of the |
correct kinds of trees and help rec
tify the present lopsided stocking
conditions.
I'VE are not overly concerned |
about producing mast for wildlife |
because the facts do not indicate |
any substantial gain to Wildlife |
through such a program.
However, we are not blind 20
the possibility of planting some
hardWoods which are desirable !
either for their nut producing capa-
bilitics or their timber.
Each year a few hardwood seed |
lings are given out free of charge |
to local landowners who evidence
an interest in these seedlings and |
who wish to plant them in areas |
where we can be reasonably sure |
of success. In addition, experiment
tai Chinese Chestnut seedlings have |
been planted on state lands and /

WHY GROW OLD?
Our inne Is Important
Time Is Our Life

ful commodity called time
and how seldom we remem-
Der what a great part it plays
in life.
Our health is measured by
the rate Of our pulse and
breathing and the time 1t
takes our blood to clot. The
seasons come and go, the
tide comes in and goes out,
the sun and moon rise and
disappear, with. set rhythms.
Even when we have a per-
manent, timing is important.
Terms Of Time
Physicists have broken time
up into micro-secondS, while
biologists think of time in
terms Of millions of years.
This latter sweep Of time
staggers the imagination and
may make our little speck of
time seem paltry, but it is
SO very crucial to us because
it is all we have in this life.
We constantly are making
choices as to the use Of our
time. Shall we do this or
that? Sometimes we try to
do too much and fly off in all
directions, losing ourselves
and the richest rewards of
life in the process.
We often are so lacking in
discrimination in the use of
our time. We fret over non
essentials. We spend time
and energy in doing things
which are not necessary. We
are harnessed by habit and
by what others expect us to
do.
Naturally we wish to fulfill
our obligations and do so.
Evening star., 1962-05-20

However, 1t seems to me that
there are many opportunities
for individual choice which
We do not recognize or take
advantage of.
Time Is Life
Once in a while it is
much more wasteful to wash
the dishes than to take a
long view at a beautiful sun
set. On other days, it may
be a waste to try to write a
poem or a letter. to work on
a new recipe or visit a friend.
when we haven't a drop of
much of anything in us to
give to anybody. That's the
day to clean out closets!
However you look at 1t,
time is life. and the use of
it should carry our individual
stamp. We should not be
flung down the years, willy
nilly, only to wonder what
happened to us. The use of
time has a terrific effect on
our health and our happiness.

To my mind, an ocean trip is the closest
thing to Heaven. In any case, it's prob
ably the closest I'll ever get, what with
my SCARED old soul.
And the thing that makes an ocean
trip really SeUendh Heaven is to fall in
with congenial group of passengers.
I've done just that! The first morning
after breakfast, | went up on the Sun
Deck for stroll and met the incest bunch
you ever knew. None Of them eUen sat at
my table in the dining room, but they all
accepted me ICith great charm.
There was q fellow called Jock Mac.
DOnough, whom you could have spotted
as Scotch without even knowing his
slightly cOmic-strip name. A middle-aged
party with that wiry pepper-and-salt hair
and Highland twinkle in his eye.
And there was young German, Fritz,
who was not at all stiff and stolid i
fact he struck me as born comedian. He
came from Frankfurt, but his family trav-
elled extensively and Fritz had been prac.
tically every place on earth.
There was Sir Oliver too, a fierce
looking British type who was really as gen.
tie as a lamb and never put on any airs
at all, despite his title.
We had q cute little trick from Boston
named Polly, and a suave-looking Russian
who suspect was of the old nobility -
and we even had young fellow from
Afghanistan who couldn't understand a

word Of English but seemed to get big
kick out Of our company.
Boy, we were a cosmopolitan group,
all right. And you'd think that there might
have been little differences of viewpoint.
But Toe never had eUen dhe hint Of an @gl.
H1eHt - perhaps IL 'C0s because, almost BY
Encouragement sCe neUr spoke Of sUOrld
politics or any Other subject t.Gt could mar
the pure enjoyment d oar UC,uee.
Most Of all I loved Marie - Marie de La
Rue! She was as French as female can
get. A trim young blonde who couldn't
help flirting any more than she could help
breathing. She liked to tease me by sit.
ting in my lap quite Unexpectedly. OF
course, it was very innocent, considering
our difference in age, and also that my
wife was generally present.
Oh, yes of course l initiated my
wife into the Club" 1t was on the second
day, and she shook hands all around, and
talked quite while with Polly and Marie.
Next day, tOO, she came up on the Sun
Deck and was most cordial - though |
must confess that | detected just a bit of
annoyance in her attitude. Think she felt
'Oosn't circulating enough or possibly
she suGsnt quite enthusiastic about Maie's
fxtGfiOus manner.
Ifyou ask me, " she said, "the reason
you like them SO much is that they let you
do all the talking" Which was probably
fair comment, because | must admit that
they all were darned good listeners.
On the fourth day she came up for a
while and was civil, but not really enthu-
siastic. You've just got to mix more"
she said. People are talking about YOU"
1 began to suspect dhos maybe she
didn't find Marie quite as enchanting as
did mean dbe business Of sitting
dO'm in my lap.
She came up On tlAe Sun Deck the day
before we were to land, and almost literally
whisked me down to lunch by the ear.
She really was Fit to be tied. 1--WE have

between her teeth. 'And so help me, l

Alpine Climber
Toll Put at 23o

ROME. Nov. 3 (AP).-The
alpine ountain-climbing
death toll this season dropped
to its lowest mark in six years,
but foolhardiness and mex
perience were blamed for keep
ing the deaths still well over
200.
The 239 dead this year in
the Alps Of Switzerland, France,
Germany. Austria and Italy
was a drop from the 265 who
died in 1861 and the 246 who
died in 1860. 1t was far below
the all-time high of 1856 in the
storm-buffeted 1857 season.
Experts in all five countries
said the toll would have been
still lower If the mountain
climbers had used better sense.
Weather this year generally

Stevenson Reports Gain
In Soviet Bases Talks

Adlai e. Stevenson last night
reported satisfactory progress"
in negotiations for verified dis
mantlement Of Russian missile
bases in Cuba.
Mr.. Stevenson. United States
Ambassador to the United Ma
tions, cast some doubt on
whether the United States win
insist that an international
agency must verify the missile
withdrawal through on-site in
spections.
THAT remains to be seen, "
he told reporters after attend
ing a 24-hour White House
meeting with President Ken
.nedy and the executive commit
tee of the National Security
Council.
But Malcolm Kilduff, assist
ant White House press secre-
tary, quickly clarified Mr..
Stevenson's statement. There is
mo question" Mr.. Kilduff said,
that the United States will in
sist on inspection Of the missile
sites in Cuba.
Red Cross Role
The only uncertainty Mr.,
Stevenson meant to imply, Mr..
Kilduff said, concerns the ques-
ton Of whether the u. N. or
some other agency vii conduct
the inspections.
Mr.. Stevenson said there was
an understanding between the
President and Soviet Premier
KhruShchev that the U.N
would inspect the missile sites.
Cuban Premier Fidel Castro has
baked at allowing foreigners
to inspect his territory.
An agreement has been re-
ported for the International
Red Cross to inspect Soviet
ships bound for Cuba. Mr..
Stevenson said there was no
discussion at yesterdays meet
ing of the possibility that the
Red Cross also might inspect
the missile bases.
Whatever arrangements are
made to verify the missile pull
out, MIR. Stevenson said, twill
give us every possible security. :"
Asked about his impression
concerning the New York ne
gotiations, Mr.. Stevenson re-
piled: II think, given the in

I. The Benefits
Of Increased Trade

Specifically, enactment of
this measure will benefit sub
stantially every State of the
Union, every segment of the
American economy, and every
basic objective of our domes-
tic economy and foreign policy.
Our efforts to expand our
economy will be Importantly
affected by our ability to ex-
pand our exports-and par
ticularly upon the ability of
our farmers and businessmen
to sell to the Common Market.
There is arising across the
Atlantic a single economic
community which may soon
have a population half again
as big as our own, working and
competing together with no
more barriers to commerce and
investment than exist among
our so StateS-in an economy
which has been growing
roughly twice as fast as ours
representing a purchasin G
power which will someday
equal our own and a living
standard growing faster thar

Some 80 per cent Of our ex.
portS-more than 81 billion ir

and nearly So billion in agri.

whole story. For this fear Is
refuted by the fact that Ameri-
can industry in general-and
Americas highest paid indus
tries in particular-export more
goods to other markets than
any other nation; sell far more
abroad to other countries than
they sell to us; and command
the vast preponderance Of our
own market here in the United
States"
Given this strength, accom-
panied by increasing produc-
tivity and wages in the rest Of
the world, there is less need to
be concerned over the level OF
wages in the low wage coun-
tries. These levels, moreover, are
already on the rise, and, we
would hope, will continue to
narrow the current wage gap
encouraged by appropriate con-
sultations on an international
basis.
Evening star., 1962-01-25

over a five-year period. Ac-
cordingly, trade adjustment as
sistance. like the other provi-
sions Of the Trade Expansion
Act Of 1862, is designed to
strengthen the efficiency of our,
economy, not to protect ineffi--
ciencies.
Authority to grant temporary
tariff relief will remain avail
able to assist those industries
injured by a sudden influx Of
goods under revised tariffs. But.
the accent is on adjust :
ment" more than assistance" -.
Through trade adjustment
prompt and effective help can
be given to those suffering gen.
uine hardship in adjusting to
import competition, moving
men and resources out of un-
economic production into eff
cient production and competi-
tive positions, and in the proc
ess preserving the employment
relationships between firms and
workers wherever possible. Un-
like tariff relief, this assistance
can be tailored to their individ-
ual needs without disrupting
other policies. Experience with
a similar kind Of program in
the Common Market, and in the
face Of more extensive tariff
reductions than we propose
here, testifies to the effective
but relatively inexpensive ma
ture Of this approach. For most
affected firms will find that
the adjustment involved is no
more than the adjustment they
face every year or few years
as the result of changes in the
economy, consumer taste or
domestic competition. -.
At rare moments in the life
of this Nation an opportunity
comes along to fashion out of
the confusion of current events
a clear and bold action to show
the world what it is we stand
for. Such an opportunity is be-
fore us now. This bill, by en-
abling us to strike a bargain
with the Common Market, will
