Nearly every parish in the

Council Told
Not to Hike
School Funds

While having authority to
reduce the Board of Educa-
ton budget if it deems it adj
visable, the County Council
cannot go above the boards
own request, the council was
advised Monday night.
The opinion by County Attor-
ney Robert G. Tobin, which had
the effect of freeing the council
from pressure brought to bear
by civic groups dissatisfied with
the Board of Education budget,
came at the start of a Joint
meeting of the council and the
school board.
Tobin cited the Maryland
code as his authority in contend
ing that the council cannot au-
thorize funds beyond those orig
inally proposed by the school
board. At the same time, he
said, it can delete certain items
lin whole or in part" provided
it gives reasons for the dele
tons.
The attorney also implied that
previous county officials have
stepped around the law by
transferring funds from one de-
partment to another without
altering teh overall budget total,
asserting that such a move is
not permitted under the law.
His report came at the start
Of a three.hOur meeting during
which DR.. c. Taylor Whittier,
superintendent of schools, was
subjected to a barrage of ques.
tons about school budget re-
quests. Virtually all of the
questions came from members
of the council, with board mem
bers interfering comments or
questions on few occasions.
A budget appropriation of
S145,1 1873 for the school systems
information epartme emit,
amounting to an increase of
$50, 900 over the current year,
brought extensive quizzing from
council members.
DR.. Whittier replied that the
Increase is due primarily to the
fact that the new request is a
consolidation of funds divided
among several other depart
ments in the past. He said they
have been combined in a single
department as a move toward
increased efficiency.
During the discussion about
the information department,
Council Member Mary Hepburn
questioned the superintendent
about the need for a recent sur
vey in which residents were
questioned about the effects of
newspaper stories concerning
school activities.
DR.. Whittier conceded the
survey was conducted as the
partial basis of a masters de-
gree thesis prepared by a mem
Der of the information depart
ment. However, he said, school
personnel on a number of occa-
sions have participated in thesis
studies that have benefited the
school program, and asserted
the recently-obtained informa.
ton has been of value to the in
formation program.
In response to further ques-
tons about the information pro-
gram by Kathryn Diggs, DR..
Whittier pointed out that it is
devoted to activities other than
publicity about the school pro-
gram. Major factors, he said,
are distribution of necessary in.
formation about the school pro.
gram to teachers and other EN-.
ployes and preparation of the
annual school report, of which
some 10000 copies are printed.
Council members questioned
DR.. Whittier about a variety of
other costs, including salaries
devoted to student counselors,
psychologists. a $4,000 trans

said is partially utilized in con-
nection with the schools Civil

ties, DR.. Whittier asserted, are

tional program and he insisted
costs have been held to a bare
minimum.

Scene of
Graduation

The Brazilian American
Institute today graduates 80
students who have completed
the course in Portuguese Of
fered gratuitously by the In
Stitute.
Graduation exercises were
to take place this afternoon
at the residence of the Bra
lillian Ambassador Roberto
de Oliveira Campos, on Mas
Sachusetts avenue NV.
The Brazilian American
Institute initiated its activi-
ties in October, 1861 on an
experimental basis. The first
year demonstrated that the
experiment was successful,
so courses were reorganized
on a more permanent basis.
Enrolment was opened to
all who were interested, and
in only two days more than
400 applied.
AS a result of this increased
interest, the Institute will
increase its scope in Sep
TENDER by taking on a large
number of classes and
broadening its field of activi-
ties so that it will be a true
center Of Brazilian-America
culture.

Protocol officials will do a
turnabout and help the
African President with his

He has forwarded his guest
list here, but naturally many
on the list are probably off
on vacations, and other
guests must be selected.
No Embassy Here
This is a switch IN duties
for Protocol, which usually
tends only to the United

has no embassy here and so
Protocol steps in to help.

Moose Range Is Testing Ground For Erosion Control Programs

A soil and moisture program was initiated on the Kenai Ma tional Moose Range in the fall of 1861. Basic purpose of this pro- gram is to provide for the protec- tion and intelligent use of soil and water resources on wildIife refuge areas.
 The Moose Range project has largely been directed towards understanding the process involv- ed and measures to be taken in combating and preventing soil erosion, says John B. Hakala. re- fuge manager.
 When vegetation and ground cover are removed, either by fire or by mans activity, erosion of some type follows.
 In the period following the 1947 Burn on the Moose Range, wind and water erosion occurred until the vegetative cover was again established. This took up to six years on some sites.
 When the cover and the surface layer of soil is removed by mans activities, the erosive problem be- comes especially acute. Examples can readily be observed in high way eutbacks. Such an area exists along the Sterling Highway on the western edge of the Kenai Mountains. The cutbanks are composed of fine, silty, wind deposited loess. This material is technically not soil but an un- weathered rock-flour. It does not have properties of particle CO., hesion present in true soils and, as result, is highly subject to erosion.
 Summer rains are not major contributors to this type of ero-

sloh, Hakaia sad. They occur, as a rule, in the form of light rain or drizzle, and come at a time (late summer) when absorption capacity of the soil is highest. Most of the erosion occurs during the freeze-up and, especially, breakup periods with signifi- cant amount taking place during winter warm spells. This particu- lar type of erosion is termed "mudflow erosion"
 The freezing process in the fall draws moisture up from below and concentrates it in the surface zone. When it is warm enough to thaw, this silt material goes in- to partial suspension and flows down the slope over the still froz- en, impervious layer beneath. This process is initiated any day on which the temperature is above freezing. In the spring, severity reaches it's peak with breakup and an added water source in the form of melting snow. Erosion becomes especially significant in this area as 1t has found it's way into near by Jean Creek, silting-up salmon spawning beds.
 Experimental findings to date indicate that the best method of erosion control is to establish a sod-forming grass as a cover crop. the refuge manager said. Of the several varieties tried, the most satisfactory has been mixture of meadow foXtail, meadow fes- cue Cor red fescue), oats and al- sike clover.
 A mixed fertilizer, with an an- alysis of 8-32-16 (nitrogen, phos- phorous and potash) was applied at 800 pounds per acre with side dressing of ammonium nitrate GOO pounds per acre) in early August. A jute mesh mating was laid over the trial plots to hold soil and seed in place until the cover became established. Water ing was necessary until the plants had developed a root system.
 
 The growth was good and satisfactory sod was obtained. If these trial plots stand the spring breakup period, they may do the job on all but the steepest slopes, according to the Moose Range supervisor.
 Erosion potential is high for many of the soil areas on the Ke- mai Peninsula and it is far easier and vastly cheaper to take pre- ventive measures than to attempt to rectify the damage, Hakala asserted. Removal of vegetation and ground cover is an open in- vitation to erosion which may produce serious consequences Tn the destruction of salmon and trout spawning beds. The least that can happen is the appearance of unsightly erosion scars and the loss of an extremely scarce item in Alaska = topsoil.
