Youth Needs
Understanding,
Doctor States
Dr. Jim Skinner, widely known
Griffin obstetrician and Girl
Scout leader, spoke to the Jack
son Kiwanis Club Tuesday night
during National Girl Scout Week
and urged greater and better
communication between adults
and young with “better under
standing to begin with me.’’ The
program was arranged by Bob
Pinckney, chairman of the Boys
and Girls Committee. The Jack
son Kiwanis Club has been a long
time sponsor of the Boy and Girl
Scout programs locally.
Dr. Skinner told of attending
the National Girl Scout Conven
tion in Seattle at which three
delegates from the Pine Valley
Council represented 3,744 Girl
Scouts, 680 volunteer workers,
and 4 staff professionals at the
meeting. He criticized adults for
not listening to the teen-agers,
stating that they want a voice in
community affairs and that they
have good ideas for community
action.
The speaker suggested that
the young desire to meet togeth
er as persons, desire for both
adults and themselves to be
heard, desire to do something to
gether, and desire desperately for
better communications and an
awareness of their problems. The
speaker closed his talk with the
thought that understanding of
the young begins with each of us
individually and that the title for
his address might conceivably
have been “Understanding Begins
With Me.”

Of course these
M JSk je ctsand we
should all be concerned with
them. But before we indiscrimi
nately ban the use of pesticides,
as some lawmakers would have us
do, we should consider the im
pact this would have on our food
supply.
Without using pesticides it is
estimated food costs would in
crease 50% to 75%. And even
with higher prices quality would
be down. Food supplies would be
reduced and starving countries
would have worse famines.
Some people say nature pro
vides predators, which of course
it does, but sometimes it takes
hundreds of years before nature
brings a disease under control
and by then the host plant may be
extinct. A good example of this
is the chestnut blight.
If we are to remain the world’s
best fed people, pay the cheapest
prices for our food, we can’t
take the tools away from the pro
ducer.
Spring and Sapsuckert
Go Together
You have all noticed those neat
little round holes in a straight
line, horizontal with the soil sur
face, on the bark of pecan trees.
These are usually established by
a bird called the sapsucker, and
usually it is done in the months
of March and April. The bird
actually uses part of the bark
(soft bark) for food. A couple of
weeks later he will come back
and look in each hole for any
insects that might be hiding.
The holes are only as deep as
the bark is thick as he is not able
to peck the wood. He prefers the
Stuart but will at times peck a
few holes in other varieties, in
cluding seedlings. The damage is
very little if any.

Season With
14-12 Record
By Patrice Marchman
Sports Editor, The Devil’s Diary
The Devilettes were defeated
by the Harris County Hornets by
a score of 45-38.
The Devilettes were able to
keep up with Harris Cos. until the
last quarter when the Hornets
took the lead.
Denise Davis scored 13 points,
Inice Dennard 11, and Carole
Lawrence 14. The guards were
able to hold the Hornets down
until the last half when fouls
caused the Hornets to take the
lead.
Doris Greene, Andrea Holston
and Patricia Marchman were the
guards.
This was the last game the
Devilettes would play together.
The three seniors, Carole Law
rence, Patrice Marchman and
Portia Barlow received the trophy
for the Devilettes.
The record for the year is 14
wins, 12 losses.
Pruning Juniper Correctly
Pfitzer and Hetzi junipers are
spreading forms and are notori
ous for their ability to grow into
large plants rather quickly. For
this reason they often overgrow
a location rather rapidly and need
to be pruned back to bring the
plants into scale with the sur
roundings.
The best time to accomplish
this type of pruning is early in
the spring so that new growth
will hide the large pruning cuts
that are often necessary. There is
a specific way to prune junipers.
This consists of tracing the main
stem back to a point where a
lateral or side branch occurs.
The pruning cut is then made
just above the side branch. The
side branch will act as anew
leader and in most cases height
or lateral growth will be reduced,
however, plants will not look as
if they have been pruned. In the
case of extremely large plants
limbs may often be shortened as
much as two feet or more. The
secret is to maintain the general
shape of the plant while shorten
ing the limbs.
