TREE TALK
BY R. A. MASON
As the French say, “Vive
le difference:”. This was nev
er mere true than the day Last
week when a homeowner In For
est Park calleri to report
another case of butch Elm Dis
ease. The tree was a Chinese
Elm. It was t>elng eaten by
little beetles. The grass un
der it was already carpeted
with dead leaves. The tree
Itself was covered with little
muddy-yellow beetles . . The
warning bell clangored loudly
In my brain. We asked the
lady not to cut down the tree
until we could examine it: the
Forestry Commission preferr
ed Its Metro f oresters to verify
all cases of the Dutch Elm
Disease.
It was as she had said. The
tree was covered with pale
brown-yellow beetles. But it
was the leaves the beetles were
covering, the trunk had only
a few on It. Therein lay the
difference. It was an attack
by tlie Elm Leaf Beetle, not
the Elm Bark Beetle. The
Leaf Beetle eats only the un
derside of the leaves. It does
not carry the Dutch Elm Dis
ease fungus. You can kill the
Leaf Beetle by spraying the
tree from top to bottom with
BBC in a water solution. The
tree will recover, put forth
new leaves, and live to cast
gracious shade for many a hot
summer to come.

The Elm Bark Beetle is an
other stor;.> He is very dark
brown or black. He doesn’t
care for leaves but burrows
quickly out of sight beneath the
bark to eat the inner tender
layer of cells. The leaves do
die but they tend to stay on
the tree: taking nn a color
like new copper, sometimes
branch by branch, with very
few leaves falling until the en
tire tree is dead. You can kill
the Bark Beetle with BHC too.
In fact this is one of the pre
ventative sprays for the Elm
Bark Beetle that the Forestry
Commission recommends in
densely populated areas. Un
fortunately killing the beetle
doesn’t stop the disease for It
Is carried into the burrows
under the bark as the beetle
feeds. On his feet and legs
he carries the fungus that kills
the tree. As he walks the fun
gus is brushed off and begins
to grow at fantastic rate. In
a matter of weeks it can stifle
the flow of food and water to
and from the tree’s manufactur
ing and storage facilities: tills
is evidenced by the copper
colored leaves. Then it is,
"Goodbye Elm tree.”
But l>e sure before you cut
it down It costs nothing to
have the Forestry Commission
check it. There is that vit.il
difference.

I Would
Say This
BY DR, L.S. WILLIAMS
A few '.lays ago, a sensational
story' was published and broad
cast throughout the nation. A
United States Senator drove his
automobile off a bridge into
some water and a young woman
in the car with him was drowned.
The accident was not reported
to police f r about nine hours.
There were some conflicting
reports about what happened
during the hours after the tragic
accident.
In reading and hearing many
reports on this regrettable ac
cident, one simple emnhasis
lingers to disturb me. This Is
based on a remark made by a
law man involved In the investi
gation. He and others were
considering how to get the true
facts and movements of the in
dividuals involved. The most
obvious approach was that of
interviewing all the persons
who had attended the party prior
to the accident. Tills was re
jected on an interesting basis.
It was pointed out that a man’s
friends would tell the same
story which he himself gave so
there would be no value in talk
ing to the others.
I am not acquainted with the
men and women who were at
the party. There is no infor
mation available to me about
their record In telling the
truth. So I am not finding fault
with them. However, there Is a
complaint which has the note of
alarm. It is a red day to which
we have come when men who
enforce the laws are unable
to expect witnesses to tell what
happened in a situation that in
volves many angles, Including
life and death.
Friendship is a wonderful
thing. Protecting our friends Is
a pleasant kindness. These ex
periences should be within the
bounds of morality. Some time
ago, a brawl broke out at a
beer joint. Several persons
were cut and beaten. Two local
men were accused of the crime.
Defense help began to line up
the witnesses. I walked up o:.
group of teenage boys several of
whom had witnessed the fracas.
One was pleading with the others
to tell the same story. He out
lined what he wanted them to
say. Then he drilled them in the
answers. They laughed and joked
and found it fun to get ready for
telling Iles under oath.
Telling the truth is basic for
every level of human relations.
It Is the foundation of character
and essential for a moral hu
man order.

Soil Conservation Activities
BY TOM COLE
JULY’ was hot and dry. Au
gust comes in bringing clouds,
cooler temperature and much
needed rain. This favorable
change Is welcome by people
and plants. Without ample
moisture in the soil, deep
enough to reach the feeder
root zone, fertilizer can not be
made available to the plants,
without being in solution. Re
sults are retarded growth.
Soil and water conservation
farmers and landowners are
still applying the needed prac
tices as planned in cooperation
with the Upper Ocmulgee River
District. One of the major
practices at this season is pas

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
John Edgar Hoover, Director
Emerson once stated that
"Life is not so short but that
there is always time for cour
tesy.” This truism expresses
a principle which should be a
common virtue among all pre
sent-day law enforcement of
ficers.
The enforcement of the law
in our country today is not an
easy task. Certainly, law en
forcement is subjected to more
abuse and criticism than ever
before. Some citizens not only
verbally attack policemen, but
they also physically assault
them without provocation. While
such unwarranted action cannot
be condoned, th< law enforce
ment officer should not let hos
tile public reaction affect the
manner in which he performs
his duty.
One of the complaints law en
forcement officials hear re
peatedly is that the personal
contact between the public and
officers on the street is de
creasing. No doubt this Is
true, but police officials have
valid explanations for the de
cline. Some of the factors in
volved Include the rapid in
crease of population, the con
tinuing growth of areas to be
policed, the lack of manpower,
and the obvious advantage of
direct, constant communication
with motorized patrolmen.
Thus, in adopting procedures
and changes to meet its obli-

Dr. Leonard R. Daniel
F W MM Dean, Clayton Jr. College
If there is doubt in the minds of our local citizens, that the Clayton Jr. College will be lacking
in competent faculty members, this article should settle the Issue. Let us start first with the educational
background of Dean Daniel. B. CH. E. (1946), Ph.D. (1952), Georgia Institute of Technology. Graduate
Major; Chemical Engineering; Minor: Applied Mathematics. National Science Foundation Institute
in Radioisotope Technology, University of California; NSF Chemistry Institute. Montana State College-
NSF Analog Computation Conference, Michigan Technological University : NSF Conference on NMR and
ESR, University of Florida. NOW HOW ABOUT THAT;::
Prior to his association with Clayton Jr. CoUege, Dean Daniel was Professor of Chemistry at West
Georgia College in Carrollton, Georgia. He also was chairman of Science and Mathematics Director
of the Computer Center, Director, National Science Foundation Summer Training Program for Secondary
School Students, and Director, Technology Training Conference State Technical Services Act - U S
Department of Commerce.
Dean Daniel has taught Chemistry, physical chemistry , introduction to computer programming plus
specially designated Institute courses In mathematics and physical science. This is only a brief svnopsis
of Dr. Daniel’s accomplishments. It Is virtually Impossible to cover in tills colum the broad experiences
of this great educator. We are Indeed grateful to have such a gentleman and scholor in our Clavtnn
C ounty and Georgia School System. 5 ’

bushes with chemicals which
deadens the roots of the hard
woods along with the tops. You
can look at his 10-acre farm lo
cated on Fitzgerald Road and
see fescue-clover pastures
where some Black-Angus cat
tle are getting ample grazing.
After looking over his vege
table garden, I got the im
pression that he Is a profes
sional gardener.
Paul E. Trippe has done a
good job in mowing his fescue
clover pastures located on State
Hlghway-42 and Fielder Road
near Rex. He has five pas
tures and practices rotated

of any one pasture. This pro
vides more green weight of
graz-per acre meaning more
pounds gain on beef-cattle per
acre at lower cost.
Fescue planting time is the
last week of August for best
results. So, lets get our fields
prepared, fertilized and ready.
gations in the fight against
crime, law enforcement has, out
of necessity, but with reluc
tance, lost some of its valua
ble personal relationship with
the individual citizen. This is
why it is so vitally Important
that every officer be courteous
and considerate in the contacts
that he does make.
Objectionable traits of one
member of a police department
can be a serious liability to all
members. Arrogance and con
descension have no place In
law enforcement. If an offi
cer is to uphold the ethics of
his profession, he cannot let
personal feelings or prejudices
Influence' his actions. As a
policeman, he is given a pub
lic trust, and the public has
every right to expect him to
serve all citizens alike, with
integrity and honor. After all,
the good will and assistance of
the public are his most valua
ble assets.
Departments seeking means
to Improve their public Image
should check their courtesy rat
ings. Courtesy Is a basic to
good public relations. While
it may be in danger of be
coming a lost art in some seg
ments of our complex society,
courtesy must be an ingrained
habit of every law enforcement
officer. He should always have
"time for courtesy.”
THERE ARE GROWING indications that the Congress will
remain in session this year until late November, or possibly even
into December In fact, nearly year-long sessions have become the
rule rather than the exception.
I have long questioned this practice. I doubt the wisdom ot
requiring members of Congress to stay in Washington lor a full
I! or 12 months I know it is not necessary. 1 his is particularly
true of a year like this one.
l egislative work could of course be speeded up. in committee
and on the floor. This would result in sizeable savings ot both time
and money. But equally important. I believe Senators and Repre
sentatives ought to be able to leave the coniines ot official Wash
ington and return to their constituencies tor at least a reasonable
portion ot the year. Government, even at the national level, should
remain as close to the people as possible I his alter al! is the
essence of a representative democracy.
ASIDE FROM MTROI’RIVI IONS to fund the operation of
the government, there are several important issues lacing the
■ Congress this year, such as steps to curb inflation, the surtax, tax
reform, the anti-ballistic missile system controversy, education,
job training, and self-help programs for the needy.
All these demand our attention They are vital to the well
being ot all Americans and to the security of our nation. These
are high priority items on the legislative agemia. but I fail to see
why they should consume a whole year.
And beyond these issues. I for one do not believe that this is
the time for new- and expensive ventures in the legislative lield.
THE CONGRESS AND IHI \DMINIS IRA I ION are being
accused in some quarters ot inaction. However, in mv judgment,
this is in keeping with the mood ol the public at the present time.
I do not believe a majority ol the people want to see the Con
gress or the new administration rush pell mell into a vast arrav ot
far-reaching programs that will cost more money at a time when
oppressive taxation and inflation already plague the nation.
The people want and need more time to sit back ami take stock,
to reassess and evaluate. The same is true ot the Congress. We
would do well to complete the business at hand and adjourn for
the year as early as possible
