| Freedom carries with it a belief in
the dignity and sacredness of every
human being. “For all—Jew and Gen-
tile, White and Negro, rich and poor
| —there shoud be unrationed brother-
hood.” is the slogan of one free com-
munity. Freedom must demonstrate
to the world that a diversity of cul-
| ture strengthens our nation, feeding
j with fresh water the springs of na-
| tional life.
| Freedom is justice and we must |
| remember that in a court of justice
a man is honest until proven other-
wise. Judgment is not passed on
what others have done. Judge not thy
neighbors by others. There are good
and bad in every creed and more
good than bad.
One man’s freedom is another man’s
freedom—whether it be in America,
in China, in Norway, or in darkest
Africa. No man is realy free uness
all men are free. No man’s home is
safe unless all men’s homes are safe.
What is freedom to you? Think it
over carefully and then apply it to
your fellow men, to your brother. It
must fit you both, or it is not free-
dom.

STATE NURSERIES SOLD
MANY TREES LAST SPRING
Nursery stock shipments by the
i Department of Forests and Waters
during the spring of 1944, reported by
Secretary James A. Kell, were. 1,125
orders of forest trees, 80 per cent of
them to farmers, or a total of 3,606,-
000 seedlings and transplants and 3,-
260 ornamentals.
The trees shipped by the Depart-
ment (seedlings and transplants)
were used to reforest upwards of 2,-
500 acres of land. They will eventu-
ally take the place of timber which
is now being cut for use in the war
effort from farm woodlots and state
forest lands. Species planted include
—(confires) red pine, white pine.
Norway spruce, white spruce, pitch
pine, banks pine, hemlock, Japanese
larch; (hardfoods) black locust,
black walnut, red oak, white oak.
Trees are furnished by the Depart-
ment of Forest and Waters to private
land owners for planting in the state
for reforestation and watershed pro-
tection at approximately the cost of
production. This is $2.00 a thousand
for seedlings and $5 a thousand for
transplants. Ornamental trees are dis-
tributed only for growing on state
lands, federal lands, and public sch-
ool grounds.
It is thought that, with a normal
growing summer, the following spe-
cies of trees will be available this
fall: red pine, white pine, white
spruce, hemlock, Japanese larch,
banks pine, black locust, black wal-
nut.
Requests for nursery stock should
be sent to the Division of Forest
Management, Harrisburg.

While the state plan is still in the
tentative stage, the Stae Council is
considering the possibilty of coord-i
nating the services of forest fire fi-
ghters, sportsmen’s clubs and Boy
Scouts of the Life, Eagle and Senior
grades, to augment the Civilian De-
fense unit, comprising a small army
that would be ready to act immedi-
ately in the event of any plane dis-
aster within the state.
AGRICULTURE.

Secretary of Agriculture Milts Horst |
has declared as the result of a sur-
vey by the Federal State Crop Re-
porting Service in the State Depart-
ment of Agriculture. The report
shows that the Keystone State now
holds the following rankings: third
in the value of chickens on January
1, sixth in the number of chickens
raised on farms last year, seventh in
the number of eggs produced in 1943,
seventh in the number of chickens

Due to the required immunization
| procedure, there has been no case of
tetanus (lockjaw) among the battle-
wounded in the entire United States
Army in the past two and one-half
years. By contrast tetanus is a con-
stant menace among civilians because
so few have sought the simple immu-
nization by tetanus toxoid available
to soldier and civilian alike ,except
that the latter must ask his docor
for it.

PAY REVISION.
The Department of Welfare, with
the approval of the Governor and the
Executive Board, has announced a
salary adjustment plan, effective on
July 1 ,1944, for employees of all in-
stitutions supervised by that depart-
ment. New minimum salaries have
been established and all institutional
employees now receiving less than the
new rate in approximately eighty
salary classification ranges will have
their pay revised upward. The incre-
ases vary from $5 to $25 a month.
