Hunting License Revocations Mount
So far this year 663 offenders
have been denied the privilege of
Commonwealth for periods of vary-
ing length, dependant on the ser-
iousness of the offense each com-
mitted. :
The revocations were issued by
the Game Commission under the
Game Law delegating such authority
to that body. The majority of the
revocations were for one or two
years but mamjy were for three years.
In the cases of persistent offenders
the periods assessed were more ex-
tended.
At the ICommission’s July meeting
this year, 185 additional cases will
be considered for denial of hunting
and trapping privileges. These are
cases that were heard before the
minor judiciary and quarter ses-
sions courts, or those settled with
game protectors in the field upon
acknowledgment of guilt.
Another 55 cases will have the
Commission’s consideration in July. |
They resulted from referées’ hear-
ings conducted by ‘Commission of-
ficials to determine whether certain
human casualties were caused by
carelessness or negligence ‘while
All recommended revocations ‘are
carefully screened and are con-
sidered separately ‘to: make sure
that only the willful and malicious
are penalized.
Symbolic Bird Slain
Through an investigation made
by the Game (Commission, it was
discovered that an immature bald
eagle was recently killed and taken,
to a taxidermist for mounting. This
great protected bird. with another,
was seen for weeks in the. vicinity
of Maxwell, Fayette. County, along
the Monongahela River.
Numerous [persons shot at ‘these
birds, using small bore rifles, shot-
guns, and even highpower rifles.
Finally one of the eagles was brought
down, One defendant in ‘the case
stated he thought ‘the bird was a
big sparrow hawk! ena
Penalties are still being collected
from those involved in, the destruc- |
tion of the fierce bird, symbol of our
counrty’s fearless defiance of any
who would attack us. bi
THE LODGEPOLE PINE =
From Alaska to Lower California,
the most comnien cone-bearing ‘tree
‘ branches.
It thrives from the Pacific Coast
inland to the eastern slopes of the
Rocky Mountains.
Wherever trees will grow in this
region, the Lodgepole Pine is likely
to be found. It grows from sea
level to altitudes of 9,000 to 11,000
feet. It is at its best in the Sierra
Nevadas, where the mountains
stand 8,000 to 9,500 feet above
sea level.
Some trees need plenty of room
in- which to rise and spread their

Lodgepole Pine
It flourishes in dense stands, where
each tree becomes tall and slender.
Only on the Pacific Coast does it
often remain a low tree with many
forked branches from the ground
up.
In the mountains, the average
Lodgepole Pine may grow to be
150 feet tall and from six to twelve
inches in diameter. Here and there
are a few giants which measure
three feet or more in thickness.
At the top of the erect trunk
are branches which form the shape
of a spire. The tree’s needles,
growing in clusters of two, are one
to three inches long and about an
eighth of an inch in diameter. They
are yellow-green, giving the tree
a light appearance.
Cones of the Lodgepole Pine are
egg-shaped, and no more than two
inches long. Covered with prickly
scales, the cones sometimes remain
tightly closed for many years.

that time. The seeds are so tiny
that it would take 100,000 of them
to weigh a pound.
The wood of the Lodgepole Pine
does not make fine lumber, but it
has many uses. The trunks are
trimmed into mine timbers, railroad
ties, poles, and ‘posts. The trees
also yield pulpwood, fuel, and coarse
lumber.
Like all trees, Lodgepole Pines
protect the soil and keep it from
washing away. They are especially
valuable for this. purpose, because
they so often stand where no other
trees will grow.
They are trees which have served
man for a long time. Many years
ago, says the National Wildlife Fed-
eration, it was found that the
straight trunks made good tent
and lodge poles. Ever since then,
the tree has been known as the

Since non-partisan newspapers us-
ually welcome rebuttal in regard to
their editorials, I have decided to
acquaint you with a young voting
Republican who does not especially
care for Ike.
I have no desire to question the
results of Mr. Zeiser’s work, other
than to say that I attended a con-
vention, in Harrisburg where about
four hundred students from twenty-
five colleges chose Adlai Stevenson
over Ike in the fourth ballot. Other
schools seem quite interested in
Pogo, and other comic characters.
I am interested chiefly in arguing
that we, as Republicans, are not
interested in choosing a candidate
to whom non-voting college girls
are attracted; neither are we at-
tempting to pick a man who wil]
appeal to the middle-of-the-road
element. Our desire is to select a
candidate who will effectively ex-
ecute the ideas of the Republican
platform, anid who ican convince the
majority of the voters that this plat-
form is in the best interests of the
nation. Thus a man for whom col-
lege girls would vote, if they could
vote, even if he were running on
the Democratic ticket is obviously
not our man.
In fact, we are mot voting for a
man at all, but for a political at-
titude. The man who best expresses
the Republican attitude today is
Senator Taft. Whether [Senator Taft
can Win or not, I do not know, but
it seems that people who prefer
more to win than to vote Republican
have, in the past voted Democrat.
Finally, no matter who becomes
the next president, IT am convinced
that people like Miss Ferenbach will
be disappointed. [The citizens of
America are lost in a wilderness
from which no Moses can lead us.
There fis work ahead, not for the
president alone, but for a hundred
and fifty-five million Americans, if
‘we are to escape disaster. [Strong
people don’t need a leader, but a
representative; weak people invar-
iably become the wvictims of their
leaders. The truly representative
Republican of today, and the next
president of The United States is
the Senator from Ohio.

A MEMORABLE WEEK
Dear Editor:
The first week of July is memor-
able in Pennsylvania's history. We
celebrate one of its days as a ma-
tional holiday because of the best
remembered fact of our National life
—the announcement on the 4th of
July in 1776 that Thomas Jefferson's
draft of ‘the resolution proclaiming
States of America had been passed
by the Continental (Congress.
That event, which has profoundly
affected human history and now
symbolizes the essence of the
struggle between the Westera
Powers and the followers of Com-
munism, is only one of several oc-
currences important to |Americans
which should be remembered during
the first week in July.
The first week in July has
especially important significance
for Wiyoming Valley. On July 3,
1778, 1100 British soldiers and
Indians attacked the Valley. In this
“Battle of Wyoming”, three-fourths
of the 400 men and boys who were
defending their homes were taken
prisoner and subsequently mas-
sacred.. Today, in Wyoming, the
Massacre is being commemorated by
a ceremony at the Wyoming Monu-
ment in Wyoming. Professor Leroy
Bugbee, Wilkes-Barre, will be the
speaker.
The second, and perhaps equally
important, ig the fact that on the
3rd of July, 1863, the charge of
General George Edward Pickett on
the battlefield of Gettysburg, one
of the most theroic efforts ever
chronicled in military historly, was
repulsed on Cemetery Ridge, and
that repulse marked the beginning
of the defeat of the Confederacy, so
that both the formation of the
American Union and its preserva-
tion, from division, occurred on
Pennsylvania soil in the first week
in July.
This week is also marked by other
strong associations for Americans.
On the 4th of July, 1754, George
Washington surrendered Fort Neces-
sity when, the first campaign of the
LITTLE ROBERTINO ROSSELLINI is driven from Rome’s Salvador Mundi
Hospital after getting nis first look at his famous twin sisters. The son
of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini appears quite as interested
in the scenery as in his recent experience. In front, seated beside the
driver, is a woman believed to be a nurse for the girls. (International)
Babson Discusses
"32 Opportunities
During the past month nearly
every family has had some young
member finish school or college and
go out into the cold world to work.
Far Fields Look Green
Some of these have taken jobs
away from home. The brighter lights
of another city have looked good.
They want to be connected with
some big corporation which they
have seen advertised in mational
magazines, forgetting that the large
ones have their troubles as well as
the small ones. Besides, one dices
not learn as much with a large com-
pany. Unfortunate is the young per-
son who thinks his days for study
and learning are over because he
has “graduated” and has a “dip-
loma.” )
Young people should also think of
the possibility of World War III
when selecting a place to settle.
This means ‘that the twelve large
cities cited by the Government as
especially vulnerable should be
avoided. These are: New York, (Chic-
ago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Los
Angeles, (Cleveland, Baltimore, (St.
Louis, Boston, Washington, and San
Francisco. Surely, these cities are
no places to take a young girl and
start ito bring up a family. Hence,
stay where you now live.
Toads and Puddles
The real purpose of my little
sermon this week is to commend
the young people who are getting
jobs in the community where they
were raised—the city or town which
has paid for their education—where
they have relatives and friends.
These graduates are doing tthe smart
thing. The first principle of success
is to build upon the foundations al-
ready constructed. These founda-
tions for you, my reader, are in Dal-
las, Pennsylvania. !
Thousands of young people have
asked me, ‘What chance have I
without = money or capital?” I
immediately reply, “You have as
much chance to make friends as
anyone; real friends are the best
capital you can thave.” I have 170
people here in my [Statistical Or-
ganization and we are employing
more all the time. When looking up
the references of applicants for jobs,
I always want to know how many
“contacts” they have and the
character of these contacts. Other
things being equal, the one with
the most contacts gets the job. Your
best contacts are in lyour home town
or icity. Stay where you are. Pro-
tect and increase your present con-
tacts. Every one of them is worth
$500 each to you as capital. Better
be a big toad in a little puddle, than
a little toad in a big puddle!
Opportunities For Growth
Statistics show that the rate of
growth of some of the largest cities
is already declining. The big increase
in population is in the towns and
smaller cities. These now offer the
real opportunities to wide awake
young people, Therefore, get a job
in the town where your family now
his defeat on Pennsylvania soil at
Green Meadows near Uniontown.
Om the 4th of July in 1826 there
died two of the Americans vitally
concerned in the early struggle for
American freedom—John Adams,
second president of ‘the United
States, and Thomas Jefferson, third
president and author of the Declar-
ation of Independence. These two
men, who died on that historic day,
were the only men who having
signed the Declaration afterwards
became presidents of our country.

lives. Marry a local boy or girl and
raise some good kids. Take an in-
terest in the schools, churches and
civic organizations. They all need
new blood and new ideas. Remember
all the present leaders and big shots

successors, This is the least you can
do.
Don’t be too fussy about the
special business or industry where
you are working or are going to
work. Statistics show that some
families are making a great success
of every industry and every kind
of store. This proves there are
opportunities in every factory, store
and other business in your city if
the management is wide awake,
honest and aggressive. In fact, with
a “sleepy” employer you may have
doubts as to who are the “wide
awake” ones, apply for a job with
those who advertise. This is the
best barometer that I know of as
to whether a concern is on its
toes and headed for growth.
Watch Population Of Your Town
From 1940 to 1950 ‘the net growth
in population of the U. S. was about
19,000,000. If we avoid World War
III, there will be a net growth in
population between 1950 and 1960
of about 25,000,000. These people,
moreover, will be better educated
and better physically. Although we
may have a temporary slump in
business and employment during the
next two or three years, sometime
before 1960 we should witness great
prosperity. This means that this
year’s graduates have the greatest
oportunities of any young people
who have ever gone forth in the
world of business.
