DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA
Susquehanna Will Observe
Susquehanna University, where
Amos Alonzo Stagg spent six years
(1947-1952) coaching football with
his son Amos Alonzo Stagg Jr., will
hold one of the nation’s eleven
coast-to-coast 100th Birthday par-
ties for The Grand Old Man next
Thursday, August 16.
Susquehanna alumni, local well-
wishers and friends will pay tribute
to the remarkable Stagg at a din-
ner to be held in Seibert Hall on the
Selinsgrove campus at 7:00 p.m.
Selinsgrove Rotary and Kiwanis
clubs are cooperating and will at-
tend the event. ?
Coach Stagg, currently confined
to a vest home in (Stockton, Calif.,
was orn in West Orange, N. J. and
graduated from Orange High School,
Phillips Exeter Academy, Yale Uni-
versity and Springfield (Mass.) Col-
lege. He coached football at Spring-
field, the University of Chicago (for
41 years), College of the Pacific,
Susquehanna and Stockton Junior
A.A. Stagg's 100th Birthday
College. He retired only two years
ago after 71 years of coaching.
Before becoming a coach, he was
a Yale football player—mamed end
on Walter Camp’s first All-America
team — and a baseball pitcher
sought after by National League
teams. Stagg is the only man ever
elected to the football Hall of Fame
as both a player and a coach.
A living monument to physical
fitness, he played tennis and ran
regularly until his mid-90’s, and his
pursuit of Christian ideals in athle-
tics gives his career a special gloss.
Susquehanna’s 100th Birthday
dinner program will feature a mes-
sage from Amos Alonzo Stagg Jr.—
who coached at the Central Penn-
sylvania liberal arts college for 26
years, testimonials from several S.U.
alumni who played under the Grand
Old Man, the showing of two Stagg
films, and presentation of a com-
memorative bronze plaque to be
erected in the university's Alumni

Health Dept. Urges
Ragweed Destruction
The Pennsylvania Department of
Health urged Pennsylvanians to
destroy ragweed, the principal cause
of hay fever.
“Destroying the weed itself is the
surest method of keeping pollen out
of the air. Since most ragweed pol-
len falls within a very short distance
—150 feet—of its source, it is im-
portant that every owner clear his
own property if he and his neighbors
are to escape the miseries of hay
fever,” the Department of Health
said.
An estimated half million persons
suffer from hay fever in Pennsyl-
vania. Although sneezing, coughing
and breathing difficulties are the
usual complaints of hay fever suf-
ferers, other more serious respira-
tory illnesses — such as asthma —
also afflict some people allergic te
ragweed pollen.
The State Health Department last
year initiated a ragweed pollen
sampling program to determine in
20 communities throughout the
state. The program was expanded
this year to these 26 locations:
University Park, Somerset, Wash-
ington, New (Castles, Erie, Williams-
port, Swiftwater, Chambersburg,
Reading, Lancaster, Scranton, Al-
toona, Pottsville, York, Beaver,
Indiana, Easton, Sayre, Wilkes-
Barre, Coudersport, Bradford, Kane,
Lewistown, Chester, Hazleton and
Harrisburg.
Ragweed grows mostly in vacant
lots, fields, play areas, back yards,
-and along highways—anywhere the
ground is disturbed and anywhere
it will not be crowded out by other
vegetation. The dwarf variety grows
one to five feet high; it has hairy
stems and branches and strongly in-
dented leaves. The giant variety
grows 5 to 15. feet high and has
stems which are coarse, rank and
hairy and leaves which are three-
lobed or simple. Both varieties are
characterized by long pollen-bearing

Ragweed in small areas can be
controlled easily by cutting near
the ground or pulling them out by
the roots. However, spraying with
a 2,4-D herbicide is the easiest and
most efficient method for large
spikes at the tips of the branches. areas.
