EST L7 By J7m Zferens 4 Vandal's Paradise Vandals are on the prowl in ancient Hexham, according to my favorite English newspaper, the weekly Hexham Courant. The headlines on the front page 'state that "a shrub" was not only uprooted but stolen from a public park. The "Cemetery and Pleasure Grounds Commit tee" (actual name) raised a great uproar of protest in the town council, the Courant's leading editorial of the week denounced the crime and demanded that vandalism of such outrageous w w Oelkious orange-rich Real Gold beverage pleases everyone!

Th limes of Arlington, Wash, also carried news and a power ful editorial on vandalism in a recent issue. The story was of a town park on which the coun cil and civic groups had spent money and labor through years for Arlington -people with the want for picnics and outings. But at last the park had to be given up. Why? You know the answer. It is an old story everywhere, In the Arlington park plumbing installations were torn up and stolen. Picnic tables were brok en and burned. Every other im provement was ruined soon after it was made. Law enforcement officers and the courts pleaded helplessness. They all but hang vandals in Hexham, England. It is vandal's paradise here. Blots on The Green .... It is our habit to idealize the non-commercial values of the forest. Often, of course, the high sounding talk about the inspira tional influence and uplifting ef fect of nature's forest is of polit ical design that has the purpose of winning support for land soc ialization and of smearing bus iness enterprise. Any honest- study of the use of the forests by masses of peo ple is bound to face the ugly facts of uncontrollable vandal ism in national parks and wilder ness and recreation areas, the extreme prevalence of drunken ness in forest hunting and fish ing camps, the freedom with which gun-toters on timber roads shoot the locks off privately owned gates, the carelessness with fire that is a common attri bute of trespassing berry pick ers, - greens pickers, Christmas tree rustlers and others who move in on both public and pri vate forest property without re gard for law, order or common decency. Our land is bright and green indeed. But it is badly spotted with blots of degraded human behavior. The psychopathic in cendiarist, the irresponsible smoker and the feckless recrea tionalist are the main sources of the man-caused forest fire. These facts, joined with the inci dence of illegal logging practices in the commercial forest, reflect destructive forces, roots of evil, in the relationship of trees and people in the Pacific Northwest. Let's face it, as England does. The Worst of Wildlife As long as we are looking at Rogue River E. J.

Guests at the party were Mrs. Kunick's father, Wil liam Spivey and her daughter, Ida Pearson; Mr. and Mrs. the forest and its use without pretty colored slides but in grim black and white, let's face the realities of wildlife. The seed eating rodents and the animals that browse on tree seedlings and strip off bark to kill sapling trees, are obstacles to industrial reforestation programs. The spruce budworm, the helmock looper and the bark beetle are kinfolks of the forest wildlife family and they are the dead liest tree killers on earth, wreaking even more devastation than fire does. Our forests do carry the ap peal of a cool, green summer land to people who want to es cape from urban drabness, grime and din into nature's fresh air, quiet, calm and peace. But among the hosts who respond to the appeal there are literally swarms of budworms, loopers, beetles and rodents in human guise American vandals on the prowl. Surely the vandal is the wild est and worst of all God s crea tures in the woods. Tribune United Press Full Leased Wuo 1952 Pages 1-6 Chuck Riggs and daughter's Kathy and Charlene.
