next spring to prevent frost
damage in strawberry beds.
Strawberry blossoms can be
protected against late spring
frosts with sprinkler irriga

of Wisconsin horticulturist
George Klingbeil. He said the
temperature of strawberries
will remain at a safe 32 de

Western Big Three
Seek Summit Anew
London (UPD The West

American decision to con
tinue nuclear weapons tests
until Oct. 31 when their con
ditional offer goes into effect.
The United States, Britain
and France delivered identi

that might lead eventually to
general nuclear disarmament.

SPECTACULAR
SEA BATTLE!
At the Corner
BBO'CETEHA I
Drive !o Extend
Confidence Opens
By Atlanta Judge
Atlanta (ITU You can't
(legally) confide in your own
doctor in 18 states.
Even the secrets you reveal
while lying on your psychi
atrist's couch can be pried
from him legally, and spread
before the public if he is ever
called to the witness stand.
Every state protects confi
dences you entrust to your
lawyer and gives husbands
and wives the legal right to
refuse to testify against each
other. But only 30 states pro
tect the confidences of doc
tors. Judge Luther Alverson of
the Fulton County Superior
Court here is campaigning to
extend this protection at least
to psychiatrists and social
workers in the other states.
Judge Alverson told a re
cent meeting of the Family
Service society in Atlanta
that only one state, Kentucky,
has a law protecting all types
of psychotherapists. Georgia,
he said, for example, protects
only psychologists.
Expected of Them
"Most patients that under
go psychotherapy know what
will be expected of them so
he lays bare his entire self,
his dreams, fantasies, sins and
shame," Alverson said.
"It would be too much to
expect them to do so if they
knew that all they say, and
all that the psychiatrist learns
from what they say, may be
revealed to the whole world
from a witness chair."
Alverson said he agrees
with the majority legal opin
ion of the 18 states that no
special protection is needed
for ordinary doctor-patient re
lationships. "However," he said, "my
contention is that there is a
distinction . between psychi
atrists and practitioners in
other fields of medicine. The
peculiarly close relationship
of trust and confidence re
quired between psychiatrist
and patient makes the situa
tion a special one."
Army Keeps Tabs on
Retired Personnel
Chicago (UPD The Fifth
Army headquarters has an
nounced it is. keeping close
tabs on retired Army person
nel and has even developed
retired personnel program
to aid the men in their role
as "military ambassadors" to
their home communities.
- In announcing the program,
the Army said the men will
act as representatives of the
service for purposes of creat
ing a closer civilian-military
understanding.
The Fifth Army said regu
larly scheduled "open house"
and other events are being
conducted at its installations
for both retired officers and
enlisted personnel. It said
briefings on current Army
activities' and developments,
from the "pentomic Army" re
organization to the Redstone
missile, are a part of these
gatherings.
The Fifth Army command
er. Lt. Gen. W. H. Arnold,
said he feels that retired per
sonnel "can and do perform
an important and useful serv
ice in keeping the public in
formed of the Army's mission
and its needs."

habitat as part of a National
Park Service program for
renovating the 170-square-mile
Badlands National Monu

Teamsters Meet
To Map Strategy
Stockton, Calif. (UPD
Teamster secretaries of Sac
ramento Joint Council 38 met
today to map their next moves
in the 14-day old western
trucking strike lockout.
The Sacramento council
touched off the lockout when
it called 2,350 members out
on strike in Central California
and Western .Nevada to sup
port demands for wage parity
with drivers in the San Fran
cisco Bay Area.
The union has since claim
ed that agreements already
signed leave only 1,400 men
on strike.
After the Sacramento coun.
cil members struck, emplover
associations in 11 western
states ordered a lockout, as
serting that a strike against
one is a strike against all.
Non-striking long haul
drivers out of work because of
the lockout began today to
draw California unemploy
ment insurance benefits.
Science Program
Starts in Grades
Quincy, Calif. (UPD A
science program that starts
simply in kindergarten and
continues w i t h increasing
complexity through the six
elementary grades is prepar
ing students of Plumas Coun
ty schools for advanced work
in chemistry, physics and
other natural sciences.
Lester Nichols, assistant
superintendent of schools, ex
plained: "We are not trying to make
nuclear physicists in the first
six grades, but we are con
vinced the groundwork can
be laid early for an under
standing of the basic physical
rules and forces as prepara
tion for more intensive study
in high school and college."
The county's forward-looking
program has been set
forth in a printed guide de
veloped by more than 70
teachers four years ago and
recently revised in a second
edition.
The study guide is not only
popular in Plumas schools,
but in districts throughout
the state. Requests have been
received from as far away as
Japan. Nichols said extra
copies have been printed for
any further outside requests.

The lovely Monarch butter

He has the second one be
cause the milkweed is the
one plant on which he feasts
and lays his eggs.
Nonetheless, Monarch more
suitably describes him be
cause, despite his conspicu
ous beauty and slow flutter
ing flight that makes him an
easy prey to fast-flying birds,
he has a built-in weapon of
defense that is very near to
being total. Thanks to it. he
is able to go almost anywhere
and in relative security.
Offensive Odor
His defense is an o"dor so
offensive that when a cloud
of Monarchs settle on a bush,
as you may see them do this
fall, the birds will leave them
strictly alone.
This odor, however, has not
benefited only the Monarchs.

The Badlands project is
part of the Park Service's
"Mission 66" program to re
habilitate America's national
parks and monuments.
Restore Native Animal
Ranger James Godbolt ex
plained that the government
wants to restore native ani-
j mal life to its original state
at Badlands.
By 1960, when the program
is scheduled to start, virtually
all private activities within
the- 19 -year -old monument
will be terminated. Permits
now held by 32 ranchers for
the grass season grazing . of
cattle will be cancelled and
homesteads of the few re
maining settlers will be re
turned to the government
through negotiated purchase
or land exchange.
Godbolt said that buffalo
to populate the Badlands
would be brought there from
herds in other parks, where
there are too many of them
in some cases.
Flourished Once
"They flourished here
once," he explained, "so they
should thrive again."
Mountain sheep will be
transplanted to "Sheep Moun
tain" at the western corner
of the monument. Muletail
and whitetail deer and ante
lope, already well represent
ed, will be encouraged to
increase through improve
ment of their grazing condi
tions. Godbolt said that kit fox,
a slight, nocturnal prowler,
as well as black footed ferret,
would be brought back to con
trol the rodents, such as prai
rie dogs, from getting out of
hand.
Other small animals al
ready living in the Badlands
include badger, skunk, ra
coon, wildcat, coyote, bobcat,
chipmunks and various va
rieties of mice.
Godbolt said the Park Serv
ice hopes to build a wildlife
road so tourists can get a first
hand look at the animals.
The Badlands Monument,
created on Jan! 25, 1939, em
braces a 40-mile long strip
along the White river and
ranges from two to 10 miles
in width.
Room Can Be Aired,
Soundproofed Now
Chicago (UPD Researchers
revealed they found a way to
air and soundproof a room in
one operation.
The quiet - and - ventilation
principle was created at Il
linois Institute of Technology
by forcing air through the
holes in regulation acoustical
ceiling.
The flow of air actually en
hances the soundproofing by
creating resistance to noise
and absorbing it.
A project set up at ITT's
Armour Research foundation
to study the acoustical resist
ance from the airflow stems

It has also benefited other
butterflies that have been
able to imitate their appear
ance, namely one called the
Viceroy. v
The phenomenon of imita
tion is known to scientists as
"mimicry." It is not to be
confused with "protective re
semblance" taking on a pro
tective coloration, as of a
leaf. Instead, mimicry con
sists of assuming certain as
pects of a -creature that is
feared or disliked by its ene
mies. Some people maintain that
mimicry this case indicates
intelligence. The more likely
explanation is that birds and
other predators that relish
the succulent members of the
butterfly family to which the
Viceroy belongs have avoided
those Viceroys that most
closely resemble the Mon
arch. Having been disgusted
by the unpleasant odor of the
Monarch they seized in their
early yoyth, they have hence
forth avoided butterflies that
looked like them.
As a result, those Viceroys.
fortunate enough to have that ;
protective resemblance, have j
been -able to multiply with
fair success.
