TREES PLANTED Some of the first plant ings of Modesto ash, a small shade tree chosen by the Medford Street Tree com mittee for Barnett rd.. were made recently by residents of the area. The picture above shows members of the Ascension Lutheran church, 2501 Barnelt rd., as they planted one of several along the church frontage. The trees will eventually extend up and down both sides of Barnett rd. at 50-foot intervals, in rows 39-feet from the center to allow for the possibility of widening the road in the future. Adults above are, (eft to right, Paul Jorgehson, the Rev. Elvin Tollefson, pastor of the Ascension Luthern church, and Chuck Swenson. The children are Scott and Gary Jorgenson and Dave and Chuck Swenson. Belligerent Youth Subdued by Police; Hostage Unharmed Pulaski, Va.-UPD-A belliger ent teen-ager who barricaded himself in his father-in-law's home for 31 hours with a 10-year-old girl hostage was cap tured screaming Tuesday night during a tear gas bar rage. The girl was found unharm ed. Jack Jennings, 18, an un employed mill hand, driven from the house by the tear gas, was beaten into submis sion by police when he rushed out screaming and fighting. His hostage ran from the house ahead of Jennings. She was examined by a doctor and then taken to her anxious parents. Taken to Hospital Officers seized Jennings by the collar and the seat of his pants and pushed him, his face cut and bleeding, into a police car where he was strap ped in a straight jacket. He was driven directly to the southwestern State Mental Hosiptal at Marion, Va. ' The long siege began about 4 p.m. Monday after Jennings broke away from officers tak ing him to jail following a preliminary hearing on auto theft charges. He grabbed his young sister-in-law, Barbara Butts, and barricaded himself in the home of his father-in-law, C. W. Butts. When police surrounded the modest brick home in this quiet southwest Virginia town of 12,000, Jennings, armed with a shotgun and a rifle. threatened to "die young and go out with a big blast." Vows to Kill Cops Jennings vowed to "kill me a couple of cops" and later fired an arrow through a win attached threatening to rape dow of the house with a note the young girl. Police delayed use of force to get the trigger-happy youth to come out because they feared he would harm the girl. But jittery officers, tired of waiting and listening to the threats - and curses of the young tough with a duck tailed haircut, fired eight or nine tear gas shells through the window of the house and the tense drama came to an abrupt end. Jennings blamed his troub les on his father-in-law and his wife, Sandra, a 16-year-old high school student who he said bitterly was "always away at night." He said he had "a very low opinion" of his wife because she never did anything for him and never ironed his shirts.

The fol lowing comments on trees, particularly those adapta ble to street use in Medford, have been prepared by John Gribble, well - known re tired forester, and will be run in a series during the 'tree planting season" here, sow under way.) A sign on a tree, "Some thing marvelous is going on here," would cause most of us to stop, look and listen. Such a sign is on every tree, inviting us to observe. The more we recognize the sign, the more fascinating and pleasing will be our observa tions. Some spectacular attraction-: come and go with the seasons. Midwinter growing of male pollinating catkins on some trees and early spring show ing of red, black, brown tip ped fruitbuds are attractive. Trees have an identifying charactrcistic for each of our five senses, some are most pleasing-flowering, fragrance, artistic leaf and bark forms and colorings; each tree with its individual shape and growth, and each for man's special use. Oak for the ship's knees, tall straight conifers for masts, enabled man to navigate the seas. The Ash, partial to colors, red, white, blue, black, green, mane man's tool handles, paddles, baseball bats, skis, bows and arrows, even a good broom. Ash leaflets are set opposite, in pairs, along a central stem.
