Natural Beauty Is Unfairly
Destroyed for Billboards
Many people driving along
the highway wondered why
the group of men were cut
ting down the tree. There
seemed no reason for it, as It
stood some distance from the
edge of the highway, and at
the extreme front of a vacant
area. It was a beautiful tree,
all of 60 feet high with a
wide spreading crown.
Because of its ideal posi
tion, it had never been muti
lated by utility companies.
Most of the observing passers
by who noticed the tree and
the workmen, assumed the
tree was being removed be
cause of a proposed building
on the vacant lot behind it.
Yet this seemed ridiculous,
the tree's presence in that
particular spot would have
been beneficial to any prop
erty for the welcome shade It
would have afforded,
Branches First '
Those that regularly trav
eled the highway watched the
daily progress .of the tree's
destruction from day to day
First, the great horizontal
branches were removed, then
the smaller limbs. As fast as
they struck the ground,
crew ot men sawed them Into
short lengths; trucks hauled
them away.
The removal of the great
slump occupied Die work of
several men for three days,
This stump was a massive
thing, the severed part Just
above the roots was over
three feet In diameter. It took
a powerful derrick to lift it
onto a low bodied truck.
During the time the tree
butchers were at work, an
other group of men were busy
digging holes and setting In
a series of six, tall telephone
poles, each pole 10 feel from
its neighbor, and all in a row.
Probably few of the motor
ists that traveled the Midway
took any notice ot the tail
poles; all were watching the
destruction of the tree.
Th Answer
Witli the tree gone the vista
opened up, suddenly the rea
son for the poles and the cllm
lnation of the tree became
apparent. A great, glaring
billboard was being erected;
for this, the tree was being
destroyed.
It is impossible to know
how many people - millions
probably over a period of a
little time, consciously or sub
consciously admired that
tree. Now beauty has been
replaced by ugliness; greedy
commercialism has destroyed
that which was beautiful.
'Progress" someone will
yelp, but the fact remains,
this raw ugliness Is accepted
vandalism, depressed to its
lowest depths.
Blots Beauty
"The highways are happy
ways was a slogan we were
all justifiably proud of. Trees
along those highways added
considerably to their charm,
they were a part of an Ameri
ca we were proud of. But any
billboard anywhere, whatever
It Is advertising, is an eye
sore, a blot on the beauty of
the outdoors, a menace to the
driver that attempts to read
the message whilo he is
driving, and an obstruction to
what a scenic beauty may be
there, or in the distance.
No message any of them
could possibly give, is worth
what was destroyed to allow
lor their presence. Every one
in lis way, detracts from what
we would like to still believe
Is, "America the Beautiful.

Excessive, Habitual Drinkers
Pay for it by Dying Sooner
By DELOS SMITH
UPI Selene Editor
New York - OIPIl - It now
him heon demonstrated with
hard figures that those who
Hrink excessively and habit
ually pay for it by dying
sooner than they would have
otherwise.
Munv oeonle have always
believed it but usually they're
not alcoholic. Heretofore
mathematical proof - or dis
proof - has been lacking. Vi
tal statistics do not say wheth
er their subjects were alco
holic or non-alcoholic.
Mlrhlkn Taxh ro. a statisti
cian, and Dr. Wendell R. Lip
smmh had the makings for
such an unique set of figures
in the records ot tne uamor
nia State Alcoholic Rehabili
tation Drcnnization. Thev are
members of Its scientific staff.
Living and Dead
Tn Its four alcohol sm treat
ment centers 1,692 men and
women were admitted In a
three-year period beginning
In 1054. Tashlro and Lips
comb checked back on them
ill anri scnaratcd the nresent-
ly living from the dead.
This gave them two sets of
statistics, a survival table and
a mortality table. These they
compared to the same tables
for the California population
as a whole, making proper
statistical and adjustments for
age, sex and race in order to
get mathematically precise
comparisons.
For the five year period un
der consideration, the heavy
drinkers survived only 91 per
cent as well as their opposite
numbers in the general popu
lation, demonstrating, the sc-
entists said, that "alcoholics
do not live as many years" as
they mililu.
Death Rales Compared
To verify this, they com
pared mortality tables. The
average annual death rate of
the alcoholics figured out to
26 per 1,000. In the general
population the rale was 11
per 1,000. Thus, the death rate
among alcoholics was almost
2Va to 1.
As to the causes of death,
24 per cent of the alcoholics
died of violence accidents and
suicides and for the general
population violent deaths

Ken R, - My wife's cous

world's worst bores. He made
his pile in real estate before
he was 40 and all he does
now Is travel around, bother

Viola R. - Ken can road
and rest any time. These
cousins are great fun they
have been all over the world
and are now cn route to Maine
for the summer. We're the
only New York relations and
they count on us to plun their
stops. Ken seems to hold it
against them that they have
money, but they spend it in
stead of hoarding, and the
world needs people like that.

be earned and it must be part
of a plan, else how does one
differ from a toy poodle? To
most ol us leisure time ar
rives In its De Luxe form
at late middle age, with re
tirement as the dessert in

cousin hit the jackpot in his
youth, and his dilettante way

Scholarslip Awarded

amounted to 9 per cent. The
next most common cause of
death In alcoholics was heart
disease, 23 per cent. Then
came cirrhosis of the liver, 14
per cent. The comparable per
centages for the general pop
ulation was 4 and 3.
Tashiro and Lipscomb were
struck by how hard it had
been to ascertain the actual
cause of death in most of the
124 deceased alcoholics. The
autopsy rate reached 73 per
cent compared to 34 per cent
in the general population and
they reminded that autopsies
usually are performed when
there is some doubt as to the
cause of death.
This could only mean "the
morbid conditions of the alco
holics were frequently so
complex that the cause of
death was difficult to deter
mine," they said in their re
port to the Center for Alcohol
Studies at Rutgers Univer
sity, New Brunswick, N. J.
