Brown Foliage Not
Necessarily Disease
To courageous people, handi­
cap need not mean helpless
Proof : some 366 people with
handicaps of all sorts are cur­
rently attending Portland Com­
munity College, learning new
skills and enriching their lives
One of these is Mrs Lorrain
Cline, 55, for many years a
victim of multiple sclerosis She
hus never allowed her progres­
sive incapacities to keep her
from the main stream of life, but
has maintained a "business as
usual" attitude
Mrs Cline spent ten years as a
Girl Scout leader and three
years on the Easter Seal board.
She organized and headed the
largest volunteer recreational
organization in Washington and
has worked constantly for the
benefit of people with problems
similar to her own.
An avid swimmer, Mrs Cline
has logged X56 swimming miles
since she took to her wheelchair
and won a 56-mile swimming
trophy. In addition, she has
taught hydro gymnastics, pool
side ballet, and adaptive aqua
tics She would like to become
involved in some such program
at PCC
Pines, arborvitae. and other
evergreen are showing more
than the normal amount of
brown foliuge and it is not
caused by insects or disease
Reports from Wilbur W Burk
hart, Area Extension Agent,
show complaints to run high
from all parts of Western Ore
gon Examination in the field
and laboratory show no disease
or insects but reveal hidden
damage of the type associated
with severe winters followed by
dry periods in the summer.
Plant pathologists attribute in
creased browning to normal
shedding of interior foliage in­
activated by new growth ex­
cluding light Shortly after fo­
liage ceases to function in the
fixxi manufacturing process, it
starts to die bv turning yellow
When entirely brown, it dries
and awaits heavy rains and wind
to break it from the plant Winter
injury triggered the increase by
causing small invisible cracks in
the bark of the foliage outermost
on the shrub at that time Early
spring growth was normal and in
some cases more extensive be
cause of favorable weather con­
ditions It is the partially co­
vered older growth now ob­
served to be in the process of
dying and dropping
