L the name of 7jaOMo<* Knife
Peak to Mount Griggs. The action
honors Dr. Robert F. Griggs, the
(inter George Washington Univer
sity botanist who led ?U expedi
tions to Katmai four decides ago.
Dr Griggs named many promin

who helped make the explorations

b' 2'. Griggs' earty exp^Wa* so
. nrpssed president Woodrow
Wilson that he created the Katmai
National Monument in IMS. In his
proclamation. President Wilson de
clared. "This wonderland may be
^Tof popular scenic, as well as
scientific, interest for generations
to come, inasmuch as all its phe
nomena exist upon a scale of great
magnitude, arousing emotions of
wonder at the inspiring spectaclos.
,-hus affording inspiration to patriot
ism and to the study of nature.
President Wilson's prediction is
at last coming true. Seaplanes now
ferry guests to the area's blue
mountain lakes. Katmai this sum
mer is attracting thousands of vis- 1
Hors. Sprawling over 2.697.590 acres
of southern Alaska's Aleutian
Range, it is more than twice the
size of Delaware. f
Before 1902, Americans were!
hardly aware of Katmai s existence
It was known to a few ship pilots
- navigating the unfrequented Shelik
I 0f strait between Kodiak Island and
; the Alaskan mainland.
Katmai sprang into prominence
- in June, 1912, when a volcano in the
I region erupted. Volcanic ash fell
- over all of northwestern America. ;
- The National Geographic Society,
: In cooperation with the United Stat
es Geological Survey, sent out a
- reconnaissance expedition that same
. year. Three years later Dr. Griggs
began his exhaustive survey of the
territory and the effects of a blast
surpassed only by Krakatau in 1883.
"If such an explosion should oc
cur in Manhattan Island." Dr.
Griggs reported, "the column of
steam would be conspicuous as far
as Albany. The sounds of the ex
plosions would be plainly audible in
Chicago. The fumes would sweep
over all the States east of the
Docky Mountains. In Denver they
would tarnish exposed brass, and
even linen hung out on the line to
dry would be so eaten by the sul
phuric acid content as to fall to
pieces on the ironing board. As
far away as Tronto the acid rain
drops would cause stinging burns
wherever they fell on face or
hands."
But when the Katmai Volcano ex
ploded. not a single person perish
ed. The few Indian and Eskimo res
idents ? taking warning from earth
quakes and rumblings ? had depart
. ed.
Dr. Griggs found the explosion had
- created a Valley of Ten Thousand
r Smokes, filled with volcanic vents

The honor for Dr. Griggs follows

Board of Trustees, and editor of its
Magazine for 55 years. Dr. Gros
venor had long felt that recognition
i should be given to Dr. Griggs.
In 1954 Dr. and Mrs. Grosvenor
sppent several days at Katma,
studying the terrain with that idea
in mind. Beautiful Knife Peak sug
gested itself because of its prom
inence: it is not knifelike but round;
and it does not bear the name of
an indivdual who night be offended
by the change. I
The petition for changing the
name was presented to the Board
on Geographic Names by Admiral
H. Arnold Karo, director of the
United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey. It was supported by Alaska
Governor William Egan and Sena
tors Ernest Gruening and E. L.
Bartlett; George Crossette, the
National Geographic Society's chief
of geographic research, and Conrad
Wirth,. director of the National
Park Service.
Following the Board's approval.
Dr. Grosvenor sent a telegram of
congratulations to Dr. Griggs, now
living in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. In
I a letter, he toljy^e veteran explor
| er that, "AU on the National Geo
graphic Society staff are delighted
that this most beautiful mountain
in the scene of your great explora
| tions will hereafter be known as
Mount Griggs."
"When traveling in comfort
around the Katmai area and view
ing it en a two and a half hocr
flight in 1954." Dr. Grosvenor re
called, "I appreciated the fearful
handicaps you experienced and
ovcrcamc in discovering and de
scribing to the world this region of
awe-inspirng mountans, lakes, and
valleys."
Dr. Griggs was born in Brooklyn,
Connecticut, on August 22, 1881. He
was graduated from Ohio State
University in 1903 and received his
doctorate from Harvard in 1911. He
was assistant professor of biology
at Ohio State University from
1906 to 1921 and professor of biology
at George Washington from 1921 to
1947. Since .1947 he has been pro
fessor of biology at the University

PLASTIC DISHES-Most plastic
dishes available today are made of
melamine plastic which may be
safely wasl)ed in an automatic dish
washer. Thermosplastics, however,
are not safe in the dishwasher.
Here's a quick test to check which
type of plastic you have. Strike a
match, hold the flame to the un
derside of the dish for a few sec
onds. If it is melamine, there will

GARDEN TIME i
This Is about the Mttlebug. You
never heard a I H? Weil, you want
to keep your ?yw opes if you have
hoWes, Md most of us do.
It came to my attention last sum
mer bee? as K completely defol
iated some of my Bigleaf Japanese
Hollies (Hex creaata rotundifolia)
while we were away. 1 discovered
the insect again last week woridng
on an American Holly (He* opa
ca). I noticed a tender terminal
shoot that was wilting and the young
leaves becoming distorted and dis
colored. The necessary precautions
were taken before serious damage
occurred. I
The Spittlebug is about six to
seven-sixteenths of an inch in
length, oval in shape- dark to al
most black-brown, with two narrow
orange bands on the wings. From
this description it may be easily
identified. This insect feeds on
shoots and leaves of various shrubs
by sucking uices from the cells.
Young twigs and leaves are injured
by their feeding punctures.
The eggs are laid on grass stems
in damp places and the young
nymphs from frothy masses at the
base of stems at ground level. Here
they feed on uices from the grass,
shed their grins and emerge as
fully developed insects.
Fortunately, the Spittlebug is not
difficult to control but you may have
to spay or dust at intervals for com
plete control. One per cent Rote
none dust is effective, safe and easy
to apply. If you have DDT on hand,
use the five per cent dust. If you
prefer to spray, use Yt pound of
DDT wettable power to l2Vt gallons
of water. Reduce for smaller
amounts.
Keep roses mulched, watered and
sprayed every two weeks with a
combination insecticidal and fungi
cidal spray. For early blight and
late blight on tomatoes and Irish
Potatoes use one of the fixed cop
per compounds Manzate or Dithane
M-22.
FARM QUESTIONS
QUESTION: Is the summer a
good time to have soil tested?
ANSWER: It is one of the best
times of the year. In the summer
the Division of Soil Testing of the
N. C. Department of Agriculture
can give more prompt service. Dur
ing the fall planting season, and
Just before, the Division Is flooded
with samples and service is neces
sarily delayed somewhat. A second
benefit of summer soil testing is
that you have plenty of time to
carefully study and plan your ferti
lizer and liming program.
