OFFICE SUPPLIES PRINTING Douglass, forestry specialist for the N. C. Agricultural Extension Serv ice, is to plant windbreakers of pine. Windbreaks of pine have shewn remarkable effect in reducing dust within six to eight years after planting, Douglass said. For best results, three rows of pines should be set 8 to 10 feet apart. The trees should be placed 8 to 10 feet apart in the row. Windbreaks should be placed 500 feet apart and crosswise to the wind direction. For tighter windbreak, a row of cedar can be planted on the windward side. Cedars have green limbs near the ground, while pines drop their lower limbs as they grow. Lioblolly is considered the best pine for a windbreak, even on light soils, because it has more needles than the slash or longleaf pine.

These are veteran-patients whose brain injury from wounds, strokes, or other disease has made them unable to coordinate their think ing or associate words with the ob jects for \>diich the word,s stand. Slowly and patiently they must he taught to associate words with things and form sentences to ex press meaning. , After receiving special training at VA hospitals, housewives, retired military and businessmen, and oth er volunteers from the community help the disabled veterans, whose condition is known as aphasia, prac tice speech each day. Working under the guidance of specialists in speech, along with the physician and psychologist, the vol unteer holds a card with a word printed on it in front of the pa tient. “This is something you find in the winter,’’ the volunteer may say. “What is it?’’ “S-s-s,” the veteran replies, try ing to form a word, “S snow.” At some VA hospitals, a special machine that plays a sound tape on cards is used in speech therapy for patients with aphasia. It shows a picture of an object, speaks its name, and shows the word to the patient on a card simultaneously. The patient repeats the individual word as clearly as he can and the volunteer listens to his pronuncia tion and helps him correct it as needed. Thus through practice and repeti tion, many VA aphasia patients are helped to overcome their disability. VA doctors feel volunteers make a valuable contribution in such* speech therapy, not only through the actual mechanics of practictog speech but through their person alities which help patients re]jix and bring out their best efforts. duced a heavy eariy yield of attrac tive fruits.
