\nrth-l"n:,mi?a .fia^intr^l iir
Senate a bill which would extent
-?.p ? of - the existing l?w which
vides for the making of pilgrim
to the cemeteries of Europe by
star mothers and widows, at tht
pense of the government.
Senator Simmons* amendmen
the law proposed at this seksio
Fongress, it having been previc
found that the original law excl
from its benefits those widows
mothers of deceased American v
ahs buried abroad who bad he
fore made any pilgrimage to the
Tign cemetery. Senator Simmon
a member ol" the Senate Fin
Committee, which has charge of
relating to benefits for veterans
their families, was engaged act
supporting the pending amendn
which would wipe out that disci
nation and enable all gold star n
ers and widows to make the pilg
age provided by the government
It then came to the attentio:
Senator Simmons that the bill,
as it was proposed to amend it.
contained one glaring omission
tl.-.t n/\ ...... i- -
iiv uiLaiiKClllVIll' Was UlClUOf;
it that would extend the benefit
the pilgrimage to the mothers or
ows of those stalwart American
zens who did not, as it were, a
f their country's taking up of
gauge of battle, but instead, i
were. anticipated their conn
cause by joining the forces of t
countries which later came nui
. and in that service of what 1
became country's cause in deed
in fact lost their lives before A
ica's declaration of war.
A conspicuous example of t
gold star mothers and widows
omitted from the provisions of
law is the case of Dr. Loula A. R
well. Asheville, mother of the fan
Kiffirs Yates Rockwell, who gave
life for his country's cause evei
advance of his country's entrance,
to the conflict.
Accordingly. Senator Simmons
nared a further amendment to
law. which was introduced in
Senate today. The Senator's am
ment introduced today would ex!
the provisions of the law to
mothers and widows of such foi
service men.

T "VERY LATESTS
By MARY MARSHALL
To the young woman who eont
plates making some of her <
clothes the best advice that can
given is this: "Specialize." Don't
1 ?
tempt to make an evening dress,
P a separate skirt, and a blouse
a few articles of lingerie. At !<
don't attempt to do all these th
to start with. A different techn
is required in the making of
various sorts of clothes and you
get better results-if you plan to n
several blouses, or several sil
house dresses to start with.
This year there is need in
wardrobe of every woman of a
riety of different blouses and a
tinct saving can be achieved if
make these yourself. The iower sk
shows one of the new spring bio
designed by an important Fr<
dressmaker.
To wear with a brown suit I
as the one of flat crepe shown in
natural color pongee. It might
be effectively made from oj
white silk. Two shades of blue or
shades of green would be a goot

green suit or separate skirt.

WHITE PINE SEED TREES
n of WILL REFOREST SLOPES
even ?
still "Yes. I can sec my mistake now."
i, in stated a Caldwell County farmer to
td in County Agent P. M. Hendricks and
s of the Extension Forester, in discussing
wid- the cutting of four white pine seed
eiti- trees; He further said. "It makes me
wait feel ashamed of myself when I think
the that those four trees were worth oniy
is it|about $2.00 each for lumber, and
try's| here you have shown me that bad I
hose left I lie ill ataSil * ng for another teii|
al- or fifteen years they would have
later completely seeded this forty acres of
and | woodland to a good stand of white
inxir-1 pine.
The above statetheirt was made afhose
ter the County Agent and this I armthus
er had inspected a tract of dry ridge
the woodland upon which there was a
ock- growth of mixed hardwood of rather
nous poor type. All of the better trees
his had been cut. A scattering stand of
l in young white pines, ranging in age
? in- from three to fifteen years, was observed.
Not seeing the source from
pve- which the seed had come, an inquiry
the was made. The farmer said. "Why
the I cut a few white pines at the time
end- the other timber was cut." Upon intend
vqsitigation we found the stumps of
the four of these trees which had just
nier reached a g?^od seed-bearing age. and
had apparently borne three crops of
seed at intervals of three to ,five
~ i years.
tEE What this Caldwell farmer did is
being done by hundreds of farmers
ood throughout Western North Carolina.
, The white pine is gradually spreading
over the Mountain and Upper
rom Piedmont sections, and these isolated
fteit- trees scattered through the mixed
less hardwood forests arc just the fore?Po_
runners of thick pine forests?if the
landowners will recoernize the fact
\*sl> anc' protect the in. White pines are
lost growing naturally as far east
tore as 11 "nc running 1\wi,y0 Danbury,
f Vaffiinvjille, Statesville, Hickory to
T ^ ^ Rulhorfordt.on.
c ,w Man should co-operate with nature
by leaving and protecting these seed
trees as fore-runners of progress, and
go further by planting white pines
en wasre or abandoned. fields. c?spefl
riallv on high ridges or other exposed
sites. When such plantings
reach a seed-bearing age the wind
would carry seed to adjacent fields
and forest areas.
em- White pines usually reach the nge
own of 10 to 50 years before they prol^e
duce a good crop of seen. Seen! crops
at- are produced at intervals of three
to seven years, depending upon richness
of the soil, growth and vigor of
the individual trees; as well as upon
climatic conditions. On most sites the
white pine needs some cover for regeneration.
Upon observation, in the
region referred to, you will find many
areas of hardwood in which there is
a good reproduction of white pine
coming in. This applies especially to
the dry ridge sites, which are now
k j occupied b> scarlet or Spanish oak,
? black oak, sourwood. etc. After the
(P pine gets started it should be encouraged
by the gradual removal of
the poorer hardwoods. Farmers can
euuveit urns low-gruue wood into lire
y?.;- wood for home use. By the time the
V nines need the full use of the land,
the better of the large hardwoods will
be ready for harvest as a commercial
crop.
