Of making arches, beams, rafters,
and other wood mem'bers of large
sise or pleasing architectural
enrratures by gluing together
smali-sized boards. Since the
erection of the first glued lami
nated building in the United
States a* the Laboratory back In
1931. more than a hundred and
fifty other structures, ranging
from small barns to, massive au
ditoriums and churches have
been built in various pait-s of the
counto’. The use of thU kind of
construction does away with
posts, leaving a greater unob
structed floor space, while hav
ing the strength of solid limbers
that would require bracing.
A striking test of the practica
bility of this method of construc
tion was shown recently on an
Illinois farm, whe-e a local car
penter and helpers erected a barn
with continuous laminated raft
ers and studding, bending and
gluing the pieces to shape be
tween stakes driven in the
ground.
By the use of laminated con-
gtruction. not only a broad open
expanse of floor .space is avail
able. hut low-grade and short
pieces of wood are employed
which help reduce the annual
wood waste. Thin, dry layers of
boards also do away with season
ing problem.s and archite»'tural
effects are gained with wood that
are not possible otherwise.

.1900, this little twelve-yd ir-oW
boy wrote in his diary, ‘‘I have
decided to be the first man to
reach the North Pole.”
Many years later, thf boy who
wrote that decision -n his diary
actually did reach the pole. In
fact, he was the first man ever to
fly over the North Pole, and he
was also the first man ever to
fly over the South Pole. His
name, of course, is Richard Eve
lyn Byrd.
Commander Byrd declares that
the mighty ice fields in the South
Polar regions are slowly receding,
and he believes lhii,t, some day,
millions of acres of land, now
smothered beneath slow, grinding
glaciers, may prove to be extreme
ly valuable: and .so he is determ
ined to plant the Stars and Stripes
on that land and claim it forever
in the name of the United States
government.
Byrd’s life is an inspiring illus
tration of a boy who had .an un
dying ambition to do big things
and who did them in spite of in
numerable obs*! icies.
First, he wanted to travel and
see stran.ge lands. And by the
time he was fourteen years of age
he had traveled ail the way ’round
the world—and he had done it all
by himself. He came back home,
land went to college: and in col-, ocean,
lege, he devoted a lot of time to
box' ig, wrestling and football.
In doing so, he broke a bone in
his foot, crushed his ankle and
made himself so lame that the
Government retired him from the
Navy at twenty-eight years of
age as physically unfit for seiwice.
He said a min didn't have to
stand up to fly a plane; he could
do that sitting down. He could
do that ever, if he did have a lame
foot and a broken ankle. So he
started out to become an aviator
another plane headon.
’Thirating for aerial adventoref
he longed to fly over the frozen
wastes of the North, where men
had never flown before, but at ev
ery turn he was refused and re
buffed. For example:
First, he planned to fly north
in the huge dirigible, the “Shen
andoah”: (but the ‘‘Shenandoah’'
went up for a test flight and
crashed. Then he pleaded with
the government to allow him to
'make test flights in order to fit a
plane for crossing the Atlantic;
but the government wouldn’t let
him command the test flights be
cause of his bad foot.
Next, he begged the govern
ment to allow him to pilot one of
the planes in which Amundsen
planned to fly across the Arctic
ice; and again he was refused,
this time because he was married.
And then, on top of all these bit
ter disappointments, he was re
tired from the navy a second time
—retired 'again because he had a
bad foot.
Of course, he may have been
wrong, but Dick Byrd had the
funny idea that initiative and
courage and brains were more im
portant than good feet. So he
went out and got private parties
to finance his expeditions, and
then he set tnbout doing things
that startled the world.
He flew across the Atlantic
He droppel one American
flag on the North Pole; and then
he turned around and dropped
another American flag on the
South Pole; and when he return
ed to his native land, two million
excited people gave him lan ova
tion such as Rome never paid to
Julius Caesar even when his char
iots returned in triumph over
Pompey’s blood.
And finally, the United States

Scorch of' 6tran*err e».” and’
is avaliable free upon request
the Agrlcnltnral tJdltor qt State
Coilege, Raleigh.
One of the diseases is known
as Common Leaf Spot, but some
times is cB»:jd "Rust” er “Bird’s
Eye Spot.’’ It appears on the
Leaves in the fomn of spots with
a reddish or purplish tint, bat as
they increase In size the center of
each spot 'becomes paler, and fin
ally gray or almost white.
Scorch appears on the leaves as
mlntue purplish discolorations on
the upper surface. ’They enlarge
rapidly and become brownish
Lesions on fruit and leaf stems
are similar in appearance and can
be recognized by the presence of
elongated, sunken reddish areas
or streaks. The most serious man
ifestation of scorch is that on
the caly or "cap” of the fruit.
This is evident when the straw
berry begins to turn brown In
irregular areas anci eventually
dies.
Dr. Shaw lists ihe three con
trol methods for both of these
disea,ses as: (1) sanitation, (2)
transplanting leaf spot and
scorch-free plants or dipping the
plants, and (3) spraying. He says
straw.berry plants sprayed with
Bordeaux Mixture In test plots of
infected areas yielded 62 twenty-
four quart crates more than un
sprayed plants.
