UnvdUng Is Ready
Mother Nature Is about to be
gin her annual coloring of leaves
in much of North America.
Fall foliage in an area broadly
ranging from Canada's Maritime
Provinces to theOsarks and from
the Great Smokies to the Rockies
creates a spectacular color dis
play unparalleled anywhere In thej
world.
The annual leaf-changing show
is a virtuoso performance that
only Nature could produce, the
national Geographic Society
ays.
Conditions Must Be Right
This eye-catching ' pageant in
full color is at its best in por
tions of the United States and
Canada because those areas have
just the right combination of tree
types, climate, and weather.
An essential ingredient is a
great variety of deciduous trees,
the kind whose broad leaves turn
color and drop in autumn. The
majority of these are hardwoods,
and they are most abundant in
North America,
The coloration process works
best where there is real Indian
summer - clear, bright days and
moderately cool nights In proper
proportion.
Seduced daylight hours, not
drops in temperature, set off
the changes in leaves. The
shortening of the days signals a
tree to slow down its growth and
enter a dormant period.
The roots respond by cur
tailing the flow of sap a com
bination of water and nutrients
to file leaves, which slowly lose
their firm connection with the
twigs and branches.
At the same time, things begin
happening to chlorophyll, the
green pigment in leaves. No
longer renewed by the tree's
circulation, It begins to decom
pose and bleach away.
Then pigments the chlorophyll
has hidden can be seen and have
their brief period of glory.
Yellow and orange leaves get
their color from two pigments,
carotene and xanthophyll. Reds
and' purples are produced by a
group of pigments called an-
thocyanlns. Combinations of
these agents bring aboutvarle
gated hues In a single tree.
Ever-changing Patterns

WASHINGTON The sl. week j
.Senate debate on military pro-)
curement policies aired most of
the criticisms about our weapons
systems before the 1970 authori
sations bill was cleared last
week,;-V;-'.;.'";''
The debate, which began on
July 8th, ranged over most of our
military hardware, including the
anti-ballistic missile system, the
nuclear-powered aircraft car
rier, and the F-M fighter and
C-5A troop transport planes. On
final passage, most of the Senate
Armed Services Committee re
commendations authoriclngtbese
weapons were intact, but the de
bate made it likely that military
programs will receive a more
critical review than in the imme
diate past.
Much of the criticism of the
military spending requests stems
from a deep, concern over the .
progress of the Vietnam War and
our failure to conclude that con
flict. This Is understandable, for
most Americans would like noth
ing better than find some way to
reduce defense costs. In the de
bate over this bill, however, this
frustration was translated into
many amendments which, if they
had been accepted, would "have
scrapped some of the best wea
pons our research has developed.
Fortunately, this did not happen.
The argument was made time
and again during this debate that
there ought to be a cheaper way
to defend ourselves. The fact is
that the Senate Armed Services
Committee, of which I am a mem
ber, reduced the original author
ization request by $3 million, and
concluded that the weapons it re
commended were essential to the
national security of this nation.
While we may long for lessen
ed military expenditures, our
nation faces the reality that we
have agreed to defend mostof the
free world in the two decades
since 'World War D. We have
signed treaties to defend some
42 nations, and we have made
agreements whereby we main
tain military Installations in 3
other nations. As a consequence,
we now maintain 429 major bases
and 2,972 minor bases throughout
the free world.
The military hardware author
iced by the defense procurement
bill is in response to these com
mitments. I think that there Is
need for us to undertake a re
view of our military position
daily as autumn progresses. Reds
and purples turn' to bronzes as
bright pigments blend with the
browns of dying leaves.
Finally, most of the leaves
reach the ground, either falling
of their own weight or losing
their slight hold in a breeze.
In most areas they either re
main on the ground and decay or
are hauled off. In others, field
and laboratory tests by U. S.
Geological Survey scientists sug
gest, leaves may create a lo
calised water pollution problem
when they fall into drinking-water
sources and decompose.
throughout the world and to Judge
our ability to defend ourselves
as conditions change.Someof our
military obligations were incur
red during a time when particu
lar nations had few resources
and were practically defenseless.
Now many of these same nations
have a strong economy and are
able to assume more of the obli
gation to defend themselves. This
is particularly true with respect
to Western Europe, r
Likewise, In Asia,oncewe have
concluded the Vietnam War, we
shall have to decide what our de
fense needs should be to protect
our vital interests In that area.

Good Hunting!
It's That Time of the Tear Again.
The men and the boys are taking to the
fields and woods . . sort of hawks looking
for doves.
Since doves sometimes perch on overhead
telephone cables, and since shotgun pellets or
rifle slugs can destroy these cables causing .
much inconvenience to customers and costly
repair time we make this plea to all sports- -p
men:
PLEASE, do not fire your weapon at
birds sitting, on aerial 1 i n e a. Be a Real
Sport and shoot them on the wing.
Thanks, and let's keep in touch!

: As has been mentioned In our last lesson, Solomon's reign
marked great progress in the story of Israel's nattonal life,
and has often been referred to as Israel's Golden Age.
v : David had delivered Israel from her enemies on every
side. His son, Solomon, by bis own attributes as builder,
trader and administrator, was to bring her to respected
recognition by the nations of her day and time. Jesus,
.himself, spoke of "Solomon in all hit glory" (Matt, 6:29, .
However, towards the end of his reign, Solomon permitted,
materialism and Idolatry to enter into Israel's life, and -so
disrupted the spiritual national Ufa of the people. All
of which brings to our attention forcibly, once again, that 1
continuing obedience to the laws and commandments of God '
Is essential for a full and fruitful national Ufa for any
country ,,, and for any single Individual. 4 r
Solomon, in the early part of his reign, prayed to God
for an understanding heart, above all, and this la, In some
measure, the staturs of the man. Indeed, there are many
proverbs and psalm in the Bible which are attributed to '
him ... all et -which express s tenner and sensitive soul,
and an awareness of God's blessings. He was, indeed, a
man who saw with his heart, as well as his eyes, who heard
; with his mind and soul, as wtl i. itn his e"s, ' y
' . He was astute; under his rule the people knew s higher
- standard of living than they had ever knows before, not
a small part of which was due to improved agricultural
methods, the ItavalMimahC nf tha natural nra mlnaa ahlRh .
were in their territorial boundaries, the r a' sing and trading
of spirited horaes, the fleet of ships which were built under:
Solomon's' jurisdiction, and which sailed the aeas, bringing
many precious cargoes to the nation,.whleh attmulated the
Israelite economy atlll further. .
. However, Solomon's trade pacts with other countries, m
haa been mentioned before, orten resulted In the tcH-g of x
foreign wives, as token of good faith, and these, with
their own worship of heathen Idols, played a great part In
Solomon's downfall. For, once agaln,ldolatrywaaeatabllsh- .

Solomon into accounting for his Idolatry, v : s ? . . " i
