If the fund is reached, the following advantages accrue to both the “giver" and the ‘•receiver" ill Many worth while organi zations which would not he capa ble of conducting their own drives, are able to receive monies to continue their work. (2) The need of many individ ual drives is eliminated, thus a voiding duplication of effort and the bother of "someone always at your door."

A summer convention is held each year in Raleigh and the Kings Mountain club plans to . semi delegates to the meeting. Recently I received a Jotter from a prominent nurseryman in the Greenaboro aroa requesting information about the •'Marine” pint-. I was not familiar with this species so 1 consulted a friend and co-worker. Professor Walter M. Keller, in the School of For estry. He very kindly supplied rather complete inf irmation and I am passing it along to my readers because I found it Inter esting. too. Somewhere along the line the nurseryman has confused the name*’ What he referred to was Maritime pine, Pinus pinealra. instead of "Marine" pine. Tile Maritime pine is sometimes also referred to as "cluster pine." The Maritime pine I* a native of the Mediterranean region It is distinguished from other spe cies by thick, deeply fissured, reddish bark and by long stout leaves. |*ersistent i-ones and long, stout, winter buds. The cones are securely attached and may re main on the tree for several years before dropping. The needles are in pairs, stout, slightly curved and five to six inches long. They have sharp points on the tips of the needles. In appearance, the Maritime pine most closely resembles Scotch and Austrian pines. The wood of the tree is quite hard, coarse grained and highly resinous. It Is tapped for resin ]ust as the Longleaf and Slash pines are topped for this product in south Georgia and northern Florida. In w»*stern Europe this species is the one on which the naval store’s industry is dependent The Maritime pine thrives best on light sandy soils which are <k*ep. Few trees give better re sults on sea sands and dunes. An other important characteristic of this tree is the fact that it is highly resisant to salt spray. For this reason it is receiving consid eration for planting In the coast al areas of North Carolina. The tree is not too hardy and will not succeed in colder re gions. It is reported not to be a dapted to day soils. However, no information is available on how far inland the tree might be planted and still he expected to thrive and do well. Within the natural range for this species, the tree will grow to The Veterans i Comer I | EDITORS NOTE: Below are , ) authoritative answers by the Vet I erans Administration to some of I the many current questions from 1 former servicemen and their ' families.
