THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1945
By Boyce House
Usually, we think of poets as
dreamers—but they can be men
of action, too. Rupert Brooke
anticipated his own death in bat-
tle on a foreign field in World
War II and, writing of his grave,
penned, “Think only this of me. .
that there’s a spot that is for-
ever England.”
Joyce Kilmer, who wrote
“Trees,” gave his life in that
war. His battle poem, “Rouge
Bouquet,” is very beautiful.
Alan Seeger foreshadowed his
own going in the poem that be-
gins, “I have a rendezvous with
death.”
And the stirring lyric, “In
Flanders Field,” was written by
Col. McCrae of the Canadian
Army ony a short time before he
fell in battle.
C. L. Douglas, news editor of
the Fort Worth Press, is the auth-
of of several excellent books,
among them “Cattle Kings of
Texas” and “James Bowie.”
It was many years ago when
we first met. A committee of
ministers was waging a campaign
to clean up conditions in Fort
Worth and I was assigned to cov-
er a meeting of the committee,
having joined the news staff of
the Star-Telegram only a short
time before. The session was not
public but I arrived early and
pointed out that the hall outside
was open wide to the bitterly
cold north wind, so the ministers

Q. What is a “Section 10” dis-
charge?
A. A “Section 10“ discharge is an
honorable discharge given for any
number of reasons and popularly
known as “convenience of govern-
ment” discharge. The specific rea-
son for release does not appear and
this information is not available
unless the veteran wishes to dis-
close it. Many disabled veterans re-
ceived a “Section 10“ discharge due
to a misunderstanding of Army
regulations.
XXX
Q. Does the Social Security Act
make any special provisions for
veterans?
A. The Social Security Act pro-
vides for several types of- benefits
which may be available to veterans.
XXX
Q. Is there any opportunity for
a disabled veteran of W’orld War
II to serve other war disabled?
A. The Disabled American Vet-
erans, in cooperation with the U. S.
Veterans’ Administration, is train-
ing a limited number of men as
national service officers. Full de-
tails can be obtained by contacting
any DAV chapter.
XXX
Q. If a veteran has stopped pay-
ing his national service life insur-
ance premiums can the policy be
reinstated? -
A. Yes. As a general rule it can
be reinstated by passing a physical
examination and paying all unpaid
premiums with interest.

CAAF OFFICERS FAIL
TO MAKE CURVE
Four officers from CAAF, trav-
elling at a high rate of speed,
failed to make the curve at the
undei-pass west of Quanah early
Sunday morning and their car
,cut through the border of big
trees, demolishing it and injuring
seriously at least one of the army
men.
Investigating officers said the
driver swerved to go around a
trailer at high speed and never
got off of two wheels again. The
car mowed down four trees over
six inches in thickness at the
trunk.
All the men were treated at
Memorial hospital. Only one of-
icer suffered what might result
in a serious injury of the back.

agreed to allow me to “sit in” on
the meeting.
Soon after the conference be-
gan, Douglas, then a reporter for
the Press, arrived but, having al-
ready been told it was a closed
meeting, he remained outside for
an hour. (I recognized him from
his daily “column,” wheih carried
his picture).
I volunteered to act as typist,
when a set of resolutions was to
be prepared and then took a copy
out to the waiting journalist. In
a very respectful tone, he asked,
“Will that be all?” and I realized
he did not know I was a rival
reporter but thought I was one
of the preachers! The temptation
was irresistible. In the most
solemn voice at my command, I
replied, “Yes, Brother Douglas,
that will be all.”
It was no,t until the next day
that he learned? the difference.

AN
^dtate
PROBLEM
... as a great many Texans do ... solve it the economical way
with Southwestern Life Insurance... as many other Texans have.
A Texas executive, successful in business, whose estate had
been rapidly expanding, faced a perplexing problem of mounting
Federal Estate and State Inheritance Taxes on the estate he had
been building for his wife and himself. His problem was to con-
serve their estate, and yet pay the Federal Estate and State Taxes
that would accrue at the death of either husband or wife.
Death claimed his wife first, but he was pre-
pared to meet the more than $40,000 tax
bill because he had wisely established a tax
emergency fund through Southwestern Life
Insurance.
You, Mr. Texan, can establish the same
kind of emergency fund for your estate.
Now, through Southwestern Life Insurance,
you can assure the estate conservation you
desire, so that your heirs will not have to sell
the bulk of your property to pay Federal
Estate and State Inheritance Taxes that one
day must be paid. The investment required
to establish die plan is nominal. The protec-
tive conservation it will give your estate is
something you cannot afford to longer de-
lay. Without obligation, call today for a
comprehensive analysis of your needs.

Tree Pruning
Very Important
In West Texas
Pruning a tree to make it
strong is the most important part
of pruning,” says Dr. W. W. Yo-
cum. professor of plant industry
at Texas Technological College.
The same elements of strength
apply to shade trees, fruit trees
and evergreens, he says, and of-
fers the following detailed in-
structions :
There are some important dif-
ferences, however, in shaping the
tops of various trees. Upright ev-
ergreen trees naturally grow in-
to ideally formed trees. When
planted on the lawn or in wind-
breaks they should have branches
down to the ground as in nature.
Then they show their natural
symmetry. Very little pruning is
needed usually on the inside of
up-right evergreen trees.
Street and shade trees on the
other hand, must of necessity
have their lower branches remov-
ed to a height of 7 or 8 feet pre-
ferably. These branches should be
removed while they are small so
no large wounds are made. Each
year a whorl of these low
branches should be removed un-
til there is plenty of room be-
neath the tree for adults to walk,
and traffic to move safely in
the streets. If shade trees are
properly placed, there is no need
to limit their height. They are
more highly admired and valued
as they grow taller, and larger.
Fruit trees, however, must be
limited in height so that all orch-
ard operations will be made easi-
er. Large fruit trees, like apple
and pear, should never be allow-
ed to grow beyond 25 feet, in ov-
er-all bight. For this reason, the
trunk or main stem is checked 8
to 10 feet from the ground.
Stone fruits are smaller and short
lived trees, so need 4 or 5 feet of
trunk. The primary branches of
fruit trees should be distributed
evenly along the trunk down to
the ground in West Texas. Be-
cause of so much wind and sun-
shine in West Texas fruit trees
should be kept low and dense,
especially on the southwest side.
Fine trees can only he had by
giving them plenty of space.
Shade trees should be at least
40 to 50 feet apart if they are
to live a long time and be deve-
loped into their mature beauty.
There is not space for more than
two shade trees in front of a 50
feet lot.
SIMPLE TOOL FOR
WIRE BANDING
Plans for a wire banding tool
to stretch and fasten wires around
two pieces of timber now are
available through county agricul-
tural agents of the A. and M.
College Etension Service. The de-
vice also can be used to band a
split tongue of an implement.
Idea for the simple home-made
device came from a Bexar Coun-
ty farmer, Pat Higgins, and the
drawing was made by M. R. Bent-
le>* Extension agricuutural en-
gineer.
CHILD THIEF ARRESTED

en a suspended sentence in dis-
tict court this week following

en burglaries and acts of vandal-
ism. The youth operated by him-
self and had been an individual
crime wave for weeks in Quanah.

MAY BANISH INSECTS
Normally among the most con-
servative of scientists, members
of the American Association of
Economic Entomologists shook off
all restraint in New York City
the other day, and declared that
never in the history of entomo-
logy has a chemical been discov-
ered that offers such promise to
mankind for relief from his in-
sect problems as DDT.” The pub-
lic had received this impression
a year ago; now the scientists
have confirmed it after further
investigaton.
Experimental work in many
states has demonstrated that DDT
is effective in fighting “potato
insects, many orchard and vine-
yard pests, numerous vegetable
insects, as well as the chief in-
sect enemies of vitally important
seed crops. It appears to be ef-
fective aganst the pink boll-
worm.”
However, the entomologists
aren’t yet ready to recommend
mixtures and dosages.
