Plants-Guardians
Of Our Atmosphere
COLLEGE STATION -
Green plants play a vital role in
our survival and well-being.
They, explains Everett
Janne, Extension landscape
horticulturist, are the great air
purifiers of the world. They
have the ability to take carbon
dioxide from the air and
convert it to oxygen which is
vital to all animal life. In the
process of photosynthesis,
plants manufacture the basic
carbohydrate materials which
we ultimately use as food.
In a season of active growth,
Janne notes that the grass in a
well-maintained 50 by 50-foot
lawn will liberate enough
oxygen to meet the needs of a
family of four day after day.
He says estimations made
by Dr. Karl Boer, University of
Delaware scientist, show that
each of us requires at least 78
large trees each day to utilize
the Carbon dioxide given off in
the various processes needed to
maintain our well-being.
Here is the way he sees it.
One tree is needed to take up
the carbon dioxide from our
breathing; 20 for our
automobile; 20 for heating and
air conditioning our home; 5
for household electricity;. 2 for
garbage disposal and 30 trees
to utilize the carbon dioxide
produced in the manufacture
of the industrial goods each of
us uses.
These estimations, points
out Janne, do not consider the
effects of public
transportation, forest fires, and
other contributors to the C02
in the atmosphere. For
example, a commercial jet
aircraft flying from New York
to Los Angeles creates enough
C02 to require the combined
efforts of more than 50,000
trees for one day to utilize it
all.
Greater use of plants in
home gardens, in home and
public landscaping, and in
community beautification is
suggested by the horticulturist,
as a positive contribution for
reduced air pollution.
In addition to acting as air
purifiers and food
manufacturing complexes,
trees also improve the
environment, says Janne. They
cool the air and provide
welcome shade. i*iq foliage
serves as a filtering system
screening out dust from the
atmosphere. They can serve as
windbreaks, reducing the wind
velocity; thereby, reducing
heat loss from homes and farm
yards. Trees and shrubs also
serve as excellent sound
barriers against traffic and
industrial noises, advises Janne.
For their aesthetic value
| The Winkler
alone in helping beautify our
surroundings, trees, shrubs and
ground cover plants are worth
the time, effort and expense
required to plant and maintain
them, contends the
horticulturist. Add this to all
of the other benefits derived
from green growing plants, he
adds, and it is easy to see why
it is important that we keep
America green.
And reminds Janne, the
optimum time for tree planting
is now at hand.
Certificate Of
Number Needed
By Boat Owner
AUSTIN —■ Boat owners
should make sure they have
their certificate of number
aboard when they go boating
on public waters;1 accbrding to
the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department.
Department officials warn
that sometimes lienholders will
keep the certificate as part of
their mortgage holdings,
leaving the boat owner open
for prosecution. Lienholders
are expected to allow the boat
owner to retain the certificate.
The Texas Water Safety Act
requires operators of boats on
public waters to have the
certificate, or facsimile thereof,
on board the craft at all times.
Motorboats do not require a
certificate of title per se, but
the certificates of number are
required to establish
ownership.

The 1971 Easter Seal
Appeal will open in Winkler
County Monday, March 1,
according to Dalton Haines,
who serves as Easter Seal
Representative for the county.
Haines said that Easter Seal
Appeal letters will begin
arriving at homes in the county
about March 1.
As representative for the
campaign, he is the local
person to contact to request
rehabilitation services from the
Easter Seal Society for
Crippled Children and Adults
of Texas. These services
include physical and
occupational therapy, speech
and hearing programs and
special information services to
help solve the many problems
faced by the families of
handicapped children and
adults.
Last year over 21,000
handicapped people received
help from the Texas Easter
Seal Society. With the costs of
providing expert professional
care rising, more money than
ever will be needed.
Funds help support 20
centers in Texas, where
crippled children and adults are
treated, regardless of their
ability to pay. Walker,
wheelchairs, and related
services are provided to those
who cannot provide for
themselves.
“The people of Texas have
always responded generously
to helping the handicapped and
I feel certain they will make it
possible to increase Easter Seal
services to crippled children
throughout the coming year,”
Haines said.
