bring blindness to the other

Tree Pruning
Pointers Given
By Ass’t Agent
What is the best time of the
year to prune trees? This de-
pends on the reason for pruning,
explains Bill Ray, assistant coun-
ty agent. He explains:
“Deadwood can be removed
from trees at any time without
injuring them. Spring pruning,
however, is recommended when
doing correctional pruning, since
the wounds heal faster than at
other times of the year.
“If your objective is to in-
crease fruit and blossom set,
prune before the blossoms form
in midsummer, says Mr. Ray. If
on the other hand, you want to
decrease the number of blos-
soms, prune before they bloom
after the blossoms have set.”
Mr. Ray points out that the
pruning of trees during early
winter tends to reduce plant
hardiness and, in general, is not
a good practice.
Evergreens should not be
sheared in late summer or fall as
the cut ends will not heal over
until spring, he warns.
Dead branches can be remov-
ed now.

available from the County
Agent’s office: B-980 A Planning

thods.

Pool Is Afraid
War To Affect
Trinity Plans
DALLAS. (AP).—Rep. Joe
Pool, a Dallas Democrat, warn-
ed that the war in Viet Nam
could delay the completion o f
the Trinity River canalization
project for several years.
The increasing defense ex-
penditures for the fighting in
Southeast Asia might cause
money to be diverted from do-
mestic projects snuch as the
$900,000,000 river plan which
was approved in the last session
of Congress.
“The war in Viet Nam could
conceivably delay its comple-
tion for several years... but
this is, of course, understand-
able,” Pool said in a speech pre-
pared for noon delivery to a Ro-
tary Club.
But Pool said the Viet Nam
spending would not affect plans
for construction of new post of-
fice and federal buildings in
Dallas.
He said completion of the $20
million-plus federal building
would cause Dallas to become
one of the strongest federal
centers in the United States.

A Tribute to
Mrs. Ethel
Barron
We often wonder what life
would be like if we did not have
memories. When days are dark
and our hearts are sad, we can
bring them freshly to us. 1
So it will ever be with the
passing of Mrs. Ethel Barron,
one loved so devotedly by her
family and friends. The memory
of her deeds of love and kind-
ness to all with whom she asso-
ciated will live forever in cher-
ished memory. Her homegoing
was like the Morning Star that
ceases to shine only when lost in
the greatest and more glorious
light of Heaven.
Only the good and lovable
seems to live on and to come
back to us as the dominant
thing about those who are no
longer with us.
Her undying love, her simple
beauty of character, her glor-
ious faith, her broadness of
mind, tolerant spirit, and sym-
pathetic understanding will
dwell in the hearts of those
who loved her and to whom she
bequeathed many of her lovable
traits and characteristics, a rich
legacy of a life well worth emul-
ating.
The portrait of Mrs. Barron’s
life ie one of service to all man-
kind, her devotion and loyalty
to her home, family, and
church; her interest in all phas-
es of the civic and cultural life
of her town and community will
always remain a tribute of love
to her sweet memory. Her
friends are numbered by those
who knew her, some from
childhood as she began teach-
ing a Sunday School Class when
a young girl.
We shall miss her, but our
sorrow will be in the hope of a
happy reunion in God’s House
of Many Mansions to enjoy
rich blessings.
