" Bill is a shy boy, extremely diffident in offering to take part in any activities though he joins in eagerly when others make the suggestion. Recently he became a member of a hockey team on his own and his Children's Aid worker was both surprdd and delighted at this evidence of growing self-confidence. This lad takes to all sports. He plays baseball in the summer and at school has played both football and soccer. In the summer he attended day camp which he enoyed very much. Bill is a pleasant, co-operative boy who gets on well with children his own age. With them he is much more outgoing than with adults. He is having some difficulties ' with his work in Grade 5 and is Waiting to get into an op- portunity class. Though not academically inclined, he enjoys some aspects of school. He is imaginative and likes being in plays and doing projects. Physical education is his favorite subject.

Smiles Principal to small boy: "It's very generous of you, Tom, but 'I don't believe your resignation would help our crowded school situation," Scientists at the Canada Agri- culture Plant Research Institute in Ottawa are cautious about the outcome of their efforts to pro, vide Canada with. stocks of an elm tree that is resistant to Dutch elm disease. The restraint is due to dif- ficulties encountered in their first attempt to propogate the new elm strain, known as the Quebec elm from its origins at L'Assomption, Que. "The initial attempt failed to produce the expected npmber of plants," says A.R. Buckley, who is in charge of the project at the Plant research Institute. Of the 300 cuttings takenfrom six young disease,resistant trees about a year ago, 56 rooted and survived. Scientists are now exploring ways to step up results so the most effective propogation pro- cedures and supplies of disease- resistant plants can be made available to nurseries for their own production as soon as pos- sible. The initial propogation may not have resulted in as many plants as the scientists had hoped, but tests of the 56 offspring did produce a highly encouraging answer to an important ques- tion concerning resistance. The tests' showed that all of them were just as resistant to Dutch elm disease as their parent trees. A factor slowing progress at the moment 'is the slow growth of the tree itself--its rate is less than half that of the Arnerl, can elm's 15 feet in six years,. The new elm strain's origin goes back _hint'e than 10 years to the federal experimental farm at L,'Assomption where C. Ouellet, a plant scientist who has since been transferred to_Qt- Owe., was involved in research on elm trees. From seedlings that had been treated with x-rays, he produced mutations with . different cell. structures. Six plants, from one selection that was found resistant to Dutch elm disease, were later moved to the Plant Research Ins- titute at Ottawa to be pursed. along for further testing and propogation. Forestry scientists are now experimenting with systemic fungicides and a method of ap- plying them through the roots. Spreading upward to all parts of the trees, the chemical would protect them from the fungus. disease spread by the elm bark beetle when it feeds on the bark The beetle itself causes little or no damage to the trees.
