To the Editor;
How did God fashion the roses sweet,
With their petals of myriad shades?
How did He fashion the wee wren's throat
to warble in joyous praise?
How did He think to fashion peas, Each in
it separate stall?
Each one fastened with fragile stem in a.
pod that protects them all?
How did He fashion the grass and trees?
All nature and flying things?
How did He paint the sunset's glow, And
the butterfly's gossamar wings?
Man has accomplished wondrous things on
earth, in sky, at sea.
But, wonder of wonders, with all his skills
He,cannot make a tree.

to capitulate to the disaster. Our country

to anyone who will plant and care for
them. In the interim a strong natural fer-
tilizer should be applied to feed the re-
rhaining line trees in an effort to save
them.
In deference to the aesthetics of our
country, dead and dying trees should be
removed. Finally, we should encourage
pur government to eliminate all con-
taminating influences from our environ-
