Where trees are scarce, they
are greatly appreciated. Nebraska
was a state that was almost tree
less and it was from the^re that
the idea of an Arbor Day origin
ated. Arbor is a Latin word mean
ing tree.
J. Sterling Morton who was a
member of the Nebraska State
^ Board of Agriculture realized that
the state should protect its scanty
woods. He suggested that they
should add regularly by planting
young trees and seedlings. At his
suggestion, a special day was set
aside in the spring for planting
trees. 1,000,000 trees were planted
in 1872. Soon other states became
intrested.
Theodore Roosevelt, who made
conservation of our natural re
sources one of his principal aims
promoted the idea through educa
tion and the press. Gradually Ar
bor Day became a fixed law in
some States. In the South it gen
erally occurs in January or Feb
ruary while in the North in April
or May.

lude of Truman’s
Administration
WASHINGTON (/I1)—The sound
and fury of political debate over
the eommunists-in-government is
sue hit a new peak today with
Republicans launching fresh at
tacks on the administration.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska,
the GOP floor leader, pinned the
issue to the timetable of a western
whistle-stop tour President Tru
man begins Sunday.
Wherry noted that the Presi
dent agreed to open state depart
ment loyalty files to Senators in
vestigating charges by Senator
McCarthy (R.-Wis.) that the agen
cy is a haven for communists and
said: “He did it only because he
could not face the people with his
argument for secrecy.”
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York, the 1948 GOP Presidential
I nominee, added his voice to the
Republican chorus of criticism for
the administration.
In a New ork speech last night.
Dewey accused the Democrats of
tolerating spies, traitors and sex
offenders in government. Discuss
ing the attitudes of the two ma
jor political parties, Dewey de
clared:
‘‘One big difference is that we
Republicans believe in keeping
our political promises and we
keep them faithfully.”
Cancer of the digestive organs
kills more Americans than anv
other type, the American Cancer
Society points out.
