Fall Clean-Up Will Reduce Foliar Diseases LAFAYETTE - Foliar diseases caused by fungi were common on numerous trees and ornamental shrubs throughout Indiana this past spring and summer. Although it may not eliminate the possibility of foliar diseases next year, good garden cleanup practices this fall will certainly aid in their reduction, says Donald H. Scott, Purdue university extension plant pathologist. Anthracnose of ash. maple and white oak; scab of apple, crabapple and pyracantha; needle blight of white and Scotch pines, and Phomopsis blight of juniper and Taxus are some examples of diseases this year. In addition, a bacterial disease known as fireblight was common on certain varieties of apple, pear, flowering plum and mountain ash These diseases are present to some degree each year, says Scott. But environmental conditions this year, especially the rainfall and extended periods of

high humidity, appear to have favored the development and spread of disease-causing organisms. Each of these disease-causing fungi and bacteria live through the winter in infected leaves, twigs or fruit, he adds. Next spring these organisms will again become active and produce microscopic spores or other fruiting bodies. Then, during warm, rainy weather, these spores will be splashed or blown onto newly developed plant parts, possibly causing new infections. If certain environmental conditions are present then, additional spores will be produced on the infected foliage. In this situation an entire tree, shrub or flowering plant may become diseased. So, since these disease-causing organisms overwinter in infected plant debris, good sanitation practices are a must. All plant debris should be removed and destroyed from the soil around trees, shrubs and flower beds, counsels Scott. Diseased twigs and branches should be properly pruned and destroyed. When you have done this, you will at least have the satisfaction of knowing you helped in the reduction of the diseases.

Continue Investigation Into Death Os Warsaw Youth

Mystery continues to shroud the sudden death of Kip Lucas, 18-year-old Warsaw youth who was found dead in his car parked at the Center Street Plaza shopping center in Warsaw Sunday afternoon. The former Warsaw high school football star was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul (“Bud”) Lucas. 805 East Main street, Warsaw. Found In Car The youth was found dead in his car at approximately 2:30 p.m. Sunday. He was slumped over the front seat and the car motor was still running. Police officers said the first one to notice the Lucas car was Pam Boggs, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry D. Boggs, 1623 East Main street. Warsaw, who thought he was lying asleep in his car. She noticed the vehicle at 11 a.m. Sunday when she visited her mother who works at Ace Hard-

MAD Meets With MexicanAmericans Monday Evening

Several representatives of a newly organized Milford chapter of a Mexican-American group attended the regular meeting of the Milford Area Development Council (MAD) Monday night at the fire station to discuss mutual problems. Speaking for the group was Oscar Pena, vice president of the Mexican-American group. He spoke of their problems, mainly housing and better living conditions for their people in the area, and found them to be compatible with the aims and aspirations of MAD. They were commended for taking the initiative in taking steps to better their conditions, and were invited to become members of MAD. Mr. Pena said he would relay this information back to their group. Letter of Thanks MAD secretary Richard Fehnel was instructed to write a letter of thanks to state senator John F. Augsburger, representative Thames Mauzy and Indiana Governor Edgar D. Wliitcomb for their efforts in getting the road 15 stop light restored at Milford. The letter is to be signed by the MAD president, a member of the Milford town board and Lions club and a representative of the Lakeland school corporation. Junk cars in the town of Milford came up for another round of discussion. A motion was approved to have the town board activate an August 1967 junk car ordinance to seek the removal of

the unsightly vehicles from the town, using the method of friendly persuasion. Board members Carl Duncan and Dr. T. A. Miller, who were present, agreed to take the action. Telephone Service Rev. Ralph Karstedt asked the group to get behind an effort to seek free telephone service from Milford to North Webster. Free service is now in effect from Milford to Syracuse and from Syracuse to North Webster. He said, “School consolidation made us one community, but the lack of a free means of communications keeps us apart, at least the Milford-North Webster communities.” Secretary Fehnel was instructed to address a letter to the United Telephone Co., asking a company representative to meet with MAD to discuss the problem. Hearing Oct. 20(Continued from page 1) directions the board might consider. These findings were later published and mailed to all taxpayers in the school corporation. During the month of April, three public meetings were held in the school corporation and no objections were voiced to the board. The continual growth of pupil population at North Webster and at Wawasee high school continues to point out the need of additions at these two school areas. Renovation of dangerous conditions to the children at Milford junior high school and deterioration of certain areas at the Syracuse school give reason for the work that has been projected for these areas. The board of school trustees believe that the needs so evident substantiates the need for the establishment of the 60 cent cumulative fund. However, if the parents of the children who are in school do not believe the crowded and dangerous conditions of the schools warrant immediate consideration, they will have an opportunity to indicate this at the hearing.
