Rising Hope That Federal Laws Have Halted Portion of Drug Peddlers (Editors Note: Here is the fourth and final story dealing with America's "shave-world of narcotics.") WASHINGTON (AP)—There is rising hope today that a new and tough federal law against narcotics peddling has halted the alarming upsurge in teen-age addiction to drugs. For more than two years, a growing number of teenagers have been dragged into the slave-world of narcotics that has trapped some 50,000 addicts in the United States. But in the past two months, U.S. Narcotics Commissioner H.J. Ansinger reports, there has been a decline in juvenile narcotics addiction. The number of youngsters being treated as addicts also has tapered off. It's the brightest news that has come out of the battle against the dread habit in many months. Ansinger gives credit to a new federal law—signed by President Truman last November—increasing the penalties for violation of the narcotics and marijuana laws. The new law fixes a minimum prison term of two years and a maximum of five for the first-time violators. It bars suspended sentences for those convicted a second time. It increases prison terms to a possible 20 years for third offenses. Ansinger has been directing the government's fight against Nations is trying to get agreement among its members of the control of narcotics manufacture and export. Investigations have spotlighted the situation. In the long run of addicts who have gone before investigators, there is the recurring theme: "If I had only known what it would do to me—I never would have started using narcotics." The addicts have their own ideas, too, about how one traffic should be controlled. One 20-year-old woman addict said: "If they once had the idea of what they were going to go through, after all you are giving up your freedom, and you are certainly losing a good deal of self-respect, pride and those things mean a lot to a person—then I think they would definitely not do it. If they were informed of it, there would be fewer of our young addicts." A 19-year-old youth said: "I don't think the fact that it (narcotics) is dangerous will keep teenagers off drugs when they reach 18 years old, because they are subject to be drafted anyway and to be sent to a foreign country and placed in conflict. There is danger all around them, and the fact that it is dangerous doesn't solve the problem. "If you can more or less help the addict himself," ing the penalties for violation of the narcotics and marijuana laws. Th new law fixes a minimum prison term of two years and a maximum of five for the first-time violators. It bars suspended sentences for those convicted a second time. It increases prison terms to a possible 20 years for third offenses. Anslinger has been directing the government's fight against the narcotics traffic for years. He is convinced that tough federal and state laws—strictly enforced—will do more than anything else to frighten peddlers and drive the dope traffic from the sidewalks of America. Anslinger is supported in these views by Federal Judge Guy L. Fake of New Jersey who has had long experience in dealing with narcotics addicts. Judge Fake has said: "If we could teach the young what a terrible thing it is, it might frighten the life out of anyone who would think for one moment of trying it even on a dare. Why this narcotics addiction is worse than leprosy, a thousand times worse, and it spreads one to another." Judge Fake has said: "If we est thing a judge can do for an addict is to sentence him to five years detention—time enough to shake off the craving for the drug and develop a new mental outlook. And he favors stiff penalties for the peddlers. Fortunately, the nation has been alerted to the menace and the size of the narcotics slave-world. Education programs are being conducted in schools and churches and civic centers in some cities to give teen-agers a hint of the dangers of narcotics. City, state and federal agents are making narcotics peddlers their special targets. The United don't think the fact that it (narcotics) is dangerous will keep teen-agers off drugs when they reach 18 years old, because they are subject to be drafted anyway and to be sent to a foreign country and placed in conflict. There is danger all around them, and the fact that it is dangerous doesn't solve the problem. "If you can more or less help the addict himself, and not the potential addict, then you can lick the thing. Another said: "It seems as though there should be some kind of a consultation that a teen-ager coming up can go to and someone to refer to when he has problems. It seems now that the majority of fellows and girls coming up, they seem to be neglected somewhat by their parents' general affection." Still another said: "I believe the only way you can actually stop or begin to stop teen-age addiction is through some sort of a revision of the Harrison Act making it legal for registered addicts. If they can obtain their drugs through a doctor for a small amount of money, they won't go to the peddlers. It won't be profitable for the peddlers to sell drugs in the streets." And a young doctor who became an addict said: "Any peddler who would take a child or just a kid and sell him narcotic drugs, particularly some kid who doesn't know the effect of it or what lifetime slavery it might lead to—I would say that a man who sells narcotics to that person should have the electric chair. It would be better to blow his (the youth's) brains out than to get him started on narcotics. Then he loses his life. If you give him narcotics, he will lose his soul, too. For Health, Kat California Fruit! Here's how it's done—natural extension service deaway an unnecessary branch fruit tree at the Elmer Hunt Hold Demon On Deciduous In order to meet the heavy mand for pruning information deciduous fruit trees, the Agricultural Extension Service held pruning demonstration yesterday morning at the Elmer Humphrey ranch, 8832 La Palma ave., Anaheim. The meeting was last in a series of seven of kind held in Orange county during the last two weeks and was attended by commercial growers as well as by gardeners with several miscellaneous trees in the home orchards. According to Harold E. Waiberg, Orange county farm advises in charge of the demonstrations pruning gives the best result when done during the dorm season—after leaf fall and before new growth starts the following spring which in this locality is tween the latter part of November and the first of March. "The old axioms, 'prune when the knife is sharp' and 'summer prune for fruit and winter prune for wood' are unsafe guides," Wahlberg emphasized, and said that these have been discarded favor of a more reasonable basis for pruning practice. Purpose of Pruning Mr. Wahlberg and his assistants demonstrated that pruning consists of cutting, removing repressing certain living parts of the tree in order to modify it utilize its natural habits for grower's purposes. It is an attempt to produce a vigorous, mechanically strong, healthy tree, well shaded to distribute the fruiting area uniformly over the tree and to ensure fruit of good size and quality. Pruning begins at planting time when it is very necessary. HERE'S A BUILDER'S BARGAIN!

OLD Demonstration Series on Deciduous Tree Pruning Nurserymen say by Orange County Nurserymen's Association Hold Demonstration Series on Deciduous Tree Pruning During April, the tree should be carefully gone over and all undesirable growths pinched back. At its first dormant pruning, the tree should be thinned to two or three primary scaffolds, properly spaced, and these scaffolds cut back lightly above the secondary branching. Care must be taken to leave the topmost branch longer in order that it may not be choked out. Successful pruners find that lightly pruned trees come into bearing one to three years earlier than trees of the same variety that have been heavily pruned, and that this early bearing in no ways interferes with future productivity. Five to seven primary and secondary scaffolds at five feet from the ground are sufficient for a mature tree, and after securing these together with the proper spread, it is useless to head back the young tree again. After the tree has borne fruit, the pruning should include adequate thinning out of fruit shoots to admit a good supply of light. All interfering branches, dead wood and diseased parts should, of course, be removed. The tree can be kept from growing too high by the regular cutting back of the tallest branches to strong, outward growing laterals. Question Period Questions asked during the course of yesterday's pruning demonstration brought out the points that ideal shape, height and distribution of fruit wood cannot be attained unless the trees are planted far enough apart in the orchard to develop normally. In the past, growers have tended to plant their trees too close to the seventh and last of a series of pruning demonstrations the Extension Service has been holding in Orange county.—(Gazette photo by Kreidt) Probably most garden lovers have at some time wanted a rose garden. Such a garden need be neither large nor elaborate and the pest and disease problem can be easily handled if one will lay out a good schedule and stick to it. Some spot with ample sunlight at least half the day is needed. Half shade, as under a tree, is not sufficient for such conditions cause weak growth and diseases, especially mildew. In windy areas some sort of a windbreak is needed, but creation of a dead air pocket should be avoided as it also encourages mildew and other troubles. A simple windbreak of one row of plants will serve or complex layout several rods in depth may be planted, as space permits. A strip along the south side of a fence makes a fine garden, the fence furnishing support for climbing roses which themselves provide foliage background for the bushes. In other days, beds of fancy shapes were popular but they proved to be difficult to care for, and now the simple outlines are considered best. If time allows, ample steer manure should be worked into the soil several months ahead. If that has not been done, go ahead and plant, using the steer as a mulch, as it should be used each year anyway.

Closeups shows the damage to azaleas and camellias caused by BUILDING FAX By CARL MEYER Secretary Orange County Builders Association So many of us remember only a portion of the complete saying which starts "Ignorance is Bliss." We forget that the remainder of the saying adds "when 'tis folly to be wise." When planning your own home, ignorance is anything but bliss. The more you can learn before you begin your planning, the better results you will get. Ample information on your part will help your architect to help you; adequate knowledge on your part will result in greater service from your contractor; you will be better able to intelligently determine such important details as the selection of materials, if you have first hand data on which to base your decisions. Now then, can you readily and accurately obtain such knowledge? There are three easy, obvious ways. First, talk with people who are building or have recently built their own homes, and talk with builders, suppliers, contractors, architects about the subject of building today. All of them will be likely to discuss the topic willingly, and expertly. Second, read as much as possible about home planning and home building. Libraries have many fine books on the subject. Third, go and see for yourself. Take advantage of every opportunity; the closets—the many, many items which spell the difference between a home you are delighted with, and a home you wish you could change—only after it's too late. Better yet, get a qualified architect or designer and use responsible contractors. When it comes to home building, don't be fooled by half a saying, because ignorance in such matters is not bliss.
