In replacing damaged wood,
t is advisable to remove mater-

As such trees provide a living
link with the distant past, they
have always held man's great
respect and affection. When
lumbering threatened these ir

the Society and individual mem-
bers donated $100,000 to help
preserve the finest in the Giant
Forest of Sequoia National I'ark.
Unlike the titans of the for-
est, the bristlecone pine is a
"wind timber," one of the tough
species that flourish at the ut
most frontier of trees. The tree's
normal range is an elevation of
8,000 to 11,500 feet in the moun
tains of eastern California, Ne-
vada. Utah, Colorado, northern
Arizona, and northern New Mex

Wind blows the winged seeds
across deep valleys. Relatively
few seeds find a friendly place
to germinate and, as a rule, the
survivors appear in open stands
on far-flung peaks, clawing their
roots into rocky soil, growing
slowly through bitter winters
and summer droughts.
At extreme heights a bristle
cone ,.ine may grow no higher
than a man in 900 years. Some-
remain twisted shrubs. Others,
at lower elevations, may ,-treU-h

an average of ).r> to 30 feet, with
a short stocky trunk a foot to

attain stem diameter.- of > feet
or more. A season's growth of
stout, dark-shining needles may

The invention of nuclear wea

PENSACOLA REACH, Florida—Anglers
at this West Florida year-round resort now
catch deep-water specimens without getting
the least bit seasick, since completion of the
great pior in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition
t*> thi. fiu!f wharf, Pensacola Beach also has
a free fishing pier on the other side of the is-
land, in placid Santa Rosa Sound.
Autumn brings some of the be t fishing of
the year on semi-tropical Santa Rosa Island,
where "October's bright blue weather" is ideal
and where hay-fever sufferers find relief in the
absence of pollen.
In the clear and balmy Gulf water many va-
cationers like the beauties in the lower photo
find excitement, fun and healthful pastime in
skin diving and sun bathing, too.
Although the Autumn and early Spring
weather is excellent, Pensacola Beach motels
and beach cottages offer reduced rates from
Labor Day until May IB. The Santa Rosa Is-
land Authority at Pensacola is responsible for
this land of sand and sea, which was turned
over to it by the U S Department of the In-
terior to be developed in the public interest.
