My sug gestionis that a Truck Route(exclusively) be made around. the town with a fine parking place for the big trucks, including a telephone to town and a good taxi service. This would insure the truckers business to the town ( and these men make plenty of money) and earn the trucker's undying gratitude. Withthis plan, I think the automobile traffic should be compelled to use the present winding road--it wouldn't hurt them to slow down a bit and have whoever would be responsible keep the road in its usual very good condition.

Little is known about how jthis disease acts, or what «causes. the trees to die, said (Davis Plant. Pathologist T. A. Shalla, who heads the emergency-created California pear. decline committee. “Affected treescan go into a slow decline and fail to produce new growth or fruit,” said Shalla; “or they can suffer a rapid collapse and wilt and die within a few weeks.” Though the disease has been known and'studied in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia for the past 10 years, neither the cause nor the method of spread of the disease has been defined, said the Davis pathologist. Pear decline was first depear orchards in 1958. In 1959 the toll rose to several thousand trees, and latest estimates place 1960 losses at well-over 50,000 trees. First aim of the research team is to pin down the cause of pear decline. A virus is suspected, but has not been proven the cause, said Shalla. The disease pattern is similar to that of other " virus-caused fruit diseases. Extensive microscopic studies of the graft union bark by Riverside Campus Plant Pathologist Henry Schneider have shown that ‘€alifornia pear decline is probably the same as that found in the Pacific Northwest. Schneider’s studies also point out the similarity of\pear decline to cer“Citrus and stone fruits. Shalla explained that to ‘prove that viruses are responsible, the disease must be experimentally — transmitted from sick to healthy trees in the absence of fungi : or bacteria.
