MOUNTAIN DEW“End Speed Zone” signs have

been erected by the sta te on the main roads leading out of Mar- garetviUe'. Most drivers are al­ready going over the 25-mph limit when they come to the end of the speed zone.

There are thousands and thous­ands of sparkling pictures these clear August mornings as the sun sta rts its daily journey across washed-blue sky.

• • •Dew gathers in the mountains

and in the valleys. There are hot- region climates where the morn­ing dew is sufficient to take the place of rain.

• • •Down the centuries man has

used the word dew as a symbol of freshness and purity. There are references to dew in the Bible —^meaning blessed by good. Shakespeare wrote of the “Golden dew of sleep.” Many folks talk about dew falling.

• • •This is not correct. The gleam­

ing drops of liquid on spider webs, on strawberry and clover leaves, or spaced alm g a blade of grass —this liquid which gleams in the sun’s ejirly rays is condensed from the air.

* • •At dusk half of the earth turns

away from the sun. Then the plants lose the heat gathered ii\ the day. TTiey become cool. Re­sponding to a fundamental law (the same as drops on cold w ater pipes a hot summer day) moisture in the air gathers on cooling ob­jects.

* • *Each small drop is a m irror in

the morning sunshine—the images upside down. Examine a drop th ro u ^ a hand lens and you _v?ill see. n e i^ y tr e ^ 'b r B white d o ^ in the blue sky.

Many of summer’s most appeal­ing pictures are made by dew. A straw berry or clover leaf has. a drop on each of the many points, a spider web is a flashing jewel, a long blade of grass has a large drop a t the tip and small drops spaced along the sides.

/ • • •Dew is heavier in the lowlands

than on the hilltops because the a ir is cooler in .the lowlands than on the mountains. Some morn­ings in August are misty because the increasing warmth causes moisture to rise.

• • • ^I have been told that “dew”

is the most beautiful word in the English language. I t is derived from the old Anglo-Saxon “deaw.' Dew is an im portant part of the great plan which governs plant life on this earth. Moisture hastens the return of organic m at­te r to humus.

« • •Go out a t d a w one of these

mornings and see the thousands of beautiful pictures psiinted dur­ing the hours of dark.

Conservation officials and state police are burning the candle a t both ends in an effort to control the outlaw. But while they are waiting in one location, the out­law is operating in another. Public cooperation with law enformement officials is increasing. More people are realizing efficient law enforcement is impossible with­out it. Fewer are dismissing the Crime with the excuse that the violator is poor and needs the meat. Good sportsmen every­where understand that the deer jacker is an inhuman sneak thief without justification for his crime.

Sirus, the Dog star, rules the heavens as August hovers over the Catskills. This is the season when rivers and creeks move slowly and quietly along their windiig paths.

• * •Streams are bom in many

places. In the Catskills they have their s ta rt in clear cold springs which bubble from underneath great rocks on a mpuntainside often far up.

* • •Millions of years ago when great

travail heaved the continents about, Uquified rock materials were put down layer upon layer. F ar below the surface of the earth, veins ^of never failing w ater seep through the soil and flow along between the layers. They sometimes find a crack. I t may be high on the mountain.

• * •There are cold springs in slop­

ing pastures, in evergreen wood­lands, in low-lying swamps, in the very bottom of the rivers and in the bottom of occasional moun­tain lakes. Sprmgs had much to do with the location of homes and communities in pioneer days. A farm today with an “everliving” spring is worth more than one without. W ater is a great farm necessity.

• • *Springs make Uttle rivulets,

rivulets join a t the end of tiny ravines to form spring brooks. 'The brooks unite a t the ends of larger ravines or hollows to fol­low their destiny to 'a distant sea.

♦ • »In March and April rains and

melted snow swell the streams, small and large, make water bub­ble from the ground, for a short time like a spring, send this vol­ume down the valleys in a seeth­ing boiling flood of wild waters. There is a high pitched yell of destruction as they rush down the valleys.

• * •The deer jacker shines the head­

lights of his car or beam of a powerful simtlight on the animal, which often stands still or even moves towards the light. The sights of his gun do not show up as well as in the daylight therby handicaping even the best of marksmen and greatly reducing his chances of a killing shot. More than half the deer shot in this mianner escape the hunter, who dares not follow t h ^ . A doe and twin fawns, victims of a jacker, were found dead in a space of a hundred yards a few years ago.
