Y O U N A M E ST, JOE'S GOT ST If by chance you haven't been following the calendar, there is upon us the time of your turf life which is another way of stating Professor Joseph Troll will be setting up his stand for the University of Massachusetts Fine Turf Conference March 5-6-7 at the Highpoint Motor Inn, Chicopee. It goes without saying that this is the show you shouldn't miss. This year there is a greater lure to superintendents than ever before. The program is packed full of interesting sessions to nourish the mind on food to keep the turf manager thinking and it is all topped by the appearance of Mr. John K. Campbell, links supervisor at St. Andrews, Scotland. The conference will kick off Wednesday, the fifth, with a registration period at noon, followed by a general session. Our own Tony Caranci is heading up the opening session and, as usual, his ideas light a thousand bulbs. There will be a string of interesting subjects presented by interesting people. It swings all the way from The Reluctant Human down through Vandalism on the Golf Course and on to an organizational barbecue on the advantages of joining the GCSAA under the guiding voice of president John Spodnik. Thursday's lineup is another Professor Troll gang buster on golf. It starts at 9:30 with Dr. Lindsay D. Brown discussing the role of potash in turf ^production, slips into a review of turf diseases with Dr. Troll doing the honors and concludes in late afternoon with a rundown of the after-effects of irrigation by Dr. John C. Harper, I I of Penn State. There is more to come Thursday night, both from a social and educational point of view. Dr. Troll will conduct the conference's formal dinner and introduce speaker Bob Ronson who has chosen a rather tricky-titled subject •— "Trust Everyone . . . but Cut the Cards." You'll have to get up bright and early Friday morning to catch the feature attraction when Mr. Campbell steps to the lecturn at 9:15 to give his audience what should be a most lively delivery on golf course maintenance at St. Andrews. From there the sessions will turn in order from ground covers for golf course, over gardening from the year one to a windup on "bents vs. blues" with James Holmes of the U S G A Green Section acting as referee for this grassy match. In all it looks as though Dr. Troll has another exciting and worthwhile three days arranged for turf growers, courters and lovers. I n fact, all you have to do is name it . . . and Joe's got it. This is a premier production. — Gerry Finn This is the year in which the Golf Course Superintendents Association of New England | hopes to pile it on . . . and the sky's the limit in an all-out assault to swell the Lawrence S. Dickinson Scholarship Fund. Efforts of the past certainly can be labeled commendable, but there comes a time when stability breeds mediocrity y' which is another way of saying the fund needn't stand still at Lawrence S. Dickinson its annual presentation of a single grant of $250 to a student engaged in a turf management course at the University of Massachusetts. U n der the chairmanship of Phil Cassidy, super: at the Weston Golf Club, the fund committee hopes to build a sizable sum whereby the interest of same will be available to allow multiple grants in the pursuit of developing top talent for the turf management field. The Dickinson Fund has solid roots and a backbone of distinguished service in turf education by its very title. The fund was established in the memory of Lawrence S. Dickinson, generally acknowledged as the father of the turf school. Professor Dickinson founded the formal course of turf management at the University of Massachusetts in 1927, the first of its kind in this country. In the beginning the course was a brisk one of 10 weeks duration. From there the foresighted professor worked the project into a two-year program and in recent years the major of turf-prone students has added stature as a four-year venture. While most of the money funneled into the fund comes from direct donation by the New England Association, it is interesting to note that other agencies have expressed desires to join in this worthwhile cause. For that reason, the directors of the fund are now conducting surveys leading to a plan which would promote healthy additions to the working capital of the project. I n this vein, it has been suggested that the Dickinson Fund be patterned after the arrangement of the highly successful Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund, a still-budding enterprise capably administered by the Massachusetts Golf Association. With th~e~unctying~ co-operation of~ member club's, the M G A has made prominent strides in increasing the number of grants. As an example, in 1949 the Ouimet effort was responsible for sending 13 young men to college. This past year that figure had paraded past the 175 mark. The Dickinson people wish to emphasize that they are not in competition with the Ouimet group. However, they feel the field of turf management should be treated with the same interest as the education of caddies. In this instance, there will be attempted a drive to invite contributions from all golfers with emphasis, not on specific amounts, but on a willingness to take part in insuring the game of competent superintendents in the future. Naturally, the Dickinson Fund would like to think and operate as big as other charitable corporations in the field, such as the Ouimet and Chick Evans Scholarship Fund. But the group is perfectly satisfied to build the fund in an orderly and honorable manner. Eventually, the goal is to approach the aid grants of the other funds. For now, though, the NEGCSA is determined to lift the Dickinson Fund from the rut of a single scholarship per year. It would like to pile it on to help the superintendents enter the world of turf tomorrow well equipped. It welcomes any and all support. — Gerry Finn New Hampshire Golf Course Superintendents Association, Inc. Editor — John J. Barry, Supt. Abenaqui Country Club, Rye, N. H. Norman Pease, superintendent of the Purpooduck C . C., C a p e Elizabeth, Maine, holds the plaque he won for low net in the annual Supt.-Pro tournament. The New Hampshire Golf Superintendents Association has been informed of an opening for a superintendent in the New York area.

A change in meeting locations was voted on, and passed, at the last meeting. April and November meetings, previously held at the New Hampshire Highway Hotel, will now be hosted by a superintendent at his club. Since we have a commitment with the Highway Hotel for this April we cannot start this new policy until November, 1969. * * * 1 * Donald Bye, superintendent of the Province Lake Country Club, our delegate to the National Convention presented an excellent talk on the Convention.

ILLOGIC OF GROWTH With our new technology, we have already done more to disrupt things in our own lifetimes than were disrupted by all living things, including man, in all previous history. Whereupon we freely predict that we can go on the way we are going, doubling our appetite for natural resources every decade, holding ourselves before the world as a model for all others, evading the truth that if the rest of the world obliterated resources at our speed, resources would go twenty times as fast as they are now disappearing. Can we go on this way? •— worshipping growth, confusing it with progress, and get away with it? David Brower, Sierra Club — jrom address at Harvard College Bill Barrett, first president of the N .

COMMITTEE REPORTS Contract Committee To whom it may concern: The N.H.G.C.S.A. has formed a committee to draft a flexible contract format. This can be used as a guide by the individual in determining what will constitute an all-inclusive contract between the golf course superintendent and his country club.
