MEMORIAL TREE !
PLANTING PLAN j
GAINING FAVOR
i
—
SALEM, Ore—Gov. James Whity
combe, of Oregon, in a letter tothe
American Forestry Association has
indorsed the association’s plans for
memorial tree planting in honor of
the soldier and sailor dead in the
great war. “I assure you I am
heartily in sympathy with this move
ment,” writes Gov. Whitycombe to
P. S. Ridsdale, the secretary, “and
you are entitled to congratulation
upon the idea. I am referring your
letter to the State Highway Com
mission with the request your sug
gestion be given every consideration
possible.”
The American Forestry Asso
ciation’s plan includes the planting
of Memorial Trees along the Lin
coln Highway and other trans-con
tinental motor routes. The asso
ciation is urging that any memorial
plans include the proper setting of
memorial trees.
Planting of memorial trees for
sailors and soldiers who died in the
war is one of the finest things that
can be done,” said T. Gilbert Pear
son, executive head of the Na
tional Association of Audobon
Societies. “Planting of trees means
more to bird life than can be esti
mated for it will doubtless surprise
a great many people to know that
trees are a life and death matter
with the birds. Many of them will
work through every daylight hour
to save trees. I have known people
who hunt w-oodpeckers—the bird
that spends most of its time saving
trees from the pests under the bark.
“Some people suppose that a
majority of the birds go south for
the winter. This is not true, for
many of them find no snow too
deep to keep up their battle. The
National Association of Audobon
Societies most heartily indorses the
plan of the American Forestry
Association to plant memorial trees
and in that way direct the thougHts
of the people to the importance of
our forests now so badly depleted.”
