ARBOR MY PLANS CREATE INTEREST Suggested That All Home Owners Plant On? or More Tree* 011 Thi? Day \ 'MRS. GARRETT TO TALK ON TREES AND BIRDS Exercises To Be Held at Elementary School Building at 8:45 O'Clock Appropriate Arbor Day exorcises I will be held at the Brevard Klemen ?tary school auditorium Friday morn ing at 8:45, sponsored by the Wo man's Bureau organization, for which occasion an interesting pro gram suitable to the day will bts presented. I The following program has been arranged for presentation at this i time: Song by the school; talk on trees and birds by Mrs. A. G. Gar rett; appropriate ' poems read by ] Mrs. Vernon Crawford; ladies' trio", Mrs. J. M. Allison, Mrs. O. L. Erwin and Mvs. P. N. Simons, accompanied [by Miss Marguerite Robertson at [the piano. Following the exercisas, a few trees and shrubs will be plant ed on the school grounds, under the [supervision of the committee appoint jed by the Woman's Bureau, includ ling, Mrs. T. H. Shipman, Mrs. W. |MeK. Fetzer and Mrs. David Ward. Following a meeting of the execu tive board of the Woman's Bureau held last week, in conference with Prof. M. II. Shore, of the Elementary school, and J. A. Glazener, of tho Iligh School, at which time plans for the planting of trees and otherwise beautifying the school grounds were outlined for Arbor Day, it was de cided that it would not be feasible to undertake any extensiive planting of trees at this time. The Bureau directors and the school officials made a thorough investigation of the school grounds follow'ng the meeting, after which this decision, was reached. The school official#; agreed to furnish blue prints of thfl grounds, preparatory to proper land scaping for the most systematic planting of trees and shrubs, and "ip lend their assistance to the Woman's Bureau in any way possible toward securing the best results in beautift cation of the school property. Since it was found advisable for several reasons not to carry out at present the extensive program plan ned by the Woman's Bureau ?for beautifying the school grounds <in.l later developing it into a community playground, it is understood that work on this project will begin J"i soon as possible after the close of the present school term. For the benefit of those interested in the observance of Arbor Day and the planting of trees and shrubs around their premises, it will be of interest to know that Mrs. A. G. Gar rett has access to a supply of dog wood and sassafras trees, which may be obtained at a reasonable chargr by cpmmunicating with her, or by phoning No. 246. Mrs. Garrett, who is an authority on matters pertain ing to trees, flowers and shrubs, sug gests that each family in Brevard observe Arbor Day by planting a tree or bush for each child in th-3 family. She has a list of different trees especially adapted for planting in March, which information sho states she would be glad to impart to any interested parties.
