(Ward photo) Union Students Plant Dogwood From Mo. School Under the supervision of their respective teachers, the fifth and sixth grade students of Perquimans Union School have recently planted a dogwood tree, the state tree of Missouri, on campus.

The exchange of letters which has resulted in the exchange of state trees is being done in commemora tion of the Bicentennial. The Union School students will soon be sen ding the Missouri school class a longleaf pine, the state tree of North Carolina: The following is the legend of the dogwood tree: At the time of the crucifix ion of Christ, the dogwood had been the size of the oak and other forest trees. So firm and strong was the tree that it was chosen as the timber of the cross. To be used for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the tree, and Jesus, nailed upon it, sensed this. And He said, "Because of your regret and pity for My suf fering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a cross. Henceforth, it shall be slender, bent, and twisted and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross-... two long and two short petals. And in the center of the outer edge of each petal, there will be nail prints, brown with rust and stained with red, and in the center of the flower will be a crown of thorns, and all who see it will remember."
