 Regarding the planting of the tree it has been suggested 10 hand 1t over to the department of education and providing it arrives before ar5or does that it be planted hy the school children on that day.

 Another suggestion is that the pr0- moterS of the convention water the trees roots with their tears. that Don- ald Warner and Governor Mclean shake hands over il. providing their arms are long enough. if not they can shake around it. which would be just as good anyway.
