ARBOR DAY IS
WOMAN s DAY
Club Women Should Show
AggreSSiveneSS in Advancing
Development of Community,
Says State President.
BY MISS VIDA NEWSOM
President Indiana Federation of Gu


Arbor day. April L. in very large
sense is woman's day. It is an occa-
sion which appeals to the finer senti-
mentS, brings us closer 70 the outdoor
life and to a better appreciation OF
natures riches. and for these reasons
and more. the women of Indiana. both
members Of clubs and those who are
not. should lead in its observance on
April Il that all communities may
derive from il all of the splendid pos
sibilities il offers.
Arbor day stands for cleaner and
more attractive cities, towns and rural
communities. II stands for more than
speeches and narades but for the real
planting Of trees and shrubs and for
the general adornment of home and
public grounds, streets and parks.
and a general betterment Of condi-
tiOns which will make a community
more attractive place in which TO live.
The Indiana Federation Of Clubs
stands for all Of these things. so in
promoting Arbor dav celebrations the
club women of the state will promote
the interests OF the federation.
ArbOr day is a civic occasion which
opens to wOmen's clubs an unusual
opportunity to show their aggressive
ness in advancing the physical de-
velopment of their community. and
these CLUBS should take the leader
ship in organizing Arbor day celebra
lions in a large way. With parades
speeches and the actual planting Of
many trees in public places the wO
mems clubs can spread d civic mes
sage throughout community on
April Il such as cannot he done on
any other day. II is an occasion. too.
when clubs can pay tribute to their
presidents and others who are or
have been active i'm club work. or TO
other women who have also given sig
nal civic service 10 tbeir town by
naming the trees for them.
