tiful structure that houses it, One of
| these trees was named in honor of Mr..
Burbank and the other was given the
name of Mrs. William G. Fitzgerald,
president of the State Federation, who
was present snd participated in the
ceremony. Mrs. A. +. Jones, former
Northern District president, and one

Tree
This event recalls to mind Arbor days
that were observed in the first years
| of FL Centre, when the club women each
year put on q program of tree planting,
due to which we now have the trees
! that border our streets, those on the
! Lincoln and Mckinley school grounds,
and at the high school, as we'll as hun
dreds that were planted in yards and
gardens of the city. All were not
| planted on the day itself, Of course, but
many of them were, and the others were
planted as continuation OF the pro-
gram.
| The CalexicO Improvement club, un-
der the inspiration Of Mrs. Fritz kloke
| who is of blessed memory for the good
works that she did before her death,
planted many trees also, and inspired
the planting of many more. How in
| finitcly worth while it was!
