FRUIT TREES WILL
FLANK HIGHWAYS.

Hickory, March eff the plans of
the Newton and Hickory Kiwanis
clubs mature, the hard-surface road in
Catawba county will be flanked by a
row of shade or fruit trees on each
side. The matter has gone SO far that
each clLR has appointed committees
to cooperate for the purpose of work
ing out the details. 1t is the purpose
of those organizations to enlist the
support of other civic clubs in the
county and to select some special day,
probably Arbor day and complete the
whole job. Between Is and 20 miles
would be planted on each side of the
highway.
There is some difference as to the
sort of trees to plant-whether they
should be shade or fruit-but senti-
ment seems in favor of fruit 1t is
pointed out that in spring, summer
and fall the trees will not only look
beautiful, but will yield fruit and be
a drawing card that could not be re-
sisted.
