Tree Planting Call VIII
Go Out By Way
Of Radio

NEW YORK, April radio
tomorrow will sound the call to
action for tree planting legions
throughout the country.
The occasion is the anniver-
sary of the birth of John Bur-
roughs, the naturalist, and the
American Tree Association will
observe the day by planting
trees.
Charles Lathrop Pack, of
Washington, president of the
association, will send the call to
action through station WIZ.
Seventy thousand members
registered last year in the asso-
citation by planting trees, Pack
said, and he expects to break
that record tomorrow.
