Value OF RefOrestatiOn
Explained By Mr.. Lynch

In Ve1y interesting interview at
the Del-Mar-Na Nurseries on Satur-
day, Elton Lynch, the, proprietor,
discussed the growth of the idea of
reforestation. He said, Forest tree
planting is no longer dependent up
en- spectators for support. The sue
cess achieved by the few courageous
individuals who first undertook the
work, either as a study, or pastime,
became the basis for more extensive
and practical reforestation so that
now landowners in all classes have
accepted it as logical solution to
their idle land problem. There are
two general classifications of meth
ods of forest regeneration; one nat
ural, which is from natural sown
seeds, or sprouts, the other is arti-
fetal, which is from seeds, plants or
cuttings brought to the site and
planted by man. No single method
is adaptable to all conditions. That
which is entirely suited to the lands
of Sussex County would probably re-
suit in failure if attempted in New
Castle County"
The most important reason for
reforestation is an economic one.
Rather than let the many thousands
of acres of waste land lay idle they
should be planted in trees. Valuable
and useful trees on the farm are a
sort Of savings bank account, which,
if rightly handled, may be drawn
upon each year without reducing the
principal.
There may be some question as to
where to plant but that one is easily
answered. Trees may be planted on
a steep hillside, rocky area, a san
dy situation or fresh water marsh.
Although trees may be planted at
any time of the year it is better to
plant them in the spring or fall.
1t is very wise plan to choose
the right kind of trees for refores-
tation. The Loblolly Pine or Long
Shat Pine as it is sometimes called
is very well suited to this part of
the country. It is adapted to soils
from wet to dry, clay, gravel. or
sand. This tree has rather large
number Of uses.

HISTORICAL TREES

ArbOr Day has become associated
all over the United States with pa
triotic and economic ideas. It is a
way of doing practical good to the
community. The planting of trees by
school children or organizations is
usually accompanied by ceremonies
intended both to impress upon those
present the beauty of trees and their
effect in improving the appearance
of school grounds, streets, parks,
and highways. Even the great for
ests of pine and fir and hardwoods
that cover the mountain sides and
sandy plains are more beautiful and
more important than just the trees
along the streets to the national
well being, for the forests are meV-
eT failing source of wood, water and
other necessities of life and ciYiIi-
cation. The Arbor Day tree is a
symbol standing for the recognition
of the Importance of the forest life
of the nation.
Few of us realize how often i'm
portant events of our national his
tory are cOmmemorated by trees
Among the most important is the
Elm Tree at Cambridge, Massachus-
etts, where Washington, the Father
of Our Country, first took command
of the Continental Army. Even back
in the days Of William Penn the Elm
Tree at Philadelphia marks the spot
where he made his famous treaty
with nineteen tribes of Indians.
Other trees that are noted for their
place in history are:
The Charter Oak at Hartford,
Connecticut, which preserved the
written guarantee of the liberties of
the Colony of Connecticut: the wide
spreading Oak Tree of Flushing,
Long Island, under which George
Fox the founder of the Society Of
Friends, preached; the Tulip Tree
ON Kings Mountain battlefield in
South Carolina, on which ten Tor
les were hanged at one time, the
grand Magnolia tree near Charles
ton, South Carolina. under which
General Lincoln held a council of
war previous to surrendering his
army; the Old Liberty Elm of Bos-
ton, planted and dedicated by a
schoOlmaster to the independence of |
the colonies and the rallying point |
for patriots before, during and after |
.he Revolutionary War; the Bur-
goyne Elm at Albany. New York.

CHRIST CHURCH OF
MILFORD NEARLY
loo YEARS OLD
Is Situated On The Cor
ner Of Church And
Third Streets.

The Christ Church, or Episcopal
Church-as it is more frequently
called is situated on the corner of
Church and Third streets, and has
been situated there since 1885.
Now, that we know where it is, let
us see how it came to be there. In
1904 Reverend Thomas, the minister
at Dover, was sent by the English
Society of the Propagation Of the
Gospel in Foreign Parts" into lower
Kent to establish an Episcopal
Church. A spot three miles west Of
Milford was selected for the chapel.
The exact location Of this church is
not known.
Thirty-eight years later another
chapel was built near the first, call
ed, officially, Christ Church, Mis-
pillion"-from the fact that a sa-
yannah, a tract of meadow without
trees, lay to the north of it. This
site is now known as Church Hill"
For twenty-six years this ;. little
frame chapel was furnished pastors
by the English Society for the Pro;
pagatiop of the Gospel in Foreign
Parts" When this society Withdrew.
its. aid the Savannah Church." after
short struggle among the CHURCH
members, was removed to Milford
Two of. the most prominent mem
bers, Joseph Oliver, the owner, Of
most of the land that is now Mil
ford, and Rev. Sydenham Thofne,
the owner of land west of Tanners
Branch and the suggestor of diFid-
ing divers land into town lots. in.
fiuenced the change. Oliver gave
land enough for the church and
graveyard and made the. bricks. from
the clay on his land. These Thorne
paid for. Thorne. gave also theelun-
ber for building this church from
his own woods. ~
In 1921 the foundation was. laid.
The work was progressing bit by, bit
when Rev. Thorne died. For forty
one years the building remained as
it was at the time of Thorne's
death, then building was started
again. .EtE 2l.
A two-story church with galleries
on all sides but the east where the
communion table was, was finished
in 1885. The hope of Thorne and
Oliver had become a reality. The
Christ Church was finished. IT,.
One by one ministers have come.
One by one they have gone. AT the
present time the church claims Rev.
Joseph S. Kinks as its pastor.

THE TEMPLE OF
BRIGHAM YOUNG
AS Seen By A Caulk
Employee.

Some days ago DR.. G. Layton Grier
received a letter from one of the
Caulk Company field employees in
Salt Lake City, Utah. The man was
once (prick up your ears, school
news reporter) a brilliant newspa-
per man and, at one time, was con-
nected with the Associated Press. In
his letter he tells of seeing the Nor
mon Temple Which was finished in
the early eighties, after forty years
under way. He tells that it is Shap-
ed like an umbrella and supported
opnly from the outer edge. The story
goes that it was raining when Brig
ham Young got the idea as to how
to build the tabernacle. The writer
Isays "As he raised his umbrella, be-
ing a simple-minded gent when it
came to architecture, he settled the
whole thing to his thirteenth wife,
who was trying to edge in under the
umbrella. Well build the temple,
just like this umbrella said he, and
he did. 1t is egg-shaped around and
over all, and just the place to give
a confidence to your lady friend"
From this temple comes the voice
of that 81 eat choir which we hear
over the radio, and the writer, who
signs himself Bob, writes that he
visited the place when the choir was
practicing, Let him tell It in his
own words. There was no one in
sight outside, so cautiously poked
my head through one of the many
big doors, opening it just a wee bit.
My astrolOgy says that some Of
my days are luckier than some of
the others. l had felt like a kid
slipping in under the circus tent;
but the most glorious music you can
came through that crack In |
the door. The rows and rows and
rows of wooden seats were all emp
ty and the place was half dark, but
up on the bank at the far end, where
the big pipe organ was enthroned, |
choir practice was on. You DON'T
hear over the radio 8 thougandth
part of the richness, the prolohga-
lion of the tones, the vibrations
which give color and warmth, and |
which surround and penetrate you
and leave lingering cafesses as they
depart. After the first. earfull no
one could have kept me out. went
in and found the very center of the
place and constituted small speck !
of an audience. and felt even small
ler. The leader made them work all !
right, but the selections were beau
ttful. The more he made them re-
peat the more became aware Of
hat sense of things which loses all
sense of things. l was completely |
lost to everything except the best !
hat | am capable of being. When / |
'ound myself again the music had
stopped, the choir had disappeared
md | was sitting alone"
TO those of us who are ambitious
o gain living by our pens such
etter should be both an aspiration
md an inspiration.

Girl Reserves Have s..
First Hike Of Year

The Girl Reserves were very glad
to see that the radio announcement
that it was going to rain Friday was
not so, for they had planned a hike
that day. After school about twenty
of us started for Scouts Peninsula.
When we reached there we found to
our delight that one of our members
had brought corncobs and paper to
start the fire with. Miss Alden, our
supervisor, aided by some of the
girls, gathered some sticks and be-
fore long had a roaring fire. %'
Thanks to Kitty Morrison we did
not have to carry bundles. for she
brought them in her car. When the
fire died down a. bit we all roasted
hot dogs and ate them between de-
licious rolls. Mustard came In han
dy to cover UP the taste of the
smoke. With the hot dogs we had
pickles, olives, lettuce sandwiches
with bacon, apples, marshmalloWs,
and crackers. My, how good every
thing tasted after the walk. Before
long it was time to get ready to start
home. Some of the girls had found
arbutus, others had taken pictures
whatever we did, l am sure every
one had a good time. Coming back
we took the short cuts and some of
the girls rode home with Martha Nc
Cullough on the back of her fathers
truck. Perhaps we were tired when
we reached home about seven, but
we were all glad we had gone.
We were also glad to have Miss
Alden's sister and Dorothy Dawson
with US.

THE ROSE STILL GROWS !.
BEYOND THE WALL +
BY A. l.. Frink

M BY A. L. Frink
Near shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in Gods
free light,
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding It's sweetness day and
night.
AS it grew and blossomed fair and
tail,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
1t came toe q crevice in the wall,
Thru which there shone beam of
light.
Onward 1t crept with added strength
With never thought of fear or
pride
1t followed the light thru the crey-
vices length
And unfoIded itself on the other
side.
The light, the dew, the broadening
view
We're found the same as they were
before;
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and
more.
Shall claim of death cause lis to
grieYe,
And make our courage faint or
frail?
Nay! Let us faith and hope receive;
The rose still grows beyond the
wall.
Scattering fragrance far and wide,
Just as it did in days of yore.
Just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will for evessGcTa.

State Forestry Tree
Nursery Progresses
Much In Three Years

The State Forestry Tree Nursery
is located on the du Pont Highway
about a mile and a half south of
Lincoln. This is the only one of its
kind in the State. In an interesting
interview with the manager, Mr.. H.
c. Cherry, l found out many note
worthy facts. The nursery has been
in operation about three years.
Their purpose is to build UP forest
land and new land They have seven
different varieties of trees which
they are observation-disclosures Fir,
LOblolly Pine, Norway Spruce,
Scotch Pine, Southern Spruce and
Short Leaf Pine. The nursery is
near a small lake of our State and l
am sure that this nursery will be a.
great factor in developing our ma

Elizabeth has been substitute side
