Stately Trees Offer
Historical Values

Literally nothing organic
grows so high, wide or hand
some as tree. The sugar ma
pie, American linden, tulip
tree, sweetgum, Moraine locust,
red pine. white fir, white spruce
all grow to be over 100 years
old. The sugar maple lives to
500 years. Oaks live to $500
years, jumpers to 1000 years.
Oldest of the living trees, the
giant sequoias Of California live
to nearly 1000 years.
Living trees planted by George
Washington or under his direc-
ton at Mt. Vernon include tulip
trees, elms, pecans, hollies, lin
dens ands mulberries. Trees are
natural landmarks of many IA
nous people and historical
events. Many trees Of a long list,
perhaps 300 species, were planted
before the birth of the Oldest
living man today.
A family tree. or a tree for
each member of the family, as
preferred, makes a memorial of
lasting value.

is going to come down any day

I doubt if the swallows have

many who must drive into
Washington these fine, spring
days. My road is lined on each
side with dogwood and redbud
that is in full bloom. 1t is like
driving through a spring garden
almost all the way In.
Each spring it seems that the
dogwood bloom is heavier than
the last, and that there are
more splashes Of color in the
woods from the redbud.
This year our fence rows are
touched with color-in places, it
seems. where nothing bloomed

 The lake is to provide the stor- age reservoir for the initial phases of the giant hydro project and will have to be raised several feet by damming.
 A provisional water license has been granted and hearings at Atlin and later in Victoria will bear on the granting of perma- nent license.
 The Northwest plan, announced last year, was termed the biggest industrial news in Canada since the Ungava development in Lab rador.
 The plan involves watersheds III HUI LIlCll II o.A. dI1Q Ll1C SOQtllC1U Yukon.

Anaconda Opens Aluminium Plant

COLUMBIA FALLS, Mont, R -Anaconda Aluminium Go. took it's place yesterday as the nations fourth aluminium producer fol- lowing dedication of $65 million plant which will add 12O million pounds annually to this country's supply of that vital metal.
 When the plant was formally opened in ceremonies Monday, one of it's two long potlines all ready was in operation and en- ployment was up to 400. By Jan. l, the plant is expected to be in full operation.
 This marks new venture for Anaconda Co.,, the parent of the aluminium firm. It long has been leading producer of copper, as well as zinc, lead, manganese and other metals. But aluminium has developed into a major competi- tor of copper for many uses.
 Aluminium presently is in tight supply. A number of firms have announced they plan to enter the field, and further expansion is slated by present industry leaders.
 The plant feeds on power from Hungry Horse Dam seven miles to the southeast.

Medrash, which states that in the

he ruled over 1877 provinces. from
India to Ethiopia. In the third
year of his rsign. he presented a
feast. which lasted $50 days. All
the governors. military men. and

banquet. Wine flowed very freely.
