Shade Trees
To Be Sold
From Stocks

A new kind of stockpile will
help the u. S. beat the dwindling
supplies of a great natural re-
source - mature shade trees for
the home landscape.
The stockpile is for home own

for saplings to grow up to enjoy
the beauty and shade of lush
trees.
Davey tree experts now are col
lecting good-siZed trees on a pro
duction line basis for stocking or

trees are balled and burlapped
and ready for transplanting al

The first of such big tree col

Others are planned for the East

From time to time in this space,
l propose to pay tribute to the
old folks 4. the people who are
now living in quiet, peaceful re-
tirement, but who not so many
years ago were the leaders OF
this community.
All too often we forget the old
timers; but if we would just stop
and think a moment, we would
realize what an important part
they have played in shaping our
lives today.
And so, I am forming the
Brooke Johns "Sixty Club" Mem
bership in this club is open only
to those who are sixty, and over.
We hear a lot about the dynamic
young kids who are inventing the
machines, running the govern
ment, and operating big business.
And that is as it should be.
But all too often there are some
wonderful people, past sixty, who
are out of the limelight. / want
to correct this.
Today l nominate two well
known Montgomery County peo-
pie for the Sixty Club: Mr.. and
Mrs. Jason Hoyle of Olney.
Jason is now SO years old, but
still very active in everything
that is going on around him, and
believe me, lot is going on these
days in Olney.
1t was a sunny day in 1898 that
Jason walked down the aisle of
the Travilah Church with Mat
tie Hughes, who has been Mrs.
Hoyle all of these So years. And
two finer people you will never
meet.
But Jason didn't walk very far
down that aisle before he was
stopped. 1t seems that in the ex-
element he had walked off wear
ing his brothers top hat.
However, after this was straigh-
tened out latter all, hats were an
important piece of apparel in
those days. the new Mr.. and Mrs.
