.MunSOn
Planting
Is Success

MUNSON - Success crowned
the initial efforts of the Mems
Club of MunSon in their tree
planting program. On Saturday
March 29th the first of the 174
Floribunda Towering crab ap-
pie trees were ready for deliv-
cry and planting.
The Geauga Hills Garden Club
were so impressed by the posi-
bilitieS of such a project that
they offered their financial as
sistance to make the project
more effective in it's first year
This additional help made the
t otal quantity considerably
greater than was originally plan
ned.
The idea started out as a me-
thod of beautifying the township
by arranging for the planting OF
a single ornamental variety OF
trees which would gradually be,
come the feature of that area
of Geauga County.
The Mems Club is a nou-profit
organization and as money is
raised by a variety of methods
new projects are developed fol
the benefit of the community. Ir
the case of the tree planting
program, it was decided the
MunSon group would pay hall
the cost of the Towering crab
trees if the property owners
would pay the balance. The only
restriction imposed was tha'
they be planted where they car
best be seen by the creates
number of visitors to the town
ship. Primarily this was a mat
ter of planting between the new
road limits established by the
county planning commission anc
the homes involved. For appear
ances sake it has been suggest
ed that each tree be placed il
a strategic location, avoiding
the straight line planting tha
might reduce the visibility a.
well as the beauty of the tree!
when they reach their rich full
coloring in the spring.
The committee working on the
project was headed by Walter
| HirSt- Mavfield Road who frs
brought the Identification plal
to the attention of the Men,
Club. Birch MATHEWS, and Me
johnson were other members o
the committee.
Proceeds from the Sprinj
Dance being sponsored by tn,
Mems Club Of Munson on Ma,
3rd will be used to further thi
and similar projects in the town
ship.

public schools.

salary during the initial stages
of the program.
In making this contribution

out one phase of its continuous
broad program to control TB
and improve community health; !;
namely, studying and promoting

departments and other tax-sup-
ported agencies"
In her typical down-to-earth
talk, Mrs. Robertson will draw
on her own broad experience to
give practical examples of how
community action coordinated
with improved dietary know

science can bring about longer
