Help Citizens of the Other 4 ^ State? Across the Fir Curtain Into Oregon! F WTiaf Aas happened up till note: Thanks to your help the Keep The World GreeJi project was a huge success; the World has never looked so good. Over 6 3 ,0 0 0 Oregon Kirs were sent to people in every one of the 48 states—and to 80 foreign countries by history’s first Fir-lift. So now the tree shipping season is over until next Fall (trees have seasons just like strawberries or apples). You’ll be able to send trees again in Novem ber, u e ’ll let you know. Meanwhile, we can all take a breather, can't we? No, we can’t. Time, tide and the Centennial wait for no man. I t’s not enough to send out trees, we’ve got to bring in people. p »3000?

They'll end up /noting California, Texas, or some otb**r dreadful place instead of our breath taking, Cascade-studded, ocean-fronted Oregon. What are we waiting for?
