Blitz Tree Offer Meets With Success Requests for shioment of hahv Douglas Fir trees to any point on the globe have been pouring in at a rate of morp than 1 nnn Der dav since the annnunrpmpnt of this free Oregon Centennial promotion program, March 3, ac cording to C P "Cork" Mobley, puouc relations manager for Blitz-Weinhardt Brewing Com pany, sponsors of the project. Mobley said more than 8,000 requests had been received so far, after the initial announce ment. These asked to have the tiny trees sent to every state in the Union and to 50 foreign countries covering every sector of the globe-among them Arg entina, Australia, India, British East Africa, Japan, Liberia, Bali, all major countries of western Europe, and dozens of others. Strenuous efforts are under way to arrange some shipments be hond the Iron Curtain. Altogeth er, more than 200 trees will go abroad as a result of requests to date. Styling their project "Oregon Bandwagon," officials of Blitz Weinmardt hope other Oregon businesses and Industries will work out plans to publicize next year's Centennial exposition. Blitz' plan is to send one Doug las Fir seedling, free of charge, to any friend, relative or busi ness associate of an Oregon resi dent anywhere in the world. Each seedling is accompanied by a small leaflet entitled "Oregon Do-It-Yourself kit," and tells how to plant and care for the trees. The leaflet includes an in vitation to the Centennial. Replies to date have resulted entirely from advertisements which appeared in Oregon last I week. Still to come are adver tisements this week in New Yorker Magazine, and in the New York Times, April 6, both of which are expected to bring a new flood of requests for trees. Mobley said coupons for the trees are not necessary, but that letter requests will "also be hon ored. The treelets are being ship ped from the nursery of John Woods & Son, Salem.
