Tree Planting Program Reviewed Hertford's master plan of street tree planting was re viewed lait wk by member! of the citizens' committee pro moting the project. Since its start a few years ago, great progress has been made in many areas of the city and the plantings are beginning to be an interesting and promis ing sight, the committee de clares. Robert A. Johnson, promo tion chairman for the project and other committee mem bers point out that the tree planting is designed to make Mcdford a city of beautiful avenues of trees. The varie ties of trees are chosen by landscape architects after careful consideration and planning, giving thought to the type of tree which will provide the most complemen tary setting for homes and those which present the few est problems in maintenance and puhlic nuisance value Under this plan, citizens are receiving, without cost, the services of landscape ar chitects whose plans will in crease the value of their prop erty and make of Medford, one day, a city of beautifully landscaped streets, tne com mittee stresses. Charm to Garden "Trees give a garden its churm-a community its char acter" is a favorite quotation of those interested in the project. ine mosi impressive siii.-i.-t plantings are those having only one species or variety on each street, it is pointed out. For this reason, the city ad ministration has made it il legal for residents to plant any other than the tree speci fied by the city In the park strip, or on city-controlled property. In order that the plantings may be preserved, there is a city ordinance which prohib its anyone from removing trees from a parking strip without first securing permis sion from city authorities. Neighborhoods are organiz ing as a means of carrying out the plan on their streets. Mr. Johnson and his commit tee reported that an outstand- ing example of this has been achieved on Winchester and Ml. Pitt avenues, and on Mur ray street, under the chair manship o Fred Scars. Paul Scarlet Hawthorncs have say the enthusiasts, this sec been planted, and one day, tion of the city will be an oasis of color when the trees are in bloom. Planted 163 Trees Mr. Sears and his neighbors planted 163 trees this year, adding to those already in the ground, and further plantings oil Murray are planned for fall. Working with him were Mr. and Mrs. Hichard Jew ett, Edgar A. Kupillas, Mrs. William C. Tyccr, and Al Bradford, a city councilman. Another example of neigh borhood eflort is to be found in the Garfield-Jefferson tract south of Stewart avenue. A committee headed by Kanny Smith, have accomplished a planting "that in two or three years will be a joy to the resi dents of Whitman, Jasper and Ivy" it was stated. Mr. Scars, aided by Mrs. E. H. Pesenti, Mrs. Arnold Operand and Mrs. Forler, organized the neighborhood to plant friiillesH mulberry trees, as recommended by the city More than a hundred have been planted. Those working on the tree planting project call on their neighbors, use the telephone or confer over the coffee cups. Girl Scouts and Camp Fire Girls have aided by distribut ing literature, available from the city; leaders made follow up calls. Girl Scouts Help King street, south of Da kota avenue, was launched by Girl Scouts in this manner on a planting of Modesto ash trees. Mrs. Roland Hubbard organized a planting of flow ering cherry trees on Fair view place, and Mrs. James Dunlevy organized her neigh bors on Ardmore avenue to plant Norway maples. On South Groveland avenue, Paul Jorgenson encouraged h i s neighbors to set out the NEW HOURS EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY 8:30 TO 9:00 P.M. Chsed Sundiys UmU,, Maj at, ':Mk w40 v. 4 V i . Wives of men important in the Oregon State Elks asiocialion were among the hundreds who attended a champagne style show and party Friday afternoon at the Armory, The event was the main social function planned in connection with the annual style convention of the Elks association. which opened here Wednesday. Shown here are (left to right) Mrs. Frank Wheeler Burns, wliose husband Schwedler maples chosen by the landscape experts. A sizable planting of Kwan- zan cherries were planted on Lenore avenue through the efforts of women living on the street. Mrs. Homer Young worked for the planting of Daybreak cherries on O'Gara, and Lou Cranston organized his street, Siskiyou boule vard, to plant sweet gum trees. Chairman Johnson and Ed ward Parsons worked on the planting of tri-colored beech es on the east side of Valley View drive and Huhl Way. As the program expands and interest Is increased, real estate agents, builders and those promoting sub-divisions are cooperating. George Field has been responsible for planting trees on Morrison street and along a canal which borders two blocks of the Murphy road tract, south of Barnett road. Blending of Color Mrs. Fred Lorish, one of the landscape architects working on the master plan," chose the fruitless mulberry for Morrison street and the canal strip is planted to birch, pine, flowering cherry and sweet gum. It is said that the blending of fall and spring color in this section will be exceptionally beautiful. Business men and property owners are carrying out the plan in the downtown area. The committee called atten tion to trees planted by the Groceteria and by Stanley Jones, who planted trees on his property on Fifth street. The Medford Bottling works and the Texaco service sta tion on Grape street planted Scanlan maples, chosen by the experts for this street and John McCabe, who construct ed a new building at the cor ner of Grape and Fourth streets for the use of federal agencies, planted the Modesto ash and Scanlan maples near the building. Incorporated Into Plan Attention was also called to the fact that at the site of The Mail Tribune's new press building on Grape street, planters for trees were incor porated into the building area, and the recommended trees are to be used. Also noted were the plant ings on South Holly street and Eleventh and Twelfth Mjjt Apdisowiions I drug ctkme 1 SSoo Obits' mm streets near St. Mary's acad emy. A committee headed by William Dugan promoted the project, using the Scanlan maples on Holly, Thunder bird plums on Eleventh, and Modesto ash trees on Twelfth. Others in the area are also planting these tres. The committee also called attention to the beauty of the fully grown trees planted in years past by individuals. The pin oaks on Queen Anne ave nue were given as an out standing example. However, it was noted that the planting is somewhat marred by the fact that other trees, which do not blend well, were also used and that they were not properly spaced. The pin oaks ichieve their full beauty in a planting such as that at Hill crest orchard, the Parsons property on Hillcrcst road, where proper placement and spacing has been achieved. In the autumn, scores of valley residents motor by the or chard in order to sec the oaks. It is difficult for many per sons to visualize how large a tree will be in future years, it is stressed, and in the eager ness for speedy effect or quick shade, the planting is too crowded. The untrained individual lacks the vision of a landscape architect who can imagine what the even tual result will be, it is said. Master Plan Those coordinating the mas ter plan are thinking ahead to a "massive picture" the committee states. Many van eties were selected in order that the picture will not be monotonous. If disease should strike one type of tree, the entire area will not be wiped out. Blending of color and form are taken into consid eration. Main thoroughfares are lined with formal trees. growing slender and tall in order not to interfere with traffic. Anyone interested in devel oping a plan in any area is asked to call the office of Mayor John Snider, and in formation may be obtained from his secretary. It is also pointed out that a plan where by trees may be dedicated has been worked out by the mayor. A plaque will be pro vided by the mayor, and sta tistics concerning the dedica tion of the tree will be re corded in a book which will be a permanent record of the project. Residents Attend Christening Event Hornbrook - Mr. and Mrs. Edward Smith, accompanied by their daughter and her family, Mr. and Mrs. Albert !

Jones, Ashland, wife of the third vice-president. The women are wearing leis presented by William Ruck, a past exalted ruler of the Medford lodge. The convention of the Oregon State Elks association brought several hundred visitors to the city last week, and fame, of sorts, to Pal Peg. When Wrex W. Cruse, publicity chairman for the order, came in to the news room Saturday morning he greeted our Peg with a big smile and said "you are the first woman ever to sit on the platform during a convention of the Elks association in Oregon." He added philosophically that "there always has to be a first for everything." Peg, who hadn't meant to break any rules or bring her self any fame, went to the convention session as a reporter. After obtaining several copies tlie session from the secretary, a table on the platform was pointed out as a convenient place to take notes. No one made her move once the sessions started, so she just sat. We hope the style show staged for the state convention was enjoyed, because it was a major effort. Although the society editor didn't have time to see the entire show, the first half was exciting. The set ting was particularly colorful, with a big glittering clock in black and silver forming a backdrop for the glamorous models and the runway was lined with The event was a champagne tea and fashion spree. Mrs. Ronald Ricketts, a fashion picture in black and white, was commentator. Before the first models went down the runway, William Ruck, a past exalted ruler of the Med ford lodge, introduced the wives of important lodge officials and hung a lei of blossoms from Hawaii around each wom an's shoulders. Then he gave each a warm kiss on the cheek. When he came to Mrs. J. H. Moore, wife of the president of the Oregon association of Elks, Mr. Ruck started to kiss her check, changed his mind, turned her face a bit and gave her a quick smack on the lips. Mrs. Moore, quite unflustered by all this attention, smiled and made a pretty little speech. A little squib in the New York Times noted that Caroline Kennedy, two-year-old daughter of presidential Candidate John Kennedy is learning to "plane, "good-by and "New according to the Times, to trying out "Maryland" and doubt mastered the last two And now that the subject wonder whatever became of Theresa Inglin, exchange tending school in Medford this year, talked for Zonta club last Thursday, along with a group of other Medford High school girls.
