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

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

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.

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.
