water oak. The tree,
only 50 feet tall, has a dia
metric spread of 110 feet.
During the depression the city
firemen decorated the tree
with colored lights and Span
ish moss and Christmas eve,
1929, as a switch was thrown,
the world's largest living tree
burst into bloom.
Continuing, Mrs. Nichol de
scribed the National Christ
mas tree, located in Kings
canyon, 64 miles east of Fres
no, Calif. On December 25,
1925, the famous General
Grant tree. Sequoia gigan
tean, or big tree, was desig
nated as the nations Christ
mas tree. It was a small tree
3,500 years ago, before the
birth of Christ, and was dis
covered by Joseph Thomas in
1867. To protect the tree, the
area was made into a park
and In 1940 the tree was of
ficially dedicated as National
Living Christmas tree. It
stands 267 feet high, 40 feet
in diameter at base, circum
ference is 107 feet at first
limb which Is 130 feet from
the ground.
Another tree mentioned is
the famous "Tree of Lights,"
sponsored by the Salvation
Army and Radio Station
KMOX in St. Louis, Mo.,
where Christmas carols and
services are broadcast. Also
of interest Is the giant spruce
in Rockefeller plaza in Radio
City in New York. At Christ
mas it Is strung with 6,000
twirling icicles 18 inches long
and 6500 colored bulbs, re
quiring six miles of wiring.

proach the area so the pas
sengers may view the tree.
