Dear Sir:— Probably the most profitable in­ vestment this village has eyer made is the small sum expended some years ago in planting shade trees along our streets. Even as fuel they are worth many times their cost and the citizens would not permit the removal of the trees for many times that value. Exeter is opening up new streets and while it is not practical to plant trees at the present time it is not too early to make plans. The writer would suggest that to facilitate the setting out of the trees in the early part of 1948, the following questions he settled, 1. Has any variety of tree been found more suited to the purpose than the hard maple? 2. Once the variety of tree is selected, have our town planners definite knowledge of the correct spacing? Opinions seemed to differ widely in the minds of our former citizens. 3. Having decided upon the in­ tervals has an estimate of the number been made? 4. Can these be obtained from a Department of Forestry, or will some other source have found? 5. Are the trees to be planted so that the roots will cause minimum of interference with drains? 6. Are the trees to fight it out with hydro and telephone wires or has some plan been made to avoid this? This is in no way offered in a spirit critical of a council which has the writer’s continued respect. Thanking you for the use of this space. to be the the Wood B. Helpful. Pentecostal W.M.S.

Her scrip­ ture was Is. 42 which was read al­ ternately. She brought out many wonderful truths regarding "Light.” How the light was brought into this world through the gospel and this wonderful light of salvation is for both Jews and Gentiles. Mrs. R. McDonald read a very touching story, "Andrew’s last night on earth.” A session of prayer took place with many requests as we know that God hears and answers prayer.
