chainsaw this past March would win. The picture of it with
the hoar frost is known here in 1 Itu'on County because of the
story of the campaign to save it and 4 other elms, Any good
news story about trees is good however, and that fart that the
tree line Is In 1 'mon faulty Is a bonus! 1 hope people will

million trees by 21)15, After seeing how quickly trees can dis
appear from our landscape as they did in (ioderlrh we must
all ronlnlit to planting trees and supporting Trees Ontario is
