The Wingham Hor-

50 more young trees around
town this summer.
Hoy Bennett of the society
attended the meeting of town
council Monday night to ask
permission for the planting
as well as a grant from the
town. Council endorsed the
idea gladly, and agreed to
donate $500, the same as last
year. Mr. Bennett said the
society picked up the
balance of the $1,650 bill for
purchase and planting.
He reported that last year
30 Norway maples and 20 red
maples were planted around
the town, but noted that no.
planting had been done for
several years previous while
old trees continued to come
down at the rate of 35 to 40
per year, "so we have some
catching up to do".
