Apr. 25 there was quite a
gathering of folks from this
area at the Huron Township
dump site on the sixth con-
cession west in Huron
Township. The occasion was
a tree planting by the
members of the Beavers,
Cubs,- Scouts, and Venturers
along with their parents and
group\leaders, Each boy was
to bring along a parent as his,
as:,eiant or director. So with
45 members hi the above
groups there would be
perhaps 45 parents. This
would make a planting screw
of 90 or more and they made
short work of getting the 1500
white pine trees in the
ground. They started at nine
in the` morning and were
finished in one hour.
