CAPHGN 0 SHVE DOEHOOD OPENED Success of Drive in Last Two Years Brings Hopes for Flower’s Preservation. achieved remarkable suc- during the past in Washington. and having spread from here throughout the Nation, the cam paign for preservation of flowering dogwood will be called to the atten tion of the Washington public again this season, in order that those who may not have been here before, may be urged to fall in line with the new splrit of the day. Surprising growth of the idea of saving this beautiful flowering tree resulted during the past two vears, as other communities and States learn- ed of the changing attitude on the part of the Washington public, and the possibility of preserving the Springtime beauty of woods and countryside. Today the programs developed here by the Wildflower Preservation So- clety, and the Natlonal Capital com- mittee of the Garden Club of Amer. ca, which co.operated in the cam- paign, are swinging into ac numerous parts of the United The total benefits which eventually will result from the campaigns here and their spread throughout the ountry, officials of the two organiza- tions here feel will be incalculable. Public Has Backed Project. Tt is not with any spirit of criticism of the Washington public that the campaign will be brought in to| the city this vear. it was emphasized | by Mrs. Frank B. Noves. chairman | of the National Capital committee of the Garden Club of The public, she feels, has responded splendidly to the appeal. Strangers new arrivals and children who are growing up may not have heard of the preservation idea, Mrs. Noyes be- lieves, and should have the matter presented to carry on the spirit al ready so_enthusiastically developed. P. L. Ricker, president of the Wild flower Preservation Society, is con- | stantly receiving additional reports from varfous sections of the country which are not only begging Washing ton for any additional material to be used in their campaigns, but are de. veloping ideas of their own to for- ward the cause. Snapshots and photo graphs of devices, signs and other means have been forwarded already to Mr. Ricker from States near and far. The campaign here this year will follow somewhat the same' lines of | the first two years. It will present | the dogwood appeal directly to the | public through several agencies. It | will go into the schools, where, through the medium of nature study | classes. the lessons will be impressed upon receptive minds of growing | children. | Other States’ Action. The first parts of the country to open their campaigns this vear, ac- | cording to reports to Mr. Ricker, were | those somewhat farther south than | Washington. where already the dog- wood has been in full bloom. North | Carolina, which is sald to have a| beautiful growth of the tree: Missis- | sippi, Georgla and Kentucky, where | it is also in need of preservation, | have already started their campaigns. | Many other States elsewhere in sec- | tions where the tree grows are plan ning action. | The wave of the movement will come north with the Spring. and the | turning of the dogwood from its greenish _white to lovely creamy it is estimated, the trees here snould be attaining their most beautiful stage, as the campaign to protect them from despoilation vipping off of branche destruction again opens.

The $50,000 United Palestine Appeal banquet will be held May 13 at the New Willard, instead of May 10, as originally planned, it was announced yesterday by Isidore Hershfleld, chair- man of the campaign. The shift of dates was made neces- sary through the inability of Dr. Stephen S. Wise, head of the national Palestine drive, to be in Washington May 10, which is the date set for the presentation to the famous rabbi of a gold medal as a reward for “distin- guished services rendered American Jewry during the past year.” The medal is conferred yearly by the Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity. The Washington drive will end as scheduled on May 10, when, it is ex pected, the $50.000 goal will have been attained. Bialik, the Hebrew national poet, who is to be the other honor guest of the banquet, will visit the Capital for a few days before the ban- quet. Extensive preparations for his entertainment are now under way Marked success is meeting t forts of the wor in the drive in securing contributions, it was said.
