Presidents of the vari- ous State socleties here have been | asked by Representative 8ol Bloom, Democrat, of New York, director gen- eral of the commission, to participate in this program. | C.Marshall Finnan, superintendent of the National Capital Parks, is co- operating in this plan, officials as- serted.

Writing to presidents of the vari- ous States here, Representative Bloom declared: “One of the activities to be fea- tured during the Constitution Sesqui-~ centennial Celebration is the plant~ ing of trees as a tribute to the Con- stitution of the United States. Through the co-operation of the Na- tional Park Service of the Depart- ment of the Interior, & portion of the George Washington Memorial Park- way on the Virginia side of the Po- tomac, opposite Roosevelt Island, has been selected for tree planting by the State Bocieties of the 13 Original States, now organized in the District of Columbia, * * * “This tree planting program will give your society members now resid- ing here in Washington a definite pert in & Constitution program which will be & feature of your State activi- ties, especially if the ratification date or some outstanding date in your State history is selected as the date for the service here.” Commission officials commented on the fact that slthough Rhode Island was the last State to ratify the Con- stitution, delaying this until May 29, 1790, more than a year following George Washington's inauguration as President of the United States, the first to reply to Representative Bloom's invitation is Rhode Island. Mrs. Daniel J. Heffernan, president of the Rhode Island State Society, has sppointed Miss Marion Shaw of 1527 New Hampshire avenue (o be & subcommittee to secure further de- tails. In his letter, Representative Bloom declared that “C. Marshall Pinnan, superintendent, National Capital Parks in Washington, is co-operating with the Oonstitution Commission and has assigned a section of the parkway for this sesquicentennial ac- tivity. Mr. Pinuan will also arrange for the proper time for the tree plant- ing ceremonies, and will assist any State in making the selection of a tree.” BECAUSE IT LASTS LONGER “ITS REASONABLE PRKCE, WILL SURPRISE YOU BAYERSON OIL ngK CoLUMBIA 522 NATIONALLY ADVERTISED BUILDING PRODUCTS Screen Doors that will net warp or sag? “Huttig’s” finest quality doors are superbly manufactured of soft textured Ponderosa Pine to give you years of satisfactory service!
