boys who went abroad but did not return—memorials in the form of living
trees which provide recreational areas and provide a useful part in the
erowing national interest in the anchoring of our soil and the restoration
_of our waning natural resources. Other projects include the building of
lakes in areas where lakes are a rarity, or the establishment of parks and
other recreational areas.

“One plan is to establish roadside picnic areas, beautified by fine
plantings of shrubs and trees, with good water and arrangements for
barbecues. Another is the establishment of a sanctuary for wild birds, and
still another the setting up a series of areas for the propagation of wild
game. One city project provides for the planting of trees along its prin-
cipal streets.”
