College Expert Urges Tree Planting Program A College expert urged counties and municipalities to plant large tracts of forest land as “living me-i morials” to World War II dead. Victor Beede, head of the fores try department, commended the Pennsylvania Forestry Associa tion for its tree planting program, and proposed forest tracts and parks t othose organizations finan cially able to establish larger me morials. For individuals who wish to plant a single tree in memory of a lost husband, father or son, the College forester suggested the plantingbe done on April 9, which is Arbor Day.- Beede praised trees and forests as war memorials because of their symbolic beauty, and their worthy contributions .to the recreational and educational facilities of fu ture generations. He pointed out that plaques listing the names of the war dead can be erected on the site.
