Project Tree-mendous under way
Project Tree-mendous is
underway in Marietta, and
the crew expects to plant
about 100 trees this year,
before the frost.
Although the Susque-
hanna Times incorrectly
ran a .‘‘Free trees’
headline over last week's
Tree-mendous story, the
trees actually cost $10
each.
The reason the trees cost
money, despite the $50,000
Federal grant, is that only
$3000 is projected to be left
for actually buying the
plants when wages and
other expenses have been
paid. The ten dollar
donation covers not only
the tree itself, but all the
work of installing it and
caring for it for one year.
The tree crew will even
water the trees for that
period.
If you haven't requested
a tree yet, your chances of
getting one this year are
slim. Well over 100 orders
have been placed already.
Kids see fire equipment
Also, trees will not be
planted in anyone’s back
yard, at least not this year.
Street-facing trees have
priority.
Two varieties are being
bought in bulk, and there-
fore at low prices: sugar
maples and red oaks.
Mariettians can order other
species, but must pay the
full retail nursery cost of
the tree is they do. If you
want two trees, the second
will run you $20.
Student at Zion checks out Pioneer Co. fire-fighting equipment. Earlier in the
day, Riverview kids got a look at the equipment.
The kids at Zion Luther-
an Nursery School hosted
the Marietta Pioneer Fire
Company last week, as part
of Fire Prevention Week.
Kenneth Geesey, Pete
Barton, and Hal McKain
brought out a fire engine
and a squad truck for the
childrens’ inspection, and
they demonstrated the
many pieces of equipment
that firemen use to save
lives and property. Besides
the ordinary boots, hoses,
and axes, the kids were
shown more exotic oxygen
masks, radios, and walkie
-talkies. The biggest treat
was helping the (fire
fighters spray the parking
lot with a real fire hose.
After answering the
curious kids’ queries,
Messers. Geesey, Barton,
and McKain handed out
brochures for the childrens’
parents, which explained
how to prevent fire in the
home, and general safety.
The Zion Nursery School
teaches children aged three
to five.
DID YOU HEAR?
George Pullman, who
eventually made a fortune
manufacturing swank rail-
road cars, didn’t do too
well on the first try: his
initial car was too large to
enter a station or go under
most bridges. Broke, he
still had enough faith in his
own ingenuity to go into
hock and build a smaller
one, which made his
fortune.
Trees will be planted
first around the square,
then the crew will move
down Market Street into
the business district. If all
the ordered trees are
planted there that were
ordered this year, they will
start on the ‘*‘Minor collec-
tors,”” the main traffic
routes feeding the primary
collector of Market Street.
These streets are: Gay,
Decatur, and Waterford.
At a meeting last week
in the Community House,
crew chief Tom Lavin
stated that the crew is
planting about four trees
per day. Since about 25
days are left till the frost, it
follows that about 100 trees
will get planted this year.
It was brought out at the
meeting that the Bicenten-
nial Committee will donate
several hundred dollars. to
Project Tree-mendous.
According to Mr. Lavin,
many residents feel the
project is starting at a bad
time, since the borough
recently notified 90 people
that they must fix their
sidewalks.
Money left over after the
project will be refunded or
used to plant trees in
Memorial Park.
The tree crew is not
responsible for damages
they might inadvertently
cause to property.
Tree committeemen are
Rev. Red, Bob Spangler,
Ken Ross, Jay Roberts,
Harry Hartman, and
Harold Kulman.
