Be Careful When
You Get Your Tree
THERE IS A STATE LAW
AGAINST THE STEALING
OF CHRISTMAS TREES
FROM STATE OR PRI-
VATE LANDS
Each vear annroximately 1,500,-
000 Christmas trees are used In
Pennsylvania About 1,250,000
are used in the larger cities. and
250,000 in the smaller towns and
rural districts. Most of the trees
used in the larrer cities are im-
ported from New England and
Canada, while those used in the
small towns are usually cut in
nearby woods.
With Christmas less than a
mov away, it is important that
the citizens of Pennsylvania give
thought to the »roblem of
mas trees and other Yuletide
greens. The Department of For-
ests and Waters cautions the citi-
zens ~f Pennsylvania against the
unlawful cutting of Christmas trees
from privately owned woodlands.
Under the provisions of a new act
which pecame a law ~» April 27
1925. the cutting of trees and
shrubs on private property with-
out the owner’s consent is nish-
ed by a fine.
The new law reads:
“If any nrerson shall willfully o:
maliciously cut bark from, or cut
drwn, injure, destroy, or remove
a tree or trees, shrub or shrubs
or parts thereof, growing or stand-
ing upon the land of another
or shall wilfully or maliciously do
or cause to be done any other act
in
any magistrate, alderman, or
a summary proceeding before
jus-
ed to pay a fine of not less than
$25.00 and costs of prosecution
for each such tree or shrub or
part thereof cut down, injured
destroyed, removed, or from which
bark has been cut; and in default
of the payment of said fine and
costs shall be imprisoned in the
county jail one day for each dol-
lar of fine and costs unpaid.”
Last year a thousand trees were
stolen along a 5-mile stretch in
western Pennsylvania during the
two weeks prior to Christmas. Al-
ready one sees a considerable num
ber of automobiles passing along
the highways carrying Christmas
trees. No doubt some of these
have been taken from privately
owned land without the consent of
the owner. Some of the people
taking these trees may not know
Y about the new law. but it is im-
portant that they familiarize them-
selves with it so that they will not
