Tree Warden's Report
In harmony with the policy of the towns and organiz- ations all over the country, we planted for our five soldiers who died in the World war, five Memorial oaks, three at the monument grounds at Wilbraham, and two by the library at North Wilbraham.
Several of the schools planted Victory Trees, with appropriate exercises, that the children might remember the meaning of the victory of the World war.
