hot ~3 September 29, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 33 Honor Roosevelt in Tree Planting Rites Next Month Representatives of the north shore Scout troops of the north shore towns will participate in the tree planting ceremony Saturday morning, October 27, at the Cabin-in-the-Woods as a memorial tribute to Theodore Roose- velt on the anniversary of his birthday. Forestry conservation and tree planting have become important phases in the community service of Scout troops all over the country. Members of the John Burroughs Boy Scout troop of Utica, N. Y., planted 3,000 trees in Roscoe Conkling Park in that city last spring. To provide future shade for their camp, Boy Scouts of Monroe, La., set out 5,000 long-leaf pine seedlings. The trees were planted '6 feet apart in trenches excavated by machines. This constitutes the record for the largest number of trees planted by Boy Scouts in Louisiana. The State For- estry department of Georgia distrib- uted 200 California redwood seedlings to Boy Scout Troops, schools and city parks to be planted for experimental purposes and to determine whether locations may be found in the State entirely suitable for their growth. Thousands of Boy Scouts in various parts of Pennsylvania are engaged in tree planting. Scouts of Shamokin, Pa. established a tree plantation of 1,000 white pines and 1,000 Scotch pines. The trees were obtained through the State department of for- ests and waters and distributed over a 5 acre tract. Boy Scouts of Watertown, N. VY, planted 10,000 trees in the vicinity of their Scout camp at Lake Bonaparte under the direction of John Keib, for- ester for the Northern New York Utilities. .

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat; who strives valiantly; who errs and may fail again and again, be- cause there is no effort without error and shortcoming, but who does actu- ally strive to do the deeds; who does know the great enthusiasm, the great devotion; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat," --by Theodore Roosevelt, in Boy Scout Bulletin. HONOR GEN. GRANT Two Boy Scouts, Tora Morgan and Stanley Grimm of Galena, Iii, General Grant's old home, recently gathered leaves from two trees, one on the General's birthplace and the other on his later Galena homestead, wove them into a wreath and last week deposited the token in the memorial tomb on Riverside Drive, New York City. AID CONVENTION VISITORS Despite a heavy rain which occurred on the first day of the convention of the National Real Estate board at Louisville, Ky.,; early in the summer, more than 200 uniformed Scouts were on hand to welcome. the visitors and to act as their guides.
