luncheon.
Yes, this was a sacred oc
casion, which no guest will ever
forget for History lives on in the
hearts of men, down through the
ages.
Speaking of trees, we feel, that
perhaps, as men so frequently
do, that they just decided to cut
the trees, which have been in the
City Square, down, and get them
out of the way. Well, first let
us remember that ONLY GOD
can make a tree, and even then
it takes more years than a hu
man can live. . .so naturally the
ladies, and men who understood
were “down-right FLABERGAS
TED”, as Uncle Josh would say
. . .as were many men who re
member some 38 years ago. . .
that a Mayor, it is said, got a
crew of men and cut down, in the
darkness of night every tree on
the streets of this beautiful city.
Floyd street is one of the pre
ttiest in Georgia right now. Ev
erywhere we go people will, when
we mention Covington, say “They
will never forget that street wh
ere the trees meet over it, be
cause of its beauty”. Well, the
story, as told to us was that the
man living across the street from
the First Baptist Church heard a
noise outside, grabbed his shot
gun, andwhenhe cracked the front
door open. . .what did he see?
Men cutting on the tree right in
front of the house and a great
mass of men coming with axes.
He leveled his shot gun. . .(so the
story was told to us) and said
"cut one more lick on that tree
and I*ll shoot you down.” Well,
needless to say that is why Floyd
Street still has its trees.
Los Angeles. . .Atlanta and all
large cities are suffering from
smog. . .why? Because the trees
have been cut down to make way
for business . • . they somehow
protect the earth from smog.
Trees are one of our greatest
assets. If you take the Atlanta
Journal, you will have read the

Spaulding. He has been trying
to impress upon all towns the
importance of making way for
buildings around the trees and
not cutting them down. Towns
can be planned around these pri
celess trees and they pay us by
clearing the atmosphere of pol
lution which would eventually kill
us.
Sometimes we cut off our nose

but when we make a great mist
