Join Arbor Day Foundation,receive ten free trees Everyone from Georgia who becomes a member of the Arbor Day Foundation in September will receive 10 free trees as part of the Foundation’s Trees for America campaign. Trees for America is a program dedicated to environmental stew ardship through the planting of trees by the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation. The 10 trees are eastern redbud, white pine, sugar maple, white flowering dogwood, pin oak, red maple, river birch, silver maple, northern red oak and Colorado blue spruce. “These trees were selected to provide benefits every season of the year in Georgia; lovely spring flowers, cool summer shade, spec tacular autumn colors and winter berries and nesting sites for song birds,” said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Foundation. “They will also add to the proud heritage of Georgia’s 125 Tree City USA communities. For more than 30 years. Tree City USA has supported community forestry across Georgia, and planting these trees will make this tree-planting tradition even stronger,” Rosenow said. The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting, between Oct. 15 and Dec. 10. The 6-12 inch trees are guaranteed to grow or they will be replaced free of charge. Planting instructions are enclosed with each shipment of trees. New members of the Arbor Day Foundation also receive The Tree Book, which includes information about three planting and care. To receive the 10 free trees, send a $10 membership contribution to Ten Trees, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Ave., Nebraska City, NE 68410 by Sept. 30, or join online at www.arborday.org.

That high-paying job we’ve been working so hard to get might be incredibly stressful, or the mortgage and upkeep on our dream home might put us in the poorhouse. In short, the things we think we want sometimes turn out to be very heavy burdens, and can even lead to our com plete undoing. With this in mind, it is wise to take some time to clarify our val ues, and then to rethink what we value most in life. Be honest with our self. Do we value our family more than our job? How much time do we spend with our family and how much time do we spend at work? Do we value compassion and caring for others? If so, how is this reflected in our everyday life? Do we value and serve God, and if so, how? Take some time to really reflect on our values, and then ask whether what we are wishing for is truly a reflection of these values. Conversely, ask our self what our wishes say about our values. Perhaps then, the more important question is not what we want, but what we should want. There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. R.S.V.
