ROADS OF REMEMBRANCE 119 



In Indiana the Women's Clubs plan to set out Mem 

 orial Trees along every mile of the Lincoln Highway in its 

 course across the state. Richard Bennett of Wisconsin 

 has planted 70 trees along the 70 rods of highway which 

 touch his property. This is the unique individual effort 

 thus far recorded with the Association. 



Brooklyn, New York, has undertaken a memorial 

 highway as an important part of a great civic improve 

 ment, which means making over a large part of the muni 

 cipality. One thousand trees have been planted at 

 Middletown, Ohio. Chattanooga is lining the road with 

 trees as it approaches the city from each direction. 

 Ware County, Georgia, has given the highway an eight 

 mile planting. The Jefferson and Dixie highways will 

 become Roads of Remembrance to an extent in keeping 

 with the development of the Lincoln Highway. 



At Paducah, Kentucky, 2000 memorial trees, lining a 

 Victory Road, have been set out by the McCracken 

 County Historical Society, which undertook to provide 

 a tree for each man and woman of the county who 

 answered the call of the flag. Mobile has a memorial 

 highway five miles long. In Lake County, Florida, the 

 Park Commission's planting of Roads of Remembrance 

 covers the entire county. Minneapolis has connected 

 two parks by a memorial boulevard lined with trees for 

 its full length of seven miles. 



In Great Britain the Road of Remembrance Associa 

 tion is urging that all memorials be given the proper 

 setting on Roads of Remembrance or on memorial avenues 

 leading to such highways. 



Beautification of the great highways goes hand in 

 hand with the memorial tree planting.
