OUR FRONT COVER— In Honor of the George Washington Bi-Centennial 



1932 marks the bi-centennial of our first President, and it is going to be 

 observed in every municipality wliere tliere is an organized patriotic grout) 

 or committee. Many states liave already appointed Commissions to make 

 adequate preparations. . '\-f^. 



The celebration will begin on Washington's Birthday. February 22nd. i932 

 and continue until Thanksgiving Day. The principal events in the life of hfm 

 who was always "first in the hearts of his countrymen" will be duly commem- 

 orated on the proper dates, especially in those communities which were the 

 scene of Washington's activities during the War of the Revolution. 



A most appealing program is that of the .American Tree .Association, who are 

 making arrangements to plant ten million trees, stretching across the Continent. 

 Ten million green monuments to the memory of the "Father of his Country," 



planted in native soil by the hands of thousands of citizens interested in planting: 

 This program carries on, as it were, one of the customs of the Washington 



family at Mount Vernon. 'Visitors were usually invited to plant trees and 



shrutjs as mementoes of their stay, and on the grounds of the estate today, may 

 ■be seen many trees and shrubs planted by America's most famous sons, and by 



many distiHguished foreigners. 



Another interesting event of the celebration will be the completion at an 



earlv date, of the "Road to Remembrance" to Mount Vernon. This drive 



along the Potomac ends in a great circle at the entrance gates, where a large 



number of .American Elms have just been transplanted. 



The scene shown on our cover, depicts an afternoon party at Mount Vernon, 



on the spacious green lawns fronting the Potomac River.
