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.
