Newlyn Tree Planting
At a meeting held this week at Newlyn it was decided to celebrate Victory Day by extending the avenue of trees along the road near Newlyn tennis court.
The trees, evergreen oak, are being obtained from Creswick nursery and a working bee is to be held on the morning of Victory Day to dig the holes.
In the afternoon the planting will be carried out by adults and children under the supervision of a small but energetic committee.
The distribution of medals (the design of which and also the number supplied have been subjected to much criticism) will then be made.
The children will be further catered for, a sports program having been drawn up.
