CHILDREN SPARE THE TREES
Editorial Louis Blake Duff
[The Welland Tribune and Telegraph, 20 March 1924]
The Parks Superintendent reports that recently planted trees in Merritt Park have been interfered with, presumably by small boys. This conclusion is arrived at by the fact that the damage was done with a jack-knife.
Apart from showing very bad manners this is an act of wanton destruction. The trees were purchased by the Board of Parks Management and planted as part of their scheme in the beautification of the city, and yet for no apparent reason certain boys have seen fit to tear them up and destroy them.
The parks of Welland are being developed and beautified for the boys. The parks are really theirs.
Boys, you should look after your own parks and see that not a thing is harmed.
