Dunbar The Rough and Ready 4-H Club is a very active and delightful bunch of youngsters, They certainly prooved this statement last weekend. On Wednesday of last week they planned their current activities. One of these was Friday evenings get together to clean up the west side of the new Post Office entryway.

John then dedicated their tree to the community, Their pledge of Head, Heart, Health, and Hands to their club, community, and country had really been. fulfilled, Following John's dedication of the 4-H tree the Rough and Ready Chamber: of Commerce dedicated the living Christmas Tree presented by the: Chamber to the community. The tree was expensive and the entire community is helping out with some very welcome cash contributions. Fay Dunbar did the Christmas Tree dedication, This was followed by punch and cookes served on the porch of the new post office by the Chamber. Mmes, Helen Brown and Jrene Lanzendorfer handled the preparation and serving of the nefestimenta, : The Christmas Tree dedication included a history of Rough and Ready's outdoor Christmas Trees, thanks to the many who had helped with the venture, and the story of the four important Rough and Ready trees of that immediate area, The very first outdoor tree was lighted by Mrs. Lisetta Scheave on the porch of the old Market Center building on the Christmast of 1955, Lisetta operated an antique shop in the building, Her efforts have continued each year since to see that a Community Tree was lighted. In 1958 with the forming of the chamber of commerce, Charles Deardorf, whose real estate office was where the '66' station is now, became active in this effort, By 1967 it had really become an established tradition and Mr, Jack Bixler, Mr. William Bursill, and I (still encouraged each year by Lisetta) took on this chore. Sometimes it has been a real chore to get a nice tree. When the new post office's lovely planter corner became available Chamber President Orin Brown appointed William Bursill to investigate a living tree, He selected a beauty, It's a 15 year old Norwegian Spruce (Excelsa Picea Abies) and it is not only beautiful on Christmas but is a "most elegant" tree for all seasons. Chamber Vice President Allan Brown, neighbor Harold Brown, Past Chamber President Donald Long, and neighbor Frank Laughlin hauled in top soil and prepared and planted the tree. It is in truth.a Community Tree, Directly across from this new. beauty once stood. the Historic Giant that fell in 1962 at the age of 111 years, It seems impossible that our infant could ‘live up to this illustrious history but we won't be here 100 years from now to know. The old Giant grew to about 75 feet in height from a slim Cottonwood * switch stuck in the ground by Slave Girl Caroline Allan way back in 1851, She was making one of her weekly tippling trips to the Downey House Saloon from the old English Mine back over the hill toward Deer Creek, Evidently her lazy little donkey didn’t need encouragement to go home. The soil by the old blacksmith shop where she always tied him was.damp and the switch rooted and just: grew and grew. It later seen back on the hill above the town, Caroline died in Nevada City early in this century. The last of the four interesting trees in that spot is the old Cork Elm in whose shade the new dogwood should thrive, This tree was planted by W. H. Fippin (the blacksmith), John Fippin, Jr., and "Slim" Lopes, No one seems sure of the exact year but from various comments on relative ages.I judge it to have been probably 1897, The tree is not native to this area, It was brought here from the eastern part of our country, Its botanical name is Ulmus Racemosa and its native habitat ‘is "Quebec to Wisconsin", About 40 years ago it developed disease and the: state highway department took over its care, Again three years ago it got some pretty rough treatment to clear up the siseased leaves, The highway department has.advised that the small garden could pay for future problems but. we'll just have to hope they don't develop. “ Chamber of Commerce meeting last: Thursday completed their Secession Day plans, It looks like a really good celebration.is in store for Sunday.June 27, The food and fun will both be bigger and better than ever.
