Writing to presidents of the vari
ous States here, Representative Bloom
declared:
“One of the activities to be fea
tured during the Constitution Sesqui
| centennial Celebration la the plant
ing of trees as a tribute to the Con
stitution of the United States.
Through the co-operation of the Na
tional Park Service of the Depart
ment of the Interior, a portion of the
George Washington Memorial Park
way on the Virginia side of the Po
tomac, opposite Roosevelt Island, has
been selected for tree planting by the
State Societies of the 13 Original
States, now organized in the District
of Columbia. * * •
"This tree planting program will
give your society members now resid
ing here in Washington a definite
part in a Constitution program which
will be a feature of your State activi
ties, especially II the ratification date
or some outstanding date In your State
history 1s selected as the date for the
service here.”
Commission officials commented on
the fact that although Rhode Island
was the last State to ratify the Con
stitution, delaying this until May 29,
1790, more than a year following
George Washington’s Inauguration as
President of the United States, the
first to reply to Representative
Bloom’s invitation Is Rhode Island.
Mrs. Daniel J. Heflernan, president
of the Rhode Island State Society,
has appointed Miss Marion Shaw of
1627 New Hampshire avenue to be a
subcommittee to secure further de
tails.
In his letter, Representative Bloom
declared that "C. Marshall Finnan,
superintendent. National Capital
Parks in Washington, is co-operating
with the Constitution Commission
and has assigned a section of the
parkway for this sesquicentennlal ac
tivity. Mr. Finnan will also arrange
for the proper time for the tree plant
ing ceremonies, and will assist any
State in making the selection of a
! tree."
