The city trustees here virtually have put bill- boards under the ban by refusing permission for the building of any more of these signs on Main street in Red Bluff. This was the purport of the board's action Wednes- day night when applica- tion was made for erect- ing additional billboards in the business district, the request being denied by almost unanimous vote. Some of the trust- ees voiced objection to these signs, partly on the ground of the kind of ad- vertising they display, which they declared did not have a good influence on the youth. — Dec. 4, 1924 90YEARSAGO... City trustees deny request on billboards By Cathy Wilson It is raining as I sit here writing this article. To say that I am overly happy would be an understate- ment—I am ecstatic! Peo- ple might describe a rainy day as dreary but not in this season. The autumn colors are ablaze and shine through the haze! I see the reds, maroons, or- anges, yellows and golds still aglow in the grayness. It is not by chance that fall occurs before winter. To behold autumn's glory is worth the long wait of winter. It is God's crown- ing season before the re- birth of the spring. Since fall has become my favorite season I cele- brate it every year by buy- ing a tree or shrub dressed in its autumnal color. This year I chose two because they provide coloring that I don't currently have in my yard. It is important to se- lect a tree during the fall as they have a tendency to repeat the same coloring year after year. Whatever is your choice color, now is the time to select your fa- vorite when the leaves are changed. During the off season, the plant tags will say "good for fall color" or will actually say "red, orange and yellow fall colors" when in reality this par- ticular tree may be dom- inantly yellow and orange with a smattering of red or none at all. Now back to my new trees. The first is Grace, a gorgeous deep pinkish-red leaved smoke tree. It will grow to be 15 feet tall and wide. In the spring, the leaves emerge blue-green with large pink flower puffs. The branching structure differs from my other pur- ple leafed smoke trees and is easier to prune. The second is sour- wood tree or more famil- iarly known as the Sorrel tree. Its actually a native of the eastern U.S. but grows well here in zones 8 and 9. The autumn leaves are vividly colored in pinkish, orange-red with drooping dried clusters of summer's bell shaped white flow- ers—absolutely stunning. Small trees can be grown in pots. It is not a good tree in lawns and does not like to be under-planted. This is also the time of year the garden club sets aside for its Holiday Schol- arship Boutique featuring fresh green wreaths and arrangements. So Mark your calendars For Dec. 4-6 at the Frontier Village Ste. 10 for our custom de- signs. Call to order 529- 0809 or 527-2226.
