1 Egg Tree Again On Display At Library Public Invited To Inspect Egg Tree For the sixth year the egg tree has blossomed in the Decatur public library for the first day of spring, In spite of heavy snows, ice and flu it has again bloomed in all its beauty. It will be on exhibit until April 7. The public is invited to come in and see It, and to bring in newly painted eggs. When the tree is first in bloom only the eggs that have been received in past years are put oil Then people become interested in making new and different designs and bring them in. Everyone is Invited to bring in new ones again this year. It will not only be a work of miniature art but also of cleverness to find something that is not on the tree. The staff of the library was happy to open a box from Alaska and find an egg painted and sent here by a former Decatur boy who always enjoyed the tree. Phillip Eley, from Anchorage, Alaska, sent a blue enameled egg, w'th the picture of Alaska in gold on orje side and the emblem of their flag on the other. “It was a real thrill to realise that one of the boys so far away would think of us and send us a painted egg" which did arrive on the very first day of spring,” Miss Berths! Heller, librarian said. Phillip is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gayle Eley who moved to Anchorage last summer. His grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Howard Eley, 1020 Central Ave., Decatur.
