The; gifts of nature you add to your surroundings help replenish, refresh and cleanse the air. We need about 35 lbs. of oxygen every day, and this comes from green, growing plants on land and vegetation in the sea. Not only that, plants are natures own dust trap. Their leaf surface catch a steady flow of filth from the air, and hold it until the rain washes it away, back into the earth. Mr. Cheesman brought several several educational films and these were much enjoyed by all. Free literature and "Green Survival" buttons were handed out to all present and Thelma Vagg graciously thanked Mr. Cheesman for giving us a most thought provoking subject.
