Woodman, spare that tree! But as for him...
I have never read anything so ridiculous as Ben Griffin’s letter [April 24–May 1]. He says we have “useless leafy trees that grow no fruit”. These trees give us beauty, oxygen, and other wonderful uses in nature for the animals. Yes, go ahead, plant more fruit trees, but leave the other trees alone. There are lots of useless, ill-mannered people wasting space and causing pollution, but it would be against the law to get rid of them. Interesting, isn’t it?
