A 30 foot spruce tree located immediately behind the Olds Municipal Library building starts to fall after Lions Moritz
and Hill complete their cuts. The Library building is going to be renovated and the tree had to go. It was too
large to be relocated economically so the Lions Club was given the task of removing it. Eight members turned up for
the work party and in 50 minutes the tree was down and all traces of it (except the stump) were removed from the property.
