I 1 I i .1 m.i. hi OWENSBORO, Aug. 4. There's a tempest brewing in a teapot here a sassafras teapot, to be exact. The tempest centers on a road-Improvement project and the effect it could have on a sassafras tree at 2100 S.

Frederica Street. Now, the tree isn't an ordinary, run-of-tha-mill sassafras that does nothing more than pro vide the raw ingredients for system-toning spring tea. The sassafras involved in this particular tempest is 100 per cent pure royalty, as trees go. It is said to be the largest known sassafras tree in all America. A Trve Champion' Moreover, the owners, Dr.

and Mrs. O. W. Rash, have records to support that belief. The American Forestry Association's list of 1956 "tree champions" places the Owensboro sassafras at the top of its class, and gives the following dimensions: Cireumfrnc 16 tttt (4'4 fee bov bate) limb tpread 72 feet Total height 88'i feel The Owensboro giant is the only Kentucky tree listed among the American champs.

Street Flan Involved The tempest in the sassafras teapot has to do with a rather involved plan for widening Fred-erica Street a plan which, among other things, Dr. and Mrs. Rash claim will destroy their champion tree. The plan was drawn up several years ago. It called for widening Frederica, one of only two north-south through streets in Owensboro, from 18th Street would be destroyed if that and the rest of the present plans are followed.

One Hope Remains The Rashes say they have reconciled themselves to the fact that a seven-lane highway will replace the two-lane street in front of their house, long an Owensboro showplace. They realize also, they say, that right of entry to the property eventually will be gained. Their one hope now is to save the big tree. Mrs. Rash has asked that tfie grade of the sidewalk be raised to extend along the top of the low bank past their front yard, ty, 86, Hopkinsville.
