IMPROVING NEIGHB0RH00D

There's much talk of conservation
or the trees and rivers grand,
For we know their preservation
Helps to ~beautify the land.
We admit that talk like this will
Benefit the public good.
But at present your first job Is
To improve your neighborhood.
Small beginnings have big endings,
And II you will make the start.
You will see how quick your neighbor
Pitches In and does his part.
Then you'll find that It's contagious;
Every house upon your street
VIII be vying with each other
To keep looking clean and neat.
Paint and varnish are conserving,
You can prove beyond q doubt,
They're the best for the preserving
OF the house, inside and out.

that the danger Of fire and panic is re-
duced to a minimum, and at the same
time affords exercise.
The open.air sashes face on an in
mel corridor, which will! eventually
form a sort Of cloister around the
courtyard. AS the needs Of the com.
munity require, other wings will be
added on the three remaining sides
Of the central square. 1t is intended
eventually to have a gymnasium and
swimming pool in q basement under
the courtyard.

Gophers In the Garden,

Gophers still infest gardens except

Electricity on Farms.

Rural distribution Of electric current
has made great advances in the last
two years. In some communities the
farmers have financed local distribu-
ton systems, taking current from the
nearest ~cross-country transmission
line at n point and retailing II
among themselves. In other commu-
mites individual farmers find it de-
sirable to pay for lines directly from
the power plant to the farm. Other
electric companies install the connec-
ton and require a yearly minimum
use proportionate to the investment
in the line extension.
