Making Admore Clean City And One Noted For Its Wealth OF Shade
Trees ndRoses The Work Undertaken By The Adoe Civic League
ARDMORE.S GROWTH

Ar1more has hundred good rea-
sons for being happy over the man
ner in which Tire city has started uae
year.
There have been approximately 1000
savings accounts opened with the
banks and the Peoples Building and
Loan Company since the first OF the
year.
The churches have been literally
over-run with people and while great
er edifices are under construction the
theatres OF the city and the conven-
tion hah are being used 10 accmmo-
date overflow classes.
One of the biggest things this city
has to be grateful for is the eIfec-
tive manner in which the boys are
being handled Scout Executive Reid
and the score of men who have voiufl-
teered to help him are Going great
eI work than they themselves realize.
AS a result OF the work that has been
done in this city the juvenile cases
coming before the courts have been
reduced more than so per cent. This
information came from Mrs. EfTie
Wilkes, county probation officer, and
she Is delighted with the manly boys
who reside here and with the fact
that many boys who have been lille
are now being cooked after by men
and they are given something to em-
ploy their time and are turning from
law violations.
Rose Hill cemetery and the Hebrew
cemetery are both being beautificd.
Thousands OF Dollars are being spent
on each Of them. People. who own
lots in the cemetery are beautifying
them and these places are more beau
tful than they have ever been before.
Thousands OF roses are being plant
ed in the city this year. The Rose Car
nival this spring will be the prettiest
event ever given in this city. Look
out for il.
The Memorial Highway which was
started year ago has been extended
this year While many people believe
that the work has pot been given
cooperation it deserves yet some
progress has been made and the work
Will be kept up from year TO year.
These beneficent results that have
come did not lust happen" there is
moving spirit back of il and uhe
Ardmore Civic League is by no means
a small factor in this work. The
league needs your help, it needs your
membership and every man and wo-
man OF this city owes it to themselves
and to their city to become a member
OF this organization.
