Seeing Our Own Country

Most of us think of Fairgrounds in terms of
a restricted place where the youth may tumble,
play ball, and enjoy appliances that have been
placed there for their pleasure.
Few of us know that we possess national
playground of more than 156,000,000 acres,
which is found in various parts of the country
and contains lakes, hills, forests, foothills. val
leys, snow-covered mountains, glaciers, rivers
and waterfalls.
Many of lis have visited these national parks,
and many more have seen the majestic scenic
beauties of our country. Our own Whitewater
valley has bits of scenery that are almost in
comparable and have lured thousands from the
cities and towns to spend our holidays there.
TIE advent of spring and the near approach
of summer suggest that more of us see the beau
ties of our own country. Abundant opportunities
exist at our very door. A short trip by motor or
train will bring us to the great lake region OF
the country. A longer journey will take US to the
matchless mountain country of the West whose
grandeur is not surpassed anywhere. The East
beckons with it's wealth of historical places and
its many beautiful bits of natural scenery.

what America has to offer in this particular. AS
people we have not learned to enjoy nature as
have the European peoples. But that is no rea-
son why we should not enter into this pleasure
in great numbers.
Our community is widely known for its love
of fine paintings, and yet the greater part of the
paintings in our homes depict scenes of our own
forests, streams and hills. Nature is at it's best
within short distance of our own homes We
will doubly appreciate the paintings in our homes
and public art gallery if we learn to cultivate a
love for nature.
