NOT DOING HIS SHARE
Motorists of Wisconsin Must
Assist in Conserving States
Assets.

With Americas natural scenery
just coming to be recognized as
an important basic source of
wealth the motor tourist is being
reminded that he is not doing his
share toward conserving it.
Motor camping and picnicing
can be enjoyed without defacing
the scenery for the next fellow
who comes along if everyone would
refrain from littering up the
ground with picnic rubbish, tin
cans and papers.
To help the motorist see that
he's to blame for this nuisance
which affects him more than any
one else, and to show him a public
spirited way to preserve the
natural beauties of the country as
seen from an automobile, a move
ment has been started under the
name of the Motorists League for
Countrywide Preservation. It's aim
is to give the motoring public of
the United States a new sense or
responsibility, best defined by the
Leagues slogan, Clean up as you
60"
The National Motorists Associa-
ton, of Washington, d. c. and the
Wisconsin Motorists Association,
two of the organizations behind
this movement are urging their
members to pledge their support.
No initiation proceedings other
than the will to preserve the coun-
tryside are necessary.
Il will make every effort to
leave the roadside in such condi-
ton that the pleasure to be der
ived from it by others is not
lessened through any careless act
of mine," pledges the motorist.
1t is believed that by putting
the matter up to the motorist
squarely more can be accomplish
ed than by legislation against the
habit of leaving picnic and camp
sites clean and free from papers
or litter of any sort.
President Harding was among
the first to- accept service on g
committee in charge of the
Leagues program, while the ma
turalist, Luther Burbank, Secre.
tary of Agriculture Wallace, ano
many mayors and governors have
earnestly endorsed the movement
Since membership entails the
pledge to be careful of trees ano
shrubbery, and in the making Oh
camp fires, much that is of prac.
tical value in the conservation Oh
natural scenery and property
should be accomplished. The mo.
torist usually gives full support
to any honest cause when he goes
into it of his own free will.
The N. NJ A. believes this move
ment has a direct bearing on the
enjoyment of present and future
motoring, and urges every motor
ist to get behind it.
