BILLBOARD AND vANDA1.s

Now that the agitation against the
effacement of our scenery with bill
boards shows signs of success, motor
lists should remember that billboards
are not the only, or even the greatest,
menace to the charm Of the country
side. Careless, ill-bred picnickers and
campers who strew their refuse about
and light fires that turn into confla-
grations take precedence. Complaint
against billboards comes with very poor
grace from those who are willing to
defile the bank of brook or a forest
glade with egg shells and papers and
abandoned tins, and with still poorer
grace from those who are not willing
to take every precaution against start
ing forest fires. After all, billboards can
always be removed, but not so the
scars that fires leave.
The beauty of this vast country 'oi
ours is one of the most important Of
our natural resources, quite as well
worth preserving for the nation as a
power sites. But far better lease it to
our oil and tire manufacturers than
destroy it once for all ourselves
