Beauty Easily Attained

1t is remarkable the comparatively
short period necessary to convert bare
grounds into splendid settings of foli-
age and blooms when good judgment
Is used in the selection of plants. Many
houses built only few years ago that
lack the beauty the modern community
demands can at little cost be given the
atmosphere Of privacy and the mark
of individuality that can come only
from the completion Of the house set
ting.

Wrong to Think Small
Tow1 Not Up to Date

Many city people labor under the de-
fusion that rural communities are not
"up" on the latest styles, labor-saving
finder Magazine remarks. The truth
of the matter is that the rural house
wife now reads all about the latest
styles in the fashion magazines; with
true feminine instinct she notes the
dress of visitors and parties of auto
lists passing through the town. Extend
ing the franchise to women has made
them full-fedged citizens. The COM
munity store has to keep abreast of the
times. 1t can no longer pass off old
dress models on the knowing woman.
The same thing applies to other mer-
chandise. Nowadays the farmer is too
wary to have old stuff passed off on
him; he wants the newest and the
best.
The radio is big factor in knitting
the rural community and the city in
closer bonds of friendship and mutual
understanding and helpfulness. It
places the country resident on a par
with the most favored citizen in regard
to recreation and general culture
These and other factors are helping
eradicate once and for all the far
fetched notion which once maligned
the country man. In effect, the coun-
try is one ingredient, the city another; !;
each is indispensable and together they
make perfect combination.

SHENANDOAH VALLEY
ANNUAL BOOSTERS MEETING

Il A call has been issued TO the Direc
tors of the Shenandoah Valley, Inc. to
iattend Board Of Directors meeting to
| be held in Harrisonburo, December
| 18th, at whiaha time and place will be
set for another big booster meeting
Gsuch as was held in the New Virginia
Theatre in Harrisonburg, Va, the 10th
of last january.
AT this meeting general resume of
the work accomplished by the Shen-
andoah Valley, Inc. in the past year
will be given and everyone who has
become subscriber to the Shenan-
doah Valley, Inc. will be allowed a
vote as to the Directorate for the COM
ing year.
The officials of the Shenandoah Val
tey, Inc. feel that they can point with
pride to the accomplishments of this
organization in its twelve months ex-
istence Even the man on the streets
or the man on the farm has felt the
wave OF publicity that has spread all
over the country regarding the his
torical, famous Shenandoah Valley.
By consistent advertising, tens of
thousands of tourists were brought
through the Valley the past summer.
even with several bad detours which
were necessary to make in order to
take the trip, and now with the entire
roadway opened up from the northern
cities to Roanoke with hard surface
Outbound roads, another campaign of
advertising will bring many times the
number who visited our Valley the
past year.
This is but one of the great accom-
plishments that the Shenandoah Val
ley, Inc. has brought about. We have
brought the attention of the whole
East to the wonderful industrial ad-
vantages of the.Valley region and many
New Englanders and others are look
ing towards locating in the Shenan-
doah Valley. Our water powers sites
have scarcely been known and great
advantages will accrue in the next few
years in the publicity given to the rest
OF the world as to the opportunities
that are still lying dormant in the
Shenandoah.
The Shenandoah Valley, Inc. has
spent a great deal of time upon hav-
ing located National Park near its
borders and if this one thing is brought |
about, it will be the greatest historical |
event in the State of Virginia in a
hundred years.
If you are member of Shenandoah
Valley, Inc, you are cordially invited
and requ ested to come to this great
mass meeting to be held in January,
announcement of which will be made
later.
