All power to Nova Scotia in its de-
termination to get rid of unsightly
billboards. The small return that the
farmer or occup.er chains for por-
ton Of his land to he used for the
display of posters does not by any
means offset the loss to the country
side which the disfiguring billboard
occasions. 1t is true that the scenic
gems of Nova Scotia are less obscured
by billboards than they are in the
United States. Yet the time to begin
to apply the remedy is before the prob
lem becomes more difficult. In other
words. now. There Is reasonable ex-
cuse for signs Of caution at the tops of
hills or near sudden curves in the high
ways. There is little valid reason for

Lay Out Community
With Eve TO Future

Preventive planning, which foresees
and prevents mistakes in building, is
recommended to village communities.
AS in the cities, rebuilding after a.
bad start may be expensive but
cheaper in the long run. Exceptional
new villages planned recently, with an
eye to the future, include Mariemont.
Ohio; Longview, Wash. Pinehurst,
N. c., and Palo Verde, Calf Other
villages are rebuilding either in large
piece reconstruction work at one time
or by adoption of long-term plans for
replacement of undesirable buildings
as they wear out. The movement is
countrywide and supported by plan
ming associations and boards in sew
eral states. A long list OF towns and
villages which have initiated planning
practices includes such scattered COM
munities as Weston, Mass: Leroy,
Ohio; Forrest City, N. c.; Cape Girar-
deau, Mo-; Post, Texas; Pipestone,
Mimi; Logan, Utah, and Durham and
Patterson, Calf. Village planning rep
resents not waste but saving of
money in forestalling the need to
spend great sums in the future in re-
construction and In providing for the
economic, social and esthetic welfare
of the 20,000,OO0 people who live In
villages or small towns and OF the
30,000OO0 farm people who use them

Builders Nccv Demand
Materials That Last

That the public demand for durable
home construction is increasing is
shown by the tendency of real estate
operators to use building materials
that are immune to dust and the eff
fectS of hard usage. In place of cor
robbie materials. builders are using
rustprGof metals wherever there is
exposure to dampness and elements.
Property owners who experiment
with corrodible metal roofing and
water pipes soon find that the cost OF
keeping these installations in repair
is many times greater than the slight
additional expense of using rustproof
metal at the outset. These repair and
replacement costs can be eliminated
permanently the next time rust
trouble develops, by installing copper
roofing and brass pipe plumbing.
Thine and again." says leading
Chicago architect, 1--WE are hearing
where water pipes are torn out and
brass pipes have to 90 in. In every i'm
provement l make wherever it is pos
sipie, tdii lor DfaSS water pipes anu
copper Hastings. The initial cost is a
little more, but it is more than offset
by the reduction in upkeep."
1t is estimated that to equip S15,-
600 house with brass pipe plumbing
costs about $75 more than the best
grade of corrodble pipe, but the elm
ination of expense after the first cost
makes brass cheaper in the long run.

The Night Schools

Night schools for adults-the

We.tl'a Forest Trees
The American Tree association notes
that somewhere near almost every
town is land unfit for cultivation, but
land that would grow forest trees
satisfactorily. 1t also is. noted that
these town forests, properly handled,
cutting out the mature trees without
impairing the immature and saplings,
often are sources of income equal to
the cost OF maintenance or more. The
wood from tree tops cut for lumber,
from dead trees and from thinning-out
processes furnishes fuel readily sold.
The forests provide some employment.
If they happen to cover the sources
of the towns water supply, so much
the better. Finally. to whatever extent
they contribute to the timber supply,
ito that extent they offset the ire
mendous drain on our remaining tim
Der lands.
