OVER 200 PERSONS ENTER
YARD GARDEN CONTEST
Entries Close on Saturday.
Judges Being Selected Who
Will Inspect Properties

: approximately 200 persons have
entered the Oakland Yard and Garden
contest for the purpose of identifying
Oakland and improving their prop
erty, Mrs. Albert L. Lee, chairman,
has announced. The contest, entries
for which close on Saturday, May 10,
is being conducted under the auspices
of the Oakland Civic club in coopera-
ton with The Republican, and the
number of interested parties far ex-
coed all expectations, according to the
chairman.
Judges in the contest are being
selected and they will inspect proper
ties of entrants before starting their
improvements, once during the grow
ing season, and once at the conclusion
of the campaign.
Those who have already entered the
contest realize that it is an oppor-
tunity to make Oakland more enjoy
able place in which to live and also
a chance to add actual dollars to the
value of their properties, and gives
greater personal satisfaction that al
ways comes from living in attractive
surroundings. Others are urged to
get their entry mailed before mid
night of May 10, so that they may
be included in the campaign.
There will be special prizes to chill
dren entering the contest, it has been
announced.
The yard and garden contest will
result in a general cleanup of home
grounds, vacant lots, streets and al
legs, eliminating fire hazards and
eradicating breeding places of
disease.
Bare and uninviting yards can be
made attractive and livable just by
setting out some trees, shrubs and
flowers. Such an environment is bene-
fetal to both grown-ups and young
sters and will greatly enhance the
public health, it was stated.
