LEESBURG, May 10ss'High-
way Identification in Florida is
one of the outstanding projects
from the standpoint of the civic
organization" said G. G. Ware, of
this city, past president of the
Florida State Chamber Of Com
merce. in discussing the forthcom-
ing Identification conference of
the state chamber. at is one Of
the few phases of statewide work
that appeals alike to the butcher,
the baker, the candlestick maker,
and last but far from least, Mrs.
Home Town." said Mr.. Ware. lie
pointed out the Importance of
utilizing plants and shrubs natural
to the vicinity of planting, and
maintaining the natural scenic
beauty of the roadside, in carry
ing out a highway Identification
project.
There can be no doubt as to
the dollars and cents value OF
beautiful road ways. All other
things being equal. tourists and
the travelling public in general viii
go miles out of their way to see
beautiful stretch of highway.
This means more money for the
hotels. the merchants, the restau-
rants. the filling stations Of the
immediate vicinity. Too much
emphasis can not be laid on the
Importance of maintaining scenic
beauty in Florida. Tremendous
possibilities for Identification ex-
ist along the stretches of new
roads that have been completed in
the last few years. Let us estab-
fish them as beautiful as they are
excellently surfaced" concluded
