PRIZE AWARD TO
SMYRNA AGAIN
Continued from Page One)

Freedom from signs, general clean
illness of grounds and buildings and
the attractiveness of flower gard
ems won the awards. The remain
ing prizes. for keeping the best
roadside market, were awarded L.
Frank Boyer and his daughter,
Miss Mildred Boyer, at Boyd's Cor
ner, north of McDonough. The
Boyers are former residents of
Clayton and have many friends in
Clayton and Smyrna who are
pleased over the award. The flags
awarded in the three counties are
about four by three feet and the
poles nine feet in height. topped
with gold balls and equipped with
metal holders for lawns so that
they may be removed easily. The
aim of the roadside Identification
committee, which is affiliated with
the National Committee for Road
side Beautification, is to bring
about general Improvement in all
roadside places, especially places
of business using signs to advertise
their products. In this connection,
Mrs. Thompson comments: Our
committee feels the highway COM
mission has done everything posi-
BILE to make our roads beautiful
and pleasant to ride on, and it
seems almost unpatriotic that peo-
pie for $40 will spoil their proper
ty with hideous signs which not
only destroy the beauty of the
countryside, but often obstruct
the views. We would feel greatly
pleased to have all of these signs
removed"

After the close of the Inspection Cam
paign on August 29. applications for reg
istration will not be accepted without proof
of 1886 safety inspection.
When sale of car is made, the proof
of 1886 inspection is equally important to
transfer to the new owner as the transfer
of title. Applications presented for regis
tration without the 1885 proof of inspec-
tion will have to be returned to the ap-

inspections attached to the titles. as we
will not accept statement that the safety
