1t will be with us for some time

It may be years or even decades
before we finally arrive at point
where we will give the man with
the rake, the shovel and the mat
took tie credit he deserves for ma
king US more conscious and more
appreciative of our everyday sur
roundings.
I prophesy that the time will
come when the gentle art of maxi
ing our town and city streets and
our country roads and highways
places of beauty, will be recog-
nized and avery important part
of our American way of living.
The workers of the WPA, most
Iy unhonored and unsung, are the
pioneers in a great crusade that
one day will make this, our ma
ton, one of the fairest on the
face of the globe. Right now they
are paying the penalties of hard
ship that all pioneers must pay.
Whether by agreement or be-
cause their individual minds run
in the same direction, the farm
members of that grange whose
homes are along the highway have
sprinkled their yards and some
of the ordinary lInsightly spots
on farms with the seeds of flow
ers that bloom gorgeously in the
fall.
The result achieved is just that
the traveller via the highway is
smitten with the beauty of the
scene. Great masses of varied
color meet his eye, where in some
communities ugliness unadorned
is the only prospect.
