RENDER REPORTS
GARDEN ACTIVITY
City Program Director Says
Past Week Most Ac-
tive To Date

Carl Render, director of the city
garden program, reported yester-
day the past week has been the most
active since the inception of the pro-
gram four years ago.
More than 900 gardens are now
being cultivated, he said, and all the
gardeners appear to be taking a gen.
uine interest in their welfare.
Render said he has visited all gar
dens in the southern section of the
city during the past week and has
found an increase in the interest
among gardeners of that section.
The remarkable succe of the pro.
gram, Render said, is due largely
to the assistance of the NYA girls
working in his office and to the pub
licity given by the press, for which
he expressed thanks.
