THAMES TO FLOWER LOVERS

Thanks should be expressed to
all those lovers Of flowers who
have maintained nice gardens in
Milford the past summer They
have rendered most valuable SER
vice to the home town The bright
ness of these blooms cheers the
heart, and helps to make people
happy and contented with life.
A town without flowers seems
dull and commonplace. When many
people cultivate these plants and
they. blossom well, the town takes
on a gay air. 1t seems every day
to be celebrating its existence and
expressing the beauty of the world.
Flowers are one of the best adyer-
tisements you can give of a COM
munity. They tell the world that
the place where they are grown is
a cultured and refined town and
neighborhood, which appreciates
and strives for beauty.

SOME PLACE TO GO

The Associated chamber Of commerce
resolve to put over this year an all-out
publicity campaign for Imperial Valley
brings to mind one suggestion the civic
leaders might profitably consider.
One Of the greatest troubles Imperial
Valley has encountered in attracting and
holding winter visitors has been the fact
that, once they are here, there Is little
for them to do. There are no dude
ranches, no desert horse trails, no winter
swimming pools-none Of the things Of
that kind which are 50 vital to the money
spending leisure class.
Might it not be wise, then to concen-
trate immediate efforts on interesting
some big-time promoter in establishing
resort here? Might it not be wise, even,
to guarantee him big advertising budget,
to make land available, to spend money To
get such a man here?
Give the visitors some place to 90, some
thing to do. and we'll have better chance
to call them back again another year.
