DEAR CITIZENS: Feeling a deep Interest in the movement of our City Beautiful, I wish hpre to express a few sentiments senti-ments in its favor. j I do not believe there is any one thing that can come to our city that will be of a greater asset. It Is going to beautify our city to such an xtent thai, the jstreei...and ..Jo.ta.wilL-bev.-a pleasing sight to every passerby, and will be a source of pleasure and satisfaction sat-isfaction to leach citizen that delights in order and system. City Beautifying will be a means of establishing better health conditions in certain localities, it will do away with places that allow the stagnation of water, and old Irrigation ditches that hold debris and sediments that carry disease. The Beautifying move ment will not only be an asset for health in this way. but it will carry with It a spirit that will stimulate every cltlten and not only our citizens but citizens of other town to get the' spirit of keeping their own lots and homes free from obnoxious conditions. I am thoroughly behind this move ment and wish to Indorse, the same to every high minded man, woman and child. I am sure if we fake ad vantage of this wonderful opportun ity for city progression we will see the time in the near future that we can look with pride upon the results of our efforts In this matter. Let mfe say in closing, get behind this movement and support the actions of the committee in charge. Call on them at any time to help you decide any matter that might con front you In regard to beautifying your immediate vicinities and I am sure, they will give you. their helpful support. Look at this thing from the' right polnt-of-vlew, it Is for you as well as your neighbor. Respectfully Yours, . . . Ilisaop Joseph H. Storrs. o MR. EDITOR: At one time I let rubbish; sticks, weeds, rags, paper, old pieces- carpet. discarded stove pipe, and a hundred and one other things accumulate in . our backyard behind the house. I have changed our plans, we have found that It is just as easy to raise lawn. and flowers aa It Is to raise weeds. What Joy and comfort we get in keep-. keep-. ing our back yard Just as clean as the front. We keep a barrel or carton to put the loose paper that may blow In to the lot in. Every day we go around the lot. pick up the loose un desirable articles and place them in a container to be hauled away at a later time. We have a container for our ashes and they do not scatter all over the lot. You would be surprised the Joy one geU-out of having a -clean place, besides making it more beautiful beauti-ful it is more sanitary, it Is a safeguard safe-guard against fire. It will not cost a penny more and we have at the store a number of containers we will give free to Anyone who will let his wants be known. Why do we put on our best clothes to look well? Why do we pol'sh our shoes, clean our finger nails, so we can put on a better appearance ap-pearance and to have the satisfaction of teollng clean. So also on the same principle if we clean our premises and place our Implpmpnts. "jnd tools away .. I, a jiy manner and rake un the loose bits and haul them away we win ret the same Mtisfae-t'on.

Herbert-Hoover, had this to say of the Better Homes movement, and following Pres. Coolidge's endorse ment are several opinions voiced by men and women of this city in re gards to the flower raising campaign "The American home is the founda tion of our national and individual well being. Its steady improvements, at the same time, a tefet of our civil! sation and of our ideals. The Better Homes in AmeOica movement pro vides" a channel through which' men and women in each community can encourage the building, ornamenting and owning of private homes by the people at large. We need attractive, worthy permanent homes that lighten the burden of housekeeping. We need homes In which can be reared happy children and upright citizens." We heartily commend the Flower sure they can all be made to look better. Go look at Alex CHristenseu's place, Iieber Bates, Patriarch Smith's places and many others 1 could men tlon and you cannot help but get in spiration.

Mayor and City Council Home is not home until it is plant ed. It is not in the expense of bouse or furniture neither of clothing that make borne. It is the spirit Lawn, flowers, trees and shrubs make a charming exterior. Mother, father, children, and God when well planted make a splendid interior. This is Home Spirit Let's plant both inside and out by each individual assuming the responsibility re-sponsibility of Improving himself and Mrs. Liza Christensen. Civic Improvement can only come his surroundings. The environment ra which one lives determines his mental atytude and the satisfaction which comes from living in a proper environment is great. Beauty of one's surroundings should be encouraged, therefore the flower campaign is commendable com-mendable and will teach one the best lesson in proper citizenship and make the city a beautiful place to live in. David Oourley, Superintendent of Schools. TheTe is nothing in my estimation that keeps one out of the dismal rut like being interested and occupied Jn helping Qod grow beautiful gardens. I am so happy to hear that some of our citizens are starting this campaign, cam-paign, and I, too, hope it will become and spread into an epidemic, and every; -body-get- the- fever of "planting flowers. . ..Mrs. ,lda Haag, Flowers planted here and there, Roses' perfume in the air. Rich green lawn beneath our feet Makes the home a defer retreat For the children when they roam, Brings them all again back home. "City Beautiful" is our aim, Let's make it true. Get in the game. , Mrs. Eleanor NIcholes. Just a word of encouragement. There is nothing that will beautify a home more, than a well kept flower garden, with so small an expense attached. at-tached. Let every home have one. let's all be united and get behind our committee and make our home town a more beautiful place to live in. Bishop James T. Gardner. What are" your feelings when you pass a home surrounded by beautiful flowers and lawns? Don't you want to stop and enjoy the beauty and fragrance of It? No matter how humble the home, it can be made beautiful with flowets. A bouquet on the dinner table makes it seem like you have a guest There is something about flowers that appeals to the best there is In one. Mrs. Willis Bromley. May I heartily ..endorse the movement move-ment in our city beautiflcation, and especially the planting of flowers, as the finest movement that could ba inaugurated. Flowers, the beautifiers of the earth; the one thing that creates In the rhlnds of all greater appreciation for all beauty; flowers, that waken In man a reverence for God's handiwork may be had for the asking. These are the things we are planting plant-ing in the hearts of our people when we plant flowers. Are these not worth while? I would say-let American Fork be a leader in planting in the hearts of Its people the finest of sentiments, the product of flowers. Jesse M. Walker. Do you like flowers?
