Show m Rp Beatification Committee Urges Prompt Action In Cleaning Up Property By MABEL J Alt VIS "The September Lions Rodeo and carnival season is almost upon us, and there are still many streets, lanes and yards, some in very public places, heaped with weeds and various trash that could and should be removed before that event." This is the statement being be-ing made by the civic beautifica-tion beautifica-tion committee comprised of representatives rep-resentatives from each of the local civic and social clubs of this city. And without this statement, all one needs to do is walk about one or more blocks of the city and see how correct they are. The heavy summer work of canning can-ning fruits and vegetables and doing do-ing the many extra tasks that come with the mid-summer weather, wea-ther, are just about completed, and the season for getting ready for winter and spring in home and yard planting and beautification is here. This is the very best time, say the local planters and florists for planting cuttings of pyracantha and similar shrubs, and there are plenty of these shrubs in this city which are needing need-ing fall pruning and from which owners are glad to give cuttings. Why not contact them and get some of these fine evergreen shrubs growing about your yard and homes. It will require such a little of your time and the results re-sults are worth so much, not only to us who live here, but to the many who will naturally be with us for that coming carnival and Rodeo.

Turnips, spinach, carrots, lettuce, let-tuce, radishes, onions, beets and other good vegetables grow rapidly rap-idly in this September weather and help out the meal planning all through the winter season. There's nothing more truly satisfying than producing, or rather gathering fresh from the garden the vegetables veget-ables for a winter meal such as would grace the table of a king. We can do just that here in (Continued on page eight) Beatification . (Continued from first page) Utah's Dixie and people who visit us marvel at this fact. It is just lime, also, to plant sweet peas, columbine, sweet Williams, Wil-liams, pansies, and a dozen other flowers for spring blooming. A plot of early flowers is such an added touch of charm to any home. And St. George comes under un-der close scrutiny of tourist visitors, vis-itors, every yard should have some evidence of cultural beauty in shrubs, lawns and flowers. We want people who come to the Rodeo to see St. George in her best September dress, free from weeds, trash, filth, broken fences and other marring factors. Let's clean up and get ready for the Rodeo. |
