Show Church - wide Improvement Program Slated The L. D. S. Church is renewing at this time its improvement and beautification campaign under the slogan, "Our Chapels and Homes Shall Be Beautiful". In connection with the campaign, the following statement was issued this week from the Presiding Bishop's office: "The first step in the program will be to select in every ward a committee whose duty will be to work with the ward bishopric in planning and carrying out this cam- paign in their ward, to improve and beautify Church property and their homes. When the Church grounds are well landscaped with flowers, shrubs, and trees, and the inside is decorated and furnished, it is hoped hop-ed that this spirit of beautification will create a desire among the members mem-bers to improve and beautify their homes. "In such a campaign there is as much to do in the fall as at any other time of the year. Old dead trees should be removed; weeds, trash, and rubbish destroyed; fences repaired and painted. One of the best times to do painting is right now before the winter comes. Improve Im-prove your walks and drives with gravel or cement. "If you are planning any. changes in your landscape or preparing any new ground for planting, fall is the i best time to do it. Bulbs or roots for early spring flowering should be planted now. It is a good idea to exchange roots and plants at this fall season with your neighbor. "Tourists by the thousand are visiting our cities and towns, our parks and the wonders of nature. More will come next year. Will they get a favorable impression from what they see? "Let everyone start now and help in this beautification program. Have a fall clean up, improve your public I buildings, and home surroundings." |
