THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 29, 1917. » | THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER KEEP BEAUTY OF ROADSIDE ome Towns Appreciate the Value of ‘Y Permitting Flowers and Shrub- bery to Grow on Highways. In many a charming countryside the town road-destroyer with his bush- scythe garners the beauty and leaves hleqlmess. a singularly unkempt re- sult of an attempt to clean up. Sometimes it is the village improve- ment soclety itself, meaning well, that | sends him forth, says the Boston Transcript. More often it is his indi- vidual sense of responsibility to the - office whose salary he is expected to earn. He, too, means well, anl would be. greatly indignant if told that his labors tended to drive prosperity away 1\x@mm his district. Yet such is without doubt the fact. The- summer visitor loves' the country for its wild tangle, its untrammeled growth, its bosky dells and its friendly shrubbery which crowds into the road itself, flaunting dewy fragrance in his face as he walks. When the day comes that he returns and finds in place of these along his accustomed walks dry brush, bare stubble and clumsily unkempt , cleanliness, his soul revolts and on the morrow he seeks fresh woods and pastures new. Some country towns - geem to have a realizing sense of this purely utilitarian side of the value of roadside beauty. They build good roads, but they take care to leave the roadside growth untrammeled that those who pass may enjoy it. It is a business asset. There is more to it, too, than the fact that sentimentalists and nature lovers come to worship this beauty. The school children of such a town go to school along roads lined with ob- Ject lessons not only in beauty but in natural science, lessons which they learn without knowing it and which re- main with them all their lives.
