BACK YARDS MADE BETTER Contest Spurs Boys and Girls of Find- | lay to Beautify Their Home Surroundings. More than 100 back yards of Find-| 1ay, O., now look better than most Findlay front yards as a result of an | idea of Council President Frank J. Collingwood, whose hobby is attractive environments for the home. Mr. Collingwood enlisted the support of the local Rotary club and the Chamber of Commerce in what he termed a “better back yard” contest | as a means of heightening juvenile | interest in Findlay in improved yards | and home surroundings, and at the game time bettering the community’s outslde appearance. A list of eleven prizes was an- nounced for the contest—one a grand prize for either a boy or girl, five for boys and five for girls. Mr. Col- lingwood himself furnished the money for the prizes, to the extent of several hundred dollars. The Chamber of Commerce took charge of the routine of the contest and when the lists closed for entrants there, were a score more than 100 fn the race for the coveted awards. The contest Iasted a little over a month, in which miracle transforma- tions were wrought in many back yards In the city, by the youthful con- testants, Working entirely alone, boys and girls in many Instances, the judges reported, had to start with nothing but dump heaps, rough, weed-covered plots and the like. But hoes, rakes and spades; coupled with a generous amount of energy and above all & de- sire to win one of the eleven prizes, brought results, which were remarka- ble, according to the judges. In making the awards, it wasn't alone the neatness of the yards that counted, but the condition of the yard at the start was taken into con- sideration as well and the progress that*was made had a great deal to do with the award. Gardens were a part of the required work. “There must be some real value in yard beautification, or large con- cerns wouldn’t spend thousands of ‘dollars in it every year,” sald Mr. Collingwood 'In presenting the prizes. “In fact,’I am told it does pay real interest on the investment in better satisfled employees who like attractive environments in which to work."” BUILT - «/T--~WITH -- POTATOES How the Citizens of Patricia, Alberta, Obtaineg Their Much Needed X "2 Town Hall. Patricia needed a town hall. Belng ounly two years old, this was a problem to the Infant village In the southern ‘Alberta prairies. Ways and means were discussed. It was finally decided to bulld it with potatoes. Twenty planted to spuds. Breaking the land, seeding and.cultivating were all done by volunteers. Everybody took a hand. The community. potato patch now promises a heavy- crop. The entire town tends it. When the first potato plamt peeped above ground it was a municipal event. The town fathers called a mass meeting to take .action when a vagrant rooster scratched up a plant. Discoveny of a weed that had escaped the community hoes caused as much excitement as a fire alarm. The potato patch Is looked wfter as tenderly as if it were the town's baby. Thwo years ago the entire country abont Patricla was open prairie with ‘not a human habitation in the round of the horizon. The first house was bullt in 1919. Today there are 20,000 acres under cultivation. !
