We anticipate the greater use of Florida’s native trees and shrubs which are so seldom really known well enough to be appreciated, be} made in our Flower Shows and made a part of our Outdoor Flor-/ ida Week, now being observed in| every city in Florida. “Garden tours to show the value | of well planned and well kept gar- dens are of great interest to our visitors as well. Trips to nearb: beauty spots under the guidane of some one who knows _ nativ {plants and birds would be enjoy- ted by many who do not know how| jto see Florida's beauty. Florida’s citizens should rejoice in the charm jof the out of doors around them and this is a great opportunity to; show them how lovely it is. | “Some one has said that the way | to prosperity is lined with beau- tiful trees.

Hunt Harris, past presidents of the Florida Senate, gave the followin; address over radio recently, eames be of interest to Key West as well as to all Florida. Q.—What is the Century of Progress Commission, Mr. Hutch- jens? A.—It is the commission formed for furthering the interest and ar- ranging the exhibits of the various states of the union at the World’s Fair in Chicago this summer. Q.—What is your capacity upon that commission? A.—I can answer that by read- ing a brief letter from ex-Gover- nor Carlton: Dear Mr, Hutchens: You are invited to occupy an ad- |visory relationship to the very im- portant effort being made for Florida by the Century of Progress Commission. ed a unanimous wish for the ap- ;pointment of such a commission, as you will see by the enclosed copy of Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 9, In conference with the Century Jof Progress Commission, I find it is their wish that, as this whole movement will greatly affect the future of Florida, there should be a wider basis than appointments solely from members of the Legis- lature; so that it may thus be non- political. Will. you volunteer your advice and guidance as a member of the Florida Advisory and yet official Committee, selected entirely out- iside of the Legislature? You will confer an honor on the State. I |believe the successful . carrying tout of this important task will be beneficial to the entire State. I await your favorable reply. | Very cordially yours DOYLE E. CARLTON, Governor.

I am thrilled with all this beauty. There is no de- pression here. At the meeting of the jury of artists in DeLand we awarded prizes and honorable men- tion.te a group of Florida artists for sketehes, subjects pertaining to Florida’s history, to be used for large murals painted by these ar- tists, who won in the competition, for the walls of the Florida build- ing. This alone stimulated the jartists. You must do this or art cannot live. Imagine Florida with- out beauty and art. You couldn’t {live here. Q.—What will this exhibition do, and what will art generally do for Florida, Mr. Hutchens? A.—Art is a greater civic asset than most men and women realize. Look at Toledo, Ohio. Art stands first in the credo of their Cham- ber of Commerce. Edmund Drum- mond Libby, when he gave that imagnificent museum and ten mil- lion dollars to support it, put To- ledo on the map, not only as a city beautiful, but as a great com- mercial center. At our jury meet- ing we found splendid talent and Florida will be well represented. We were almost unanimous in our |decisions in this competition. While ‘we had a few radical modernistic things to consider we did not ig- nore the fact that the world can- |not stand still, that a certain {amount of sane modernism is good for art, in architecture, music, lit- erature, sculpture and paintings.
