Beautify Alberta' Project
Adopted For Centennial
" Canada is a beautiful country
but we must insure that
her beauty is maintained," Mrs.
Harold Simonson told delegates
attending the W. I. district 3
biennial conference Friday morning.
Mrs. Simonson, national convener
for Canadian industry and
agriculture spoke on the W. I.
n a t i o n a l ceniennia! project,
" Beautify Canada". A trophy
will be awarded to the branch
with the best " Beautify Alberta"
program.
" Land cannot be easily recovered
from industry, housing
and highways; therefore we
must insure that as less land is
used for food production, some
of it is retained park areas,"
she said.
She said W. I. members should
not only he concerned with the
future utilization of land but
should induce a campaign to
'' clean up" the land already
devoted to recreation. " Our
beaches are dirty, streams and
air are polluted, and the highways
are covered with litter,"
she said.
Natural beauty spots should
be developed and protected, she
said, and pointed out that wild
| flowers are slowly disappearing
with the use of sprays.
" We must prevent the destruction
of historical landmarks
to make way for parking lots
and highways," she said.
Mrs. Simonson suggested W. I.
branches might instigate a program
of litter bag use; they
might conduct a community-wide
clean- up; and should contribute
ideas to community centennial
projects.
