GIRLS’ 4-H MEET The Pomaria Senior Girls’ 4-H club held its regular meeting on Tuesday, Miarch 2, in the auditor ium with the president, Elizabeth Ann Ruff, presiding.

Reporter, Eleanor Potts Of cordial interest to garden club members and other interested in roadside beautification is an article which appeared in the Gar den club page in the Greenville News Sunday. The article was written by Mrs. Richard L. Baker of Newberry, state chairman of Roadside Development at the re quest of state Garden club public ity chairman. Roadside development in South Carolina is showing marked im provement throughout the state. The program featuring the “Model Mile” along with that of planting highway shoulders with grass has been well received by the garden clubs. We are stress ing conservation of our native evergreens and shrubs when pos sible for these are the plants that require the least care. In any planting along the highway, we should never interfere with the highway right of way. It is en couraging to know that we are gradually getting some of the un sightly signs removed thtft are al so hazardous to our safety pro grams. The State Highway Department has been most helpful in furnish ing labor for plantings and also in helping keep our roadside parks clean. Many new parks have been started this year and it is hoped that more will be added as these inviting rest areas mean much to the beautification of our state as well as to the comfort and pleas ure of the weary travelers. The litte^burg campaign still holds a very definite place in the program. Many clubs have spon sored litterbug campaigns and lit- terbug contests. Some have plac ed the new metal litterbug sign in their roadside parks. The driving public has become more conscious of litter on our highways. Educa tion of our children through the schools can do much also in help ing with the plan. The deadline for applying for roadside parkways and model mile awards has been extended to April 1. The comparatively new law prohibiting the dumping of trash or garbage on any property be longing or on or along any public highway Is certainly a step in combatting the “litter problem.” Chief Highway Commissioner C. R. McMillan has been .very co-operative with the Garden Club of South Carolina.
