SCENIC BEAUTY If you haven’t been by Margaret Hunter park in the past few days, please make a point to ride by there before the w’eek is out. I don’t believe I have ever seen the flowers so beautiful and f wouldn’t even try to describe the scene without color camera. The flowers all over town this year are about as pretty as 1 ever re member seeing them and I notice especially spots that once were unattractive gullies are now be ing made beautiful by the various garden clubs of the city. Those in particular 1 have noticed, because they are on my way home, are the triangle across from Rosemont cemetery, and Wells Park just off Pone street. We should be proud of "the efforts being made by the garden clubs to beautify such spots in our city. Whose Is It ? Music Festivals Begin Tonight ' 4*' ,; v m#!.
