North Carolina highways, so that the
territory through which the roa's
pass may have a pleasing effect upon
motorists, a committee of engineers,
foresters," and landscape gardners,
drawn from the various state depart
ments has been organized and will
work on plans to plant trees, shrub
bery, etc., and in other ways appeal
to the aesthetic sensibilities of tha
motorist, according to a statement is
sued here by Leslie R. Ames, assist
ant to Fran^ Page, chairman of the
highway commission. Mr. Ames is
the chairman of the committee, which
will be known as the landscape com
mittee. •‘- ' v -
“There is a great public interest
in the beauty of North Carolina high
ways,’’ reads the statement in part.
“They have become, as it were, tha
formal entrance to the commonwealth.
Through the eyes of the motorists we
are being judged. This comment has
everywhere, Sj-iniulated an itnerest and
led to active work in the improve
ment of surroundings.
“The highway commission’s prob
lem is not building roads. This is
simple. To create a sentiment of in
terest that will provide ample funds
for the upkeep of these roads is a
much more difficult problem.
“The public interest in improving
the highways from the aesthetic side
is a step in the desifed direction. To
stimulate and foster this Itnerest a
committee has been appointed to serve
the public without additional ‘ burden
to the taxpayers.
“It is impossible at this time to
devote the funds- of the commission
to purely ornamental work. Their
problem is to give to North Carolina
the greatest mileage of good roads at
the least cost possible. This means
rigid economy. Unsightly places have
been left for lack of funds to obliter
ate them." i
The statement declares that "com
munities,” individuals, and associa
tions are manifesting and interest and
willingness to secure funds for the
embellishment of roadsides and it is to
aid these groups, furnish exoprt ad
vice, prepare plans, secure planting
material of the proper kind at reason
able cost and to plant and care for
this material that the committee has
been seelcted.”
• Certain section? of the roads will he
taken into hand at once, according to
plans now being formulated, and will
be planted. The committee will des
ignate the sections for experimental
purposes and endeavor to secure the
cooperation and a’.d of the communi
ties through which the roads pass in
financing the project with a view to
demonstrating the desirability of
landscaping the roadways. Accurate
C06t figures will be kept and detailed
plans made in order that other com
munities may be abloto determine tha
exact amount of monej^ necessary for
the work.
Work which the committee will do
in various sections of the state will of
course depend upon the aid received
.from the various communities. Be
cause there is no appropriation for
any such purpose it will be necessary
to enlist the financial aid of the va
rious cities and towns if the work is
to be accomplished.

myself.
“I began,taking Cardul. After taking
three bottles I was much improved. I
gained in strength. I was able to eat and
sleep. I took fifteen bottles in all and
grew strong and well. My baby is the
