To Assist | I the Oregon Coast Highway is the "100 cil for the protection of Roadside Premium List Out miles of Scenic Beauty” from Bandon Beauty is shaping its plans to bring Ed w. Muter, manager of the New Zealand After Siens south to the California state line—a region unmarred by the commercial sign and bill board nuisance. The con structive work of the Port Orford Chamber of Commerce in 1927 in free ing this section of the coast highway from commercial signs and billboards and insuring its maintenance in its natural scenic state, furnished the im petus that has rapidly crystalized pub opinion on the billboard question throughout the world. In today’s issue of the NEWS is a news item from far off New Zealand, where the citizens are combatting the nuisance, and another item that the cit- izens of_Califor.nia are endeavoring to about the elimination of t* the signs and billboards from other Oregon high- ways. Among the many natural attrac tions of Curry County the ‘TOO Miles of Scenic Beauty” takes first rank, as every traveler is impressed by the naturalness of the region through which the coast route passes. It is, however, an attraction that requires constant vigilance to maintain in its proper condition, and every citizen of the county should consider himself a committee of one to cooperate in keep ing this naturally scenic region free VJ1C commercial sign and billboard from the nu i sa net • Oregon Coast Highway association.' “ Auckland.
