WE CAN LEARN FROM OUR TENNESSEE NEIGHBORS
From Tennessee comes the following advice, as applicable
here as in the Smoky Mountains. Gatlinburg, at the entrance to
the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, believes in preparing
for the many touristy who come its way in endless numbers
from April through October. Read this, just substituting the
names of BROOKINGS and HARBOR for “Gatlinburg” and,con
sider it an earnest appeal from our own AZALE1A GARDEN
CLUB. Let’s start preparing right now for the passing parade
on Highway 101 and the Azalea Festival. If we prepare, the pa
rade is not so apt to pass but will linger with us, to enjoy the
charm of this area.
“The Gatlinburg Garden Club committee, appointed by the
club to «p-^rhead a city-wide Clean-up campaign, has enumerat-
ed the following musts’ for a successful drive:

run through Gatlinburg are some of our greatest attractions, and
as such should be kept free of debris.
“3. Unsightly coal piles and trash piles should be moved to
the rear of buildings, and not left on the street, in full view of
passers-by.
-4. Weeds shoutl be mowed down and trash piles removed
