he had never become a golf enlhu
iast because he extracted more
pleasure out of gardening. He said
he had built three houses in Salem
and in each Instance he had found
pleasure in starting gardens. He
:.aid lie likes occasionally to take
the river road from Salem to Wheat
land and St. Paul, not so much for
the historic memories that cling
around these old settlements but
because on the road occurs not a
single si-n board. He spoke on the
topic of building civic pride and de
clared it consists in improving nat
ural appearances. Mrs. F. E. Cham
