Clerk.
T the recent session of the Pennsylvania legislat
ure a law was passed to protect rural beauty, a law
that will stop what almost every community in the Unit
ed States has had to contend with since the auto be
came popular. The new law makes it criminal for any
one to destroy trees or shrubbery on the land of another,
fixing a penalty of $25. for each tree or shrub broken.
That seems to be pretty stiff penalty, but citizens ar
ound Vernonia who have suffered from the depredal-
tions of motorists will hardly think so. Many cases of
vandalism are reported in the course of a year, and un
less laws like this one are passed in all states, but a few
years will have elapsed until such a thing as out-door
beauty will be only a memory. Nature never gave us
