Villages in other countries are generally much superior to phosg of the Upited‘StttLu ie hn en dranbanrecs P in design, in the character of their streets and ‘public buildings, and in their _ approaches and recreation spots.

An attractive vilâ€" lage, says the department, is an imâ€" portant influence in stabili‘z.ing farm 9w C en e 0 c Ain wl frs Examples of Leadership Some examples of leadership \in this respect are recorded by the deâ€" partment of agriculture, which has been studying the problem of village planning from the standpoint of its importance to the rural community: and tinrticularly to the farmer. â€" _ â€" It is more as a buying than as a selling place that the farmer makes ‘use of the village. In marketing his principal products he generally deals "g | a#) P\Jll‘llv EFERTITOITCT life and in counteracting the attracâ€" tions which cities have for the young people of the farms. As the farmer‘s chief point of contact with outside inâ€" terests, the village can make a big contribution to the happiness of farm life, even if it be considered from no other standpoint that the fact that it is the place where the farmer spends ll large part of his income. t f Local Initiative Nok Whéx‘ vilages are being made moré beautiful, the impetus has come in nearly every case from local initiaâ€" tive. Villages that have wellâ€"planned streets, attractive recreation gpots, and p}e’asing approaches are Qurly always indebted for these advantages to the energy and \gnblic spi{’lt of | 1| some small group of itizens. Under such â€" inspiration dump heaps have been turned into garden â€" spots, un= sightly shacks and dilapidated stores have been torn down and replaced § | by smart, substantial business buildâ€" ings, and extensive programs of landâ€" M\ scape gardening and tree DP nting § have been undertaken. Vill es that " have embarked on this path a findâ€" ‘ing that beauty pays. It improves local business and. attracts tourist business. It enhances real u&te valâ€" ues, and has a powerful lnflq‘tnee in \taising individual sundn\ds ‘of effiâ€" | cleney and enterprise.
