A comprehensive scheme for the beautificution ot main roads leading to Wanganui from the Waitotara county is being carried out. The Maxwell Women's Institute is one of the leading units in the undertaking. After carrying out a splendid scheme of beautification to the county war memorial at Maxwell, the institute has turned its attention to the roads. Public-spirited citizens and settlers have assisted by giving trees, shrubs, seeds, and bulbs.
