CLEANING UP THE COUNTRYSIDE
Cleaning up the countryside is the object of a recent decree signed by the President of the French Republic. No' more advertising hoardings will be allowed to mar the landscape. A maximum of three years is, granted for the termination of all contracts for hoardings in holds or ugly advertisements on houses. Side by side with this action a vigorous campaign is being directed against sightseers who have the unfortunate habit of leaving waste paper or food tins about. By articles in the Press and exhortations on the radio everyone is asked to help in the national work of keeping the countryside beautiful. The appeal has already borne fruit, but if persuasion should prove insufficient in the rare cases still persisting it is likely that a law will be passed making the leaving of waste paper or food tins a misdemeanour.
