THE CORONATION
FURTHER SUGGESTIONS BEAUTIFICATION OF COUNTRYSIDE (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, 11th September. A list .of suggestions designed to stimulate towns and villages to adopt schemes to commemorate the coronation which would permanently beautify their localities is being prepared by the Coronation Planting Committee, comprising some thirty organisations interested in horticulture and the preservation of the amenities of the country side. In addition to local schemes it is proposed the committee should undertake some special piece of work as a token of the whole, such as an alpine garden in one of the London parks, a model playground, the planting of a coronation avenue, the creation of a model garden theatre, or the laying of 'a chief Empire park. It is anticipated that the permanent amenities schemes undertaken throughout the country in connection with the committee’s efforts will be recorded in book form for acceptance by the King.
