HOARDINGS TO GO
FRENCH GOVERNMENT DECREE. 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 fields or ugly advertisements on houses. Side by side with this action a vigorous campaign is being directed against sight-seers who have the unfortunate habit of leaving waste paper or food tins about. By articles in the press, 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. France is determined to safeguard its natural beauties in every way.
