CIVIC PRIDE
Given time and under the stimulus which manifested
itself in many ways, Anchorage gives promise of becom
ing the beauty spot of Alaska.
With each year great advancement has been shown
in the erection of pretty homes. Now the work of beauti
fying the streets is under way and has the power of the
Anchorage Woman’s Club behind it. This work consists
of tree planting along the residential streets and beautify
ing of the park strip between sidewalks and curb. Work
is also under way in making a scenic spot of the “bowl”
directly behind the depot.
Already the effect of this display of good taste and civ
ic pride is manifested in the many pretty park strips.
Some contain perennials, others flowers, and still others
combine economy with art in having been planted to po
tatoes. Many of these park strips have produced suffi
cient potatoes to serve the family during the winter.
Man is like a trout. He develops according to the en
vironment. Give man a pretty home, a pretty city and the
element of pride which goes with it, and he expands men
tally and culturally.
