Committee on Better Lawns Makes Awards ph;lip Thierolf, 1st, Mrs. Mattie G Wiles, 2nd, Edwart Donat and Fred Prohaska, JV ?id From Friday's Dall. The committee to which was as signed the task of trying to deter mine the most attractive lawn in the city, has found that its task was more difficult than had at first been anticipated, the commmittee finding that a great number of the residents of that city had the most attractive surroundings around their homes and in which it was a difficult matter to make any determination of the most attractive. Several of the smaller homes of the community had wonderful sur roundings and which represented much effort on the part of the own ers and reflected the pride that the owners had in their homes and in the beautifying of which they had been in sparing of their efforts. This matter of real efforts made in trying t make the surroundings of the home as beautiful as possible was consid ered by the committee as one of the great steps toward a city beautiful and especially where the personal Jabor of the owners was represented j 1,1 In making the selection the com- mittee of course found that the Ne braska Masonic Home had by far the finest piece of landscaping in the city but as the contest was for in dividual lawns they were compelled to pass the Home with the citation of being the most beautiful spot in the city in its landscaping.
