Lincoln, Nebraska.
Special recognition is always
given persons whose emphasis lie
in good citizenship.
Lincoln is a fast moving city,
rapidly making civic improve
ments and providing opportuni
ties for cultural developement
and recreation. Hundreds of our
families are displaying active
participations in community pro
jects relating to such matters as
health, safety and beautification
of their homes, thus making a
definite contribution to the city.
The beautiful lawns, flower
gardens, shrubbery, porch and
yard furniture were all evidence
of this fact. During the difficult
job of judging in the recent an
nual Urban League Yard Clean
Up Campaign.
The Clyde Coulter home 2444
South 9 is outstanding .with its
beautiful iris hedge in full bloom
and the retaining wall on either
side making the place seperate
and distinct. The care of the
yard is comparable with Mrs.
Coulters idealistic housekeeping.
At the Page home 336 South
20th Street display of superior
color schemes and orderly ar
rangements was outstanding.
The property at 1029 Rose St.
has been completely revolu
tionized during the year of the
Randols occupancy. A lawn
front and back with beautiful
lilacs in keeping with the “Lilac
City” that Lincoln has become, as
well as other shrubbery, is an al
most unbelievable transforma
tion.
The Caesar’s, 1922 “T” not only
shows great improvements in the
re-arrangement of the yard but
the new driveway and walk, also
enhance its beauty.. t
Both the Lintz’s and Starks’
yards were individualistic and
marvelously significent. Both
families are newcomers and mak
ing a welcomed contribution to
our city.
