Do the people of Norwalk' want
the city known for its residential
I notions? Do the merchants desire
I. greater population. and therefore a
greater volume of business? Do the
omcia‘ls of the city want af larger
grand list to enlarge the budgets
for the improvements that they and ‘
the residents of Norwalk are con-
stantly demanding? If so let‘s g'ct
back of the plan for zoning the
city.
Zoning is like landscape garden-
lng.. It keeps everything in its
proper place. Anyone knows that
’well laid out grounds are more at-
tractive than those where anything
is placed anywhere. No one plants
corn and tomatoes in their carefully
laid out flower garden. Zoning will
make the city more attractive.
Charles Hoyt. president of the
Board of Trade declares zoning will
double the population of Norwalk
within a short time. as it will make
the city attractive for those who are
being crowded out of the big pity.
There are heard voices raised
against the zoning plan. The col-
umns of The Sentinel are open to a
full discussion of the question. The
people of Norwalk would like to
hear both sides and every detail
each side has to offer. It's a big
question. One that must be decided
immediately in the interest of Nor-
walk.
Next week. Clean up, paint up
week. The health officer asks every
one in the city of Norwalk to clean
up for better health conditions. The
fire chief requests you to clean up
to prevent fires that cause destruc—
tion of homes and other property.
the school superintendent asks the
students to clean up to make our
city more presentable to ourselves
and our visitors. ’Ihe boy scout
chiefs asks the scouts to do it for
the same reason. And the mayor
wants you to clean up and paint up.
Continue to do so all next week and
and that—well keep things so that
every week of the year will be
clean up week for you.
Then next year we can use clean
up week to celebrate a year of
cleaning up.
Help boost Norwalk by helping the
playground fund which will help the
children to be better and stronger
citizens.

Mills. GEORGE ORVIS
Politics is by no means a recent
“fad" with Mrs. George‘ Orvis. Man-
chester, Vt.. who is one of the fem-
inine members of the Republican na
tional committee and. as such will
play a leading part in the coming
Republican presidental campaign.
Mrs. Orvis' political career started
in 1884 when she accompanied her
father. David K. Simonds. on a
speech making tour of Vermont in
the campaign of James G. Blaine.
Simmonds. a civil war veterantjour:
’nafiist. lavi’ye’r and’afdehtile’publicazi
served terms in both houses of the
V‘ermontslegislature.
Since the death of her husband in
1917. Mrs. Orvis has owned and op-
erated Equinox House. a summer
hotel at Manchester. In New York
City where she lives during the
winter. She has been a member of
the boards of directors of many
charitable organizations. She is now
managing the Nearly New Shop
which is conducted for her benefit
of several charity organisations. She
was recently re-elected president of
the board of trustees of Manchester
village for the third consecutive
term.
In the 1920 campaign Mrs. Orvis
was vice chairman of the Vermont
Republican ways and means' com-
mittee. She is known as a. woman of
exceptional business ability and ex-
perience.
Forest—Protection
President Coolidge. by proclaiming
April 31-27 Forest Protection Week.
has asked the American people to
give common thought to the pro-
tection of our forests from tire.
Forest protection Week is in no
sense a time set apart to lament
the annual wastage of our forests
by fire, declares the
Forestry Association. It is s. call
to fir! the American conscience
with the national need of forest
forest fire prevention.
Why is it necessary to have’ a
Forest Protection Week? The ques-
atention to the damage in the
United States by forest fires during
a period of five years.
According to records available.
over 50,000.00 acres are burned
over every half decade and the
value of timber and property des-
troyed aggregates $85.0 00.000.
Every year forest fires in the United
States destroy or damage enough
timber to build homes sufficient to
house the entire population of a
city the size of Denver. San Francis-
co. Atlanta, New Orleans or “fash-
ington. D. C. The average number
of woodland fires ’ which occur
every year amount to 36.000, of
which 86 per cent. are caused by
people who apparently have not yet
grasped the lesson which Forest
Protection Week is designed to
teach. ‘
Forest fires are held by many to
be a greater drain .u.n the nation‘s
timber reserve than the woodsmnn’s
ax. Certain it is that forest fires
are hastening the day when the na-
tion. will. like Old Mother‘I-Iubbard.
find its forest cupboard bare.
Few people appreciate the great
call upon our forests by practical-
ly every industry in the country
The wood removed annually from
our forests if sawed into co'rdwood
boards would construct a. wall 4
feet thick and 12 feet high. reaching
twice around the world at the
equator. Such an‘ imaginary wall
would make the Great Wall of
China. one of the marvels of his-
tory. sink into insignificance.
This staggering volume of wood
is drawn from the forests annually
to support the nation's industries.—
not merely the lumber and wood us-
ing industries. but the railroads. the
mines, the automobile factories, the
shipment of the products of our
farms and our factories. More than
seventy vital industries of the na-
tion use the forests.
The building indgstry converts
the lumber into bellies the’_back-
ground .of our American‘ life. and
into other buildings. ”Need is the
main material of 98 per cent’of the
rural homes offthe United States.
and of 00 per cint to 90 per cent.

era is merely one of many trade.
