INTRODUCTION .

Once again the P. E. I. Rural Beautification So- ciety is pleased to announce its Annual Competitions.

As in previous years the emphasis is on improve- ment and the home and school and community with the greatest room for improvement naturally has the greatest opportunity in the competition. -

This year we have added special prizes for school and community improvement, and for outstanding homes.

We have been greatly encouraged by the results of previous competitions and believe the efforts of several hundred people made annually towards im- provement of their dwellings and school properties will have a definite effect on the appearance of our whole rural countrysideSand make our Fair Island more at- tractive to its residents-more enticing to tourists.
