We welcome the pamphlet on The 'illage Pump : A
Guide to ?letter Garages, published for the Design and Industries
Association by Messrs. Sidgwick and Jackson (6d.): There -is no reason why petrol pumps and garages should be unsightly, and the photographs in this little book suggest many excellent ideas for their improvement. Sir Arthur Stanley, President of the Royal Automobile Club, tells the motorist that he should " give his custom to the petrol station which does not offend the eye " : he feels that this practical step will ensure a general improvement in these necessities of modern life. Another pamphlet which we are delighted to see, published by the Dryden Press (6d.) for the Council for the Preservation of Rural England, is called Let Us Tidy Up. Here we are given -many jingles and quotations from different papers on litter and its horror. It is probable that the entries which we quoted from our Anti-Litter Competition will be printed in a second pamphlet of this nature. It is often not realized that :—
'4. . ; . empty tins and tangled strings And paper bags are not the things To scatter where a linnet sings."
