Colorful, lively, add a great deal to the landscape. Just whatwas needed tosdd spark to the dull Upstate scene. And they supply valuable information -gas station, motels. and the like. 'What do we think of it? It's just lousy citizenship, that's all. To sell a few gallons of gas, or attract a couple of motel customers, the public- spirited people in these enterprises are will- ing to sacrifice the state's heritage of natural beauty. Now the federal government is trying to stiffen up the laws, but it will be some years before the steps take effect. And the billboard rascals will have been able to do a good dral of building between now and then. Pease clip and use the following when- ever opportunity offers.
