And with it all the beautiful dis plays of Mother Nature. This, along with many other things indicates the changing of sea sons. All this is beautiful — until the unappreciative creature call ed man comes along. He de- stroiys it by littering up the landscape. Some even go so far as to cause forest fires which destroy all the beauty of autumn. Pretty birds going south also make up “fall.” If all the trees were gone, then the beautiful birds would be gone. Think more carefully before you act this autumn. Don’t throw paper on the ground and please put out all small fires. We wouldn’t want to ruin all this beautiful scenery, would we?
