'Many times familiarity breeds eontempt and that which is well jg known is umlerrated and disearded just bet-ause it is familiar. It seems this is of especially true of these who live in rural regions. The elean. fresh air. the ij' absence of rush and noise. the wide. open spaces. the present-e of grass. 'gp trees, Howers and living things. and the open sky with its 'wondertul suurises and sunsets are either not notieed or little value is plac-ed upon them. As a f . g matter of fat-t. they form the basis of happy living and are mueh desired and sought for even bv those whose vocations are not rural.
