- THE HONORASLE IVAN ALLEN
MAYOR OF ATLANTA, GEORGIA

My dear Mr. Mayor:

Sometimes I walk around the lake in
Piedmont Park. It is a beautiful park,- if you look
heavenward and see all the gorgeous trees. But if you
look on the ground or at the edges of the lake, the
aspect is revolting. I wish you had taken a walk
around the lake yesterday as I did. “America the Beau-
tiful": is that a laugh!

But it could be beautiful, Mr. Mayor, just as our
government reservations and many foreign countries are.
The difference hinges on one little word: DISCIPLINE.

For goodness sake get our park policemen trained to
catch the pigs in the act of desecrating our recreation
areas and see that some worth-remembering stiff fines
are meted out, If there is any resistance let the
police know they'll be backed up if someone is hurt.

Yours for at least a few spots in town which are
unpolluted by the characters that use them.

e. aAGsz,
PHILIP S. G t

Brigadier General, U.S. Army
Retired.
