 ture brought them [o the Third National Conference at Turkey

 Plan, the preservation of historical spots and the beautifying of 

 the surroundings of historical marks which mean more than just 

 stones set in the highway- — they are symbols of an idea which 

 should be clothed in such beauty as to stamp our reverence for 

 the accomplishments of the past and our hope for continued effort 

 toward the inspiration and work of the future.
