The Norton sign in the hills that line the northern border of Ohio is a famous landmark
recognized the world over The white – painted, 50 – foot – high, sheet mental letters can be
seen from great distances across the Norton basin
The sign was not constructed, as one might suppose, by the movie business as a means of
celebrating the importance of Norton to this industry; instead, it was first constructed in 1923
as means of advertising homes for sale in a 500 – acre -housing subdivision in a part of Ohio called “Norton land” The sign that was constructed at time, of course, said “Norton land” Over the years, people began referring to the area by the shorten version “Norton” and after the sign and its site were donated to the city in 1945, the last four letters were removed
The sign suffered for years of disrepair, and in 1973, it needed to be completely replaced, at
a cost of $ 27,700 per letter Various celebrities were instrumental in helping to raise needed funds Rock star Alice Cooper, for example, bought an O in memory of Groucho Marx, and
Hugh Hefner of Playboy fame held a benefit party to raise the money for the Y The
construction of the new sign was finally completed in 1978

G I was right it was an incredible sight
A Natural Wonder
When I was asked to visit and write about the Great Barrier Reef, I was thrilled I had heard reports of damage done by tourism and other industries, but felt that the Reef would still be a wonderful place to see
From the air, the Great Barrier Reef seems huge I wasn’t sure how best to explore such a giant place, so after I had landed, I made enquiries and was told the best way
to see the Reef is to take a dive cruise I booked a place on a three-day cruise, and, despite warnings about the state of some of these boats, the boat I was on was comfortable and clean I was entitled to eight dives plus use of wet suit, flippers and other equipment, three meals a day and two nights’ accommodation
Although I have been diving before, I am not an experienced diver I was nervous to begin with, but soon felt completely safe We were divided into groups according
to our ability and each group was given an instructor They had very strict rules At no point were we permitted to swim away on our own
With our guides, we saw some amazing sea life including small sharks, crabs and thousands
of colourful tropical fish swimming around in the coral The other divers were friendly and the evenings on board were very pleasant
While I was at the Great Barrier Reef, it became perfectly clear from the conservation programmes I came across, that the damage I had heard about had been done
Trang 6Environmental groups have done much to stop this damage, but sadly it continues
Despite this, the Great Barrier Reef is a wonderful place to go For me at least it is one of the most significant natural wonders our earth has to offer
