Clean Up Week Mareh 29th to
Ad hsdth
With cleanliness lacking, it is hopa
lesa to expect good morals. Religion
' without clean leas is open to grave
suspician of ita genuineness. Per
sonal clean lines t ia of first import-
but a clean person without
clean premisea would be a misfit.
: In fact, to have a clean city, ws most
have clean people, clean bouses,
clean yaids, clean lota and clean
streets The town asanmee responsi
bility for the last item. It looks to
the citizens of the town to take care
of the rest.
Therefore, I designate the week
beginning Monday, March 29th, and
cloeing Saturday, April -3rd, aa
CLEAN DP WEEK lor the town
of Graham.
\ It is earnestly requested that the
houaekeepers will, during the week,
clean up all aabea, rubbish and trash
on their premises and place aame in
street conveniently to be hauled by
the garbage wagons.
The town officials will put forth
their best efforts to insure success of
1 the work, and it is earnestly request
ed that the various organizations of
the women of the town, the Superin
i tendent of schools and the ministers
, of the different churches, give their,
co-operation in order that this may
be a complete success. It is hoped
by this meana tt> make Graham a
clean town as well as a beautiful
town.

between Oak Ridge and the Uni
, versity of North Carolina.
Mr. Earl P. Ilolt of Oak Ridge
and graduate manager, Mr. Chas. T.
Woollen of the ifni versity, have
made this event a fixed affair for each
1 Easter Monday at Harden Park, and
never heretofore has either Oak
Ridge or Carolina had such teama,
or such material out of which to pay
, teams as each of them has this year.
Oak Ridge will play the Winston-
Salem League Club in Winston-
Salem on Saturday, April 3rd, and
the baseball enthusiast, who will
get report on this game, will get a
line on the strength of the 1920 O. k
Ridge team.
The grounds at Harden Park are
having more work done on ihem this
spring than has eyer been done.
The manager lias purchased a trac
tor of the crawler or catterpillar
type and such earth surfacing equip
ment to be pulled by this tractor,
and the diamond at Harden Park
will be in better condition, barring
rain, tban it has ever been before.
