Your Mayor and the Board of Aider men seek the cooperation of every citizen, young and old, In this very commendable effort on the part of the Women’s Civic club, and other public spirited citizens to make our City one we may be proud of. A schedule of this undertaking will he found elsewhere In this newspaper, and there will be no difficulty In mak ing your plans fit In with all that has been worked out In the matter of trucking and moving trash and other details connected with the work. The first objective attained In a clean city Is that of better health, and living conditions, as a result of bet ter sanitary conditions resulting there from. Then there Is the matter oi uuuuhb our streets and homes more attrac tive, both to_our neighbors and to our many visitors, and In this connection X wish to stress, that we each and every one, make each day a "clean-up" day; we can accomplish this by keeping everything nice and neat on our own properties; and when I say properties, I do not mean just our homes, It will apply Just as properly to our places of business, whether it be a grocery or dry goods store, barber shop, garage or restaurant. Keep "slicked up." Un sightly messes of all kinds, Including papers, and what not, lying or flying around on a sidewalk In front of a place of business don’t look so "hot", and tho very little effort required to help tho Town boys keep this condi tion down, might pay pretty well. The first thing that a newcomer or visitor sizes up when he comes to town is the condition of he streets and sidewalks, and then later as he moves around. Is the attractive or, un attractive condition and appearance of our homes and business and public places. May we not hope that all our prospective friends will be favorably Impressed on their first visit, and then they will be sure to come again.
