points for discussion and no doubt
Russia is doing the same. Presi

for having the. lot plowed and level

sufficiently to permit mowing, and
he "pointed out since ; that time

He added that the Health De

mowed but the ground must: be lev

of , the civic ; clubs meet at the
Health Center Friday, June 17 at
about 5:30 o'clock, equipped with
swing blades, bush hooks, hoes and
rakes to-dear and level the ground;
thus aiding the department to pre
