CIVIC LEAGUE
DEPARTMENT
DREAD Dl:
SEASE
On the principle of keeping ever
lasting as it brings success, the Civ
ic League of this city calls attention
to the fact that waste paper still
holds high carnival on the streets.
Would it be asking too much of
our home-keepers to see that all
waste paper is burned instead of be
ing thrown in the yards or on the
streets? The Civic League realizes
that nothing can be achieved with
out labor and the laborers are few.
The Civic Department does not un
dertake to. command. It only kindly
suggests and begs the co-operation
and support of every citizen of the
town.
purely, there should be enough
civic pride in Elizabeth City to see
that interest in civic improvements
does not lag, that every home owner
and home maker remembers not on
ly, to try to beautify her own premis
es, but try to persuade her neighbor
to do likewise. In many of our cities
a campaign is being made against
bill boards, Why should we no do
away with the unsightly advertise
ments which mar the beauty of our
streets? Near "The Raleigh" is a bill
board that strikes terror to the eye
and near our Public Building is
a poster which detracts mightly
from the beauty of the surroundings.
The bill board will soon he a
thing of the past in up-to-date towns
and we hope to see it abolished in our
own little city.
We feel that we can not do jus
tice to the public, but the following
from the "Portland Oregonian" ex
presses our sentiments.
No city that makes any preten
sion to decent appearance can
afford to permit bill boards any
where within its limits. These
most unsightly things offend all
taste and sensibility; they give
the city the appearance of a
cheap and nasty place; even on
vacant lots they should not be
allowed The push clubs and im
provement clubs and city 'beauti
ful clubs shoxild all take up the
war against them. Objection to
disfigurement, of buildings with
great letters that advertise cigars
and other things should be in
cluded in the raid. A public
opinion against these and all
similar abominations ought to be
created in Portland that would
taboo such monstrosities.''
April 24 to Be "National
Tuberculosis Sun
m
The National Association for the
Study, and Prevention of Tuberculos
is announces that on April 24, Na
tional Tuberculosis Sunday, will be
observed in all the churches through
out the United States.
1
Following the campaign against
consumption that have been carried
on in the churches in hundreds of
cities, and sermons on tuberculosis
that have been preached , thousands
of congregations during the past year
a movement has been started for the
establishment of a permanent tuber
culosis Sunday, on which it is hoped
that every one of the 33,000,000
chureh-gOers in the United States
will hear the gospel against consump
tion, Anti-tuberculous societies, la
bor organizations, fraternal orders,
together with churchmen of various
denominations have offered to join in
the movement, also all the large in
terdenominational organizations,
such as the Young Men's Christian
Association, the Young Women's
Christian Association, the King's
Daughters, the Kings' Sons and the
various young people's societies.
It has been planned, therefore,
that on April 24th, sermons on tub
erculosis and its dangers be preach
ed in all the churches. Literature
will be distributed among the mem
bers of the congregations of all the

A town is judged by its newspapers

thus a partner in its journalistic en

put its best foot forward, give the
home paper the support it needs to
