The Country Town
Social Safeguard.

The same reason exists for a
national policy to stimulate the pros
perity and uDbuilding of the country
towns and villages all throughout
the entire country wherever
they may be located. The
social environment of the country
town creates wholly different type
of citizenship from the slums or the
tenement districts of the great
cities. The pressure of poverty in
hard times does not bear down so
hard on the working people. There
is an atmosphere of human sympathy
and mutual helpfulness in rural CON-
munities that prevents the acute
DrivatiOn that faces the worker who
is long out of employment in the
great city.
1t is this stability of all conditions
of life and society that makes the
co lntry towns anchors of national
safety in any time of social or indus
trial stress, and the nation should
at once wake up to this fact and
stop legislating to make cities bigger
at the expense of the country towns.
The trend for many years has been
to build up the cities at the expense
of the towns. This must be stopped,
and every loyal and patriotic citizen
should do all he can to help to stop

Manufacturers as class should

such associations cooperating to-

The edict has gone forth that the
citizens of Warren must clean up
their yards, back alleys and streets.
Every man, woman and child, who
has the welfare of the city at heart,
and takes pride in the looks of the
town. should lay aside all other cares
and duties and devote the day to
making Warren "the city beauti-
ful.''
All rubbish and unsightly and un-
sanitary objects should be picked up
and carted away. The "cleaning
up" process is not only to make the
city more beautiful to the eye, but
also to make it more sanitary by the
removal of disease breeding filth.
And after the city is cleaned up.
efforts should be made to keep it
clean all the time. No one should
be allowed to litter up the streets in
the future. A source of much untidi-
ness is the throwing around of waste
paper. Women are not the least
offenders in this respect. 1t is so
easy to get rid of paper by throw
ing it out doors, never thinking that
the wind will roll it in the dirt and
perhaps deposit it in the.neighbor's S
front yard. Waste paper should be
burned-never throw out doors.
Warren with it's beautiful lawns
and pretty homes, clean streets and
alleys and neat and tidy places of
business. will indeed be a ''city
