Mrs. Z. S. Dewey, secretary of the
Civic Improvement Committee of the
| Cairo Woman's Club, has issued a
call to the womea of Cairo particular
ly and citizens generally TO aid in
! identifying the city. Her plan is set
forth in the following card to the
public
The Civic Improvement Committee
of the Cairo Woman's Club want to
hank the mayor, city council and
friends who so nobly aided us On
Cleaning Up Day. We feel that our
war on rubbish and tin cans was a
success, a step forward.
We are anxious to have the Clean
Up movement go on. Our committee
is working with the understanding
that people are much influenced by
heir environments. The idea is to
have yards and streets perfectly
clean, and then to plant trees, flow
ers and vines as an aid toward beau
tifying our city.
I'VE desire to have our boys and
girls interested in this good work,
Would il not be great honor for
them to be known as an improver?
Let us fill up these unsightly holes
with plants and seeds and later on
have flowers where mire once reign
ed. Create sentiment that waste
paper ought to be gathered up and
burned instead of littering up our
streets.
Cultivate Vacant Lots.
Our idea would be to have a va
cant Lot branch in our society. Any |
one who wants to, may have a va
cart lot, if they will promise to cuI-t
tivate it, viii some OF our friends |
help us to a solution of this problem? I
Our idea is only a suggestion per
haps you have something better TO
suggest
Another unsightly nuisance is the
number of dead trees around our city
How may we get rid of them? Please
aid us.
Summer is coming on and the
leadly mosquito will soon be with us.
Can we not make war on them amt

about the pools OF water that ar"
