CLEANUP DAY.

CLEANUP DAY.
The Civic Association Sets Aside
Thursday, 10Th Inst, as Day
for General Cleaning Up
Growth of the Association
Committees Appointed.
A meeting of the Civic Asso-
citation was held in the reading
room of the Industrial Club Fri.
day evening, the time for the
regular monthly meeting. At the
request of the president, Mrs. R.
D. Caldwell, Mr.. A. w. Mclean
presided.
The report of the president
showed a remarkable growth.
The association was formed on
the first OF April with less than
a dozen members, and now the
membership has grown to 14o.
Many others will join and it is
hoped that before long every
citizen who is interested in the
welfare of the town in any way
will become an active member.
Thursday of next week, the
10Th inst, has been suggested by
the association as cleanup day..
Mayor Rowland and the town
commissioners will be asked to
cooperate in the work and every
citizen of the town will be urged
to see to it that his premises are
put in absolutely cleanly condi-
tion on or before that day. Pam
phlets will be distributed setting
forth the necessity for absolute
cleanliness and giving sugges-
tions about how to use disinfect-
ants, etc. Every citizen of the
town should be interested in this
work and should relieve as much
as possible the committees under
whose supervision the work will
be done by cleaning up before
the day appointed. But on the
18th, at least, everybody will be
expected to get busy. Every IA
cility will be provided for dispos-
ing of the trash, etc. tits hoped
that owners of carts and wagons
will offer their services for that
day.
The Civic Association has
started out with the determina-
ton of improving conditions in
Lumberton and with its present
membership it will succeed. All
are invited and urged to join,
however, and help in the good
work. The following committees
