IS AMERICAS TO HAVE
A CLEANING UP DAY.?
Movement Is Started By
Other Towns

Is Americas to join the progressive
South Georgia towns in Cleaning
Up" movement? About twenty of
these thrifty Georgia towns have set
apart what they cali "Clean-Up' days,
to be observed during the next two
weeks. There is no common date but
there is a common idea, and that is to
clear residence premises of trash and
such accumulations of rubbish rs
would conduce to the breeding of mos
quitoes and flies. Now at the threshold
of spring, is the time to think Of
the cleaning-up proposition, and it is
quite as important a matter in the
city as in the country. The city has
an advantage in the matter of house
drainage, plumbing and that sort of
thing; but this advantage is discount
ed if back yards are not kept clean, if
stagnant water is permitted to stand
about the premises for the breeding of
mosquitoes and if fly incubators are
are permitted to exist That "cleanli
ness is next to goodness" has become
a proverb; that it is the means 20
health IS an established scientific fact.
And now is the time to clean up.
