On Friday and Saturday of this
week. all citizens of Pendleton will
be expected to burn, bury or in some
other way eradicate all rubbish and
debris from about their residences for
those days have been officially desig
mated as the annual Cleanup Days,
according to the custom established
several years ago. An appeal is made
to all who feel the least pride in
their homes and in their home city to
join in the movement so that whoso-
ever passes through Pendleton will see
evidences of civic spirit which
makes a city desirable as place of
residence.
Mayor Matlock named the Clean-up
Days several weeks ago and the city
government will assist in a more ac-
tive way also toward the removal of
all unsightly accumulations from
| streets and lots. A number of wa
gons and teams will be secured with
which to haul away gratis all of the
rubbis which citizens gather. All that

or not the schools will close in order
that the children may assist their
parents in cleaning up the home

custom to dismiss school for a half
day but some of the authorities seem
to think that this action is unneces-
sary inasmuch as two days have been
fixed for the work and one of them
being Saturday However, it will
be decided this afternoon or tomorrow
whether or not the students will be
let out At any rate they will be set
to work on Friday cleaning up the
school premises and advice and sug-
gestions will be given them regarding
similar efforts at home.
