Mrs. X. Borson, chairman of the
Civics Committee of the V. |. A. has
very SenSibly suggested that the town
observe "Clean-Up" Day on
Monday, June 18th, which will be four
DAYS before the town enlertains at lun-
cheon the Florida Press Association.
By this il is expected that each citizen
will clean up his own premises and as
far as possible the streets fronting his
premises. The News earnestly seconds
the motion of Mrs. Borson, and suggests
that to make the observance OF the day
more effective that Mayor Graham issue
a proclamation in which he shall urge
upon the people the necessity of the
work. The city itself will no doubt be
willing TO put gang of men TO work
cleaning up Central avenue. Think OF
it, good people, and of how inviting the
general observance of such day would
make our little town, Cut down the
weeds and rake the rubbish aud dried
leaves off the street and burn them.
