Is THIS GERMANY?
Women on North Main Street Clean
the Streets.

A stranger walked up North Main
street last Saturday. He had pro-
ceeded about block beyond the
West Side school when he came upon
scene that set his brain awhirl
For a moment he thought he was in
Germany and had to feel of his head
several times to make sure it was on
right. The spectacle that met his
gaze was that of two women cleaning
the street
The story. as told by William Pen
ter, resident of that locality, is that
the street committee had done some
cleaning thereabouts several weeks
ago but had run out of funds or be-
come busted with other affairs and
had not removed the piles of dirt
they had caused to be swept up. The
recent rain scattered the refuse anew
and the street presented anything but
cleanly appearance. So the two
women, whose names were not men
toned, despairing of relief, got
wheelbarrows, brooms and shovels
and after two hours of strenuous eff
fort had their portion of the street
quite presentable. Meanwhile other
residents were busy and now several
rods of pavement are an example of
cleanliness that might be emulated.
