about sanitary conditions, improve
the public health and beautify the
city.
This work will not be done by COM
mittees. It Will be done by all the
people working not by schedule but
by inspiration. Augusta has at least
40 dumps, each more OF less of a
menace to health 4 committee will
attempt something in the way of get
ting rid of many Of these dumps. The
river banks are unsIghtiy and un-
healthful. These are now being
cleared of their age old aecrmulations
of rubbish and filth Under direction OF
a competent committee
In other matters the real purpose OF

ccmplished, if al all. by the individual
citizen taking held Of the proposition
With real enthusiasm and Joy. Al
most everybody may find some i'm
provement possible in his lawn or
yard. 1t is suggested that the last
years flower bed be repaired or a new
one made; that a tree be set here ard
there; that war be declared against
the old tin can and other unsightly
rubbish; that wherever possible old
and broken fences be permanently
removed, and that the rake and the
hoe and the wheelbarrow be made to
serve the community for day.
Once we have cleaned house, few
"don'ts':
Don't neglect your lawn.
Don't visit that handy dump with
your wheelbarroW.
Don't allow your truckman to dump
your rubbish in any handy place by
the roadside.
Don't clutter that back yard.
Don't throw paper and other waste
matter into the streets
Don't throw waste on the river
banks.
Don't knock but lift.
Catch the spirit Of clean up day
and Rave a real part in an awakening
of civic pride.
For the Committee.
