CLEAN UP WEEK.

Observation-Disclosures l-,-t-fV'-iS'vS
Once more the Civic League has
designated a definite week for clean
ing up the town and that week be-
gins next Monday, October 25. And
once again The Lancaster News asks
cooperation in the work. Never was
a town in greater need of cleaning up.
Many property owners in Lancaster
have been careless. Housekeepers,
store keepers, the town authorities,
all of us in fact. have long neglected
the proper care of our own as we'll as
the municipal property, until the signs
of our neglect are all too apparent
There is no need to specify the things
that need attention, as we have al
ready so frequently called attention
to them. There is a department of
the Civic League known as the city
Beautiful" committee and the women
who serve on this committee want to
accomplish certain definite results
which can only be accomplished
through cooperation. other commit
tees are also dependent on general
response from the public. This clean
up work is the only thing for which
the Civic League has ever appealed
to the citizenship as a whole. They
need cooperation and must have it if
the work is to succeed. 1t isn't much
to ask people to do what they ought
to do regularly without being asked.
Just take their request as a little re-
minder of your obligation to yourself,
your family and your neighbor. If
the community as whole responds,
if there are tangible results of coop
Grafton and whole hearteded interest
in the campaign other work will soon
be attempted. But we all realize
that these good women can do moth
ing until the foundation is laid.
Therefore, let's help them, every one
of us.
Would we want people to judge
what manner of people we are by
the way this town appears? Are
strangers attracted to us when they
see grass, mud and paper on the
streets and "sloughs Of despond" at
every crossing? Do not such condi-
tions rather repel them and are we
not judged by the sort of town we
live in? Lancaster is a better town
than our streets, back lots and alleys
would lead one to believe. We are a
progressive people in most respects,
progressing and alert but this one
thing we lack-pride in the appear
ance of our town. True we have not
had muct to inspire pride heretofore.
But let's turn new page in city
housekeeping. Let's turn to clean
page and let's keep it clean. Begin
Monday. Start thai day and keep
at it till the work is finished
