uARoH 21st A DAY OF PRAYER
FOR BEFTEK HEALTH CoNDI-

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-In re-
spcnse to numerous calls for sugges-
lions e to how National Negro Health
week may be observed, the following
for the FIRST day-sundHy, March 2lst
has been issued by the Executive
Committee Of the National Negro Bust
ness League, DR.. Booker 7. Wishing
ton, President. Specific instTpetion for
Observing ehe other days Of Health
Week win be published in booklet form
and distributed at an early date.
In order that the people may enter
heartily into the movement for better
health and to the end that the pro-
gram may be effectively carried out, it
is suggested that the ministers Of al
the Colored churches throughout the
nation, set aside the third Sunday in
Mareh-the 21st-as q DAY of
PRAYER for better health conditions
and that each minister arrange to
preach on this day a special health ser
mon to his congregation
In addition to this, each minister II
requested to arrange, whenever posi-
bic, appropriate services which shall
include a discussion Of local health con-
ditions and any other msstsn which
in his Judgment win make the Clean
up Week 6 sussssL

further suggested Tat each community
have q Cleanup committee which shall
investigate the conditions which men
ace the health Of their community, AZ
range the program to suit these condi-
tions and then see that the program is
carried out and that the community is
thoroughly and systematically cleaned.
In cities and communities where
there is designated a date other than
March 21st to 9th for general clean
ing, it may be well for the Colored peo-
pie in such cities and communities to
arrange for their cleaning to be done
on that date. These suggestions are
submitted for cities and communities
where no Cleanup Week has been des-
ignated.
WHY AN ENTIRE WEEK.-An
entire week is set apart, 50 that in
case Of cloudy or rainy weather, the
first fair days may be used to do the
cleaning.
