When passing along the streets Of our
town, one can but notice the different
appearance. Some streets show an ac-
cumulation of old paper boxes. paper
bags, rags and litter in quantity, while
other streets have nothing in the way of
filth and rubbish to mar the appearance.
How easy it would be for each citizen to
have a receptacle for trash and burn the
as often as need be, instead of
the streets. Remember the town
can only be as clean as the most Uttered |
street or dooryard. 1t is not the writer s |
desire to use the columns of this valua- |
bic paper as cat S paw" even if the /

ance, but like Paul Pry' we believe a |
certain amount of criticism makes for /
progress; by calling the attention of the
public to certain evils that ofttimes have
become so common we seem to pass them
by without notice.
1t is frequent occurrence to hear foul
language on our streets. Indeed. certain
swear repeatedly without re-
straint. 1t would seem since the use of
is violation of the town ordi-
1ances, that this nuisance could be
stopped. Surely, the man who can I run
lis home, his shop, his store or his farm.
without the use of profanity, is a poor
manager. He had better give the man
lgement over to his wife and boys or hire
lomeone who could do the work without
disturbing the peace.
