up movement be extended to a gen

and that paint up and clean UP day go
hand in hand. It has also been suE-
gested that cutting dandelions and
platains out of the lawns might be a
result Of the clean up day agitation
The alleys are the most neglected
parts Of the property about the city,
and the clean UP day committee is
placing particular emphasis on the
, cleaning up of the back yard as we'll
as the front yard Unsightly ash
heaps, and rubbish piles do more to
give town the black eye in the opin-
lon of visitors than anything else.
