 The winners appeal for the crusade fellows:
 Dear People of Plainville:
 We all like our town and should be willing to do anything to keep 1t in good condition. If we would have it look beautiful to ourselves as we'll as strangers we must make it heater, nicer, newer and brighter.
 How can we do this? We must not scatter papers, but if others do we should pick them up. Many care- less children mark buildings, fences and sidewalks This tends to lessen tile beauty of the place. We often see banana peels,. orange peels and apple skinsslying on the sidewalk or in the road. They are put there by someone Perhaps we do it ourselves. We should stop
 Lawns should be we'll moved. Rubbish and garbage should be put, in suitable place. If not they often spread disease. Flower gardens al- ways are welcome and brighten any dark spots. Most of us have seen children swinging or bending young trees. Often they are broken. This
