ALL new ENGLAND
IS PREPARING NOW
For the Cleanup and Paint-up Cam
uaign Which Opens Monday.
May |, 1916

The New England Cleanup and
Psint-Up Campaign Committee has
organized for the 1916 Campaign
This movement is now in its thirt
year here in New England, and it is
hoped that all cities and towns In
this section will cooperate in the
campaign this spring.
The general Cleanup and Paint
Up Committee was first organized
December 90. 1914, the idea being tC
enlist all Public Spirited Citizens
in New England to set aside a
week or two each spring for gener-
al public and private cleanup, every
body old and young joining in a
campaign to tidy things up, get rid Of
rubbish, repair broken down places,
eliminate unsanitary conditions and
renovate premises outside and in

NEW ENGLAND ADVANCE

The development OF community
spirit through united action in
movement like this, for the public
welfare, is step in the right drec-
ion. 1t Is not much of a step from
getting people to clean up, to making
hem realize the value Of orderly sur
roundings, and It has been noted by
he civic workers that young people
especially are educated by these
movements.
AS newspaper writer APPLY puts it
The coming business balders of
New England stimulated end given
heir opportunity through civic pride
and cleanup work. will Not be men
md women of narrow vision, but will
grasp the possibilities Of this section
We of today must give the vision,
The plan, the ground work of New
Englands advance If this Is revealed
TO virile youth New England will
emerge the richest and most progress
sive section of the county as she is
now the most attractive.
"Longfellow said that when God
concluded to develop New England,
He took the best wheat of three con
tinents and sifted that The mixed
strain of many races are now in the
melting pot, and to the choicest of
these, now in the crucible OF test,
must New England look for leader
ship and advance
How important then, that these
unknown hosts be trained in civic
work, responsibility, patriotism and
good citizenship. This cleanup and
paint-up movement is one Of the fac
tors that determine the future of
New England and America 1t builds
men"
I'm enlisting under the Cleanup
and Palnt-up banner we may honest
ly feel that we are on the side of
happiness and prosperity for the ben
eft Of ourselves, our neighbors, and

n ing conditions, both physical and
moral, due almost entirely to the
efforts of women workers in the Ma
tional "Clean Up and Paint Up" cam
paign, according to Allen w. Clark,
chairman of the national campaign
bureau, in st. Louis.
1t is estimated that during 1915
more than a million women took part
in the campaign for civic progress and
human uplift which frightened the
lives and homes of millions from Ban
gor, Me-, to San Diego, Cal. The
growth and development of the ma
tional Clean Up and Paint Up cam
paign, has been in leaps and bounds
since its inauguration" he said.
Individual women. women's clubs
and women's organizations of all kinds
for civic and moral improvement have
joined forces in this great work which
reaches into practically every phase
of life. Letters have poured in by
the thousand at the bureau headquar-
tiers from women inquiring how to
start the work in their communities
Many of these indicated that the old
fashioned "parlor" variety of woman
civic worker was dying sure and
natural death, and that serious-minded
women were coming to realize more
and more every day the big work that
is before them.
Women Led the Way.
II don't believe we realized the far
reaching extent Of the work we had
undertaken until the women showed
us" said Mr.. Clark. "The permanent
features of the "Clean Up and Paint
Up" idea were what seemed to gain
their immediate Endorsement. Their
old idea of a spring housekeeping,
which l believe, originated in New
England, seems to have been dropped
entirely, and the women's organiza-
tons of the New England states are
among the very hardest workers for
an all-year-round policy"
1t would be an impossible task to
name in person even small percen-
tage of the women who have done &C.
tive and efficient work since the ma.
tional bureau inaugurated its system
in the spring of 1918. Some few of
them, however, are such women as
Mrs. Clarence Baxter of Kirksville,
Mo-, vice chairman of the civics de-
partment Of the National Federation
Of Women's clubs; Mrs. e. T. Sen
seney, chairman of the pure food COM
mittee of the Consumers league of ST
Louis; Mrs w. R. Chivvis, president
Of the Missouri Federation of Wom-
ems clubs; Mrs Philip N Moore of
st. Louis, past president of the Ma
tional Federation Of Women's clubs,
and Mrs. Thomas Sherwin, chairman
of the department of streets and al
leys of the Women's Municipal league
of Boston
Much Work This Year.
The work of the bureau as planned
for this year will be more comprehen-
sive in its scope than before 1t will
include everything that will beautify,
improve sanitation and tend to the
health Of the community. Some of the
things to be done are the cleaning Of
streets, alleys, front and back yards,
cellars and stables, removal of ashes,
carting away of tin cans and all rub
bish from vacant lots, burning or
hauling away all garbage, filling in or
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1916-05-12

doing away with breeding places of
mosquitoes, flies or disease germs, the
planting and trimming of trees and
hedges, planting of flowers, and the
liberal use of paint on everything
that needs it.
In many instances last year the
planning and experimenting of the
work has put entirely in the hands
Of some efficient women's organization
in the city or town. The files at the
national Clean Up and Paint Up"
campaign headquarters in ST. Louis
Assistance in starting a campaign
in any community in the United States
will be given free of charge by the ma
tional bureau, Mr.. Clark explained,
upon receipt of a request from any
woman or womens organization Aid
can also be secured from Mrs. Clar-
ence Baxter, chairman of the Wom-
ems committee of the national bureau,
or from any of the other civic leaders
constituting the bureaus advisory
committee.
Be Perpetualy at 1t.
Mrs. Baxter and Mrs. Senseney are
helping women's clubs everywhere to
accomplish in their towns what was
accomplished in st. Louis last year.
The womens clubs conducted the en-
tire campaign in st. Louis, Boston
and many smaller cities last year and
in thousands of other places they are
aiding the men effectively. The open
ing weeks in many places will be
only the beginning of perpetual Clean
Up and Paint Up" campaigns. They
will be of immense value" wrote Mrs.
Baxter recently, lin arousing civic
consciousness in practical sanitation
and conservation and in actual bust
ness activity in the community. Many
people spend hundreds of dollars fur
sional caller gets to admire them. A
much smaller amount spent on coat
Of paint for the exterior, a general
cleaning up of the premises and a few
flowers would give pleasure to thou
sands of passers-by and their friends
as we'll"
Both of these women are in daily
correspondence with leading club
women, in several thousand women's
clubs, in the effort to make the local
Clean Up and Paint Up" campaigns
the foundation upon which to build
and conduct various other community
betterment activities in which serious
minded club women everywhere are
so interested.
Newspapers Give Help.
Editors of newspapers from coast
to coast have taken up this work of
the women and are aiding them in
both the news and editorial columns
and most of them are unanimous in
declaring that the chief value of the
work is that it aims at permanent re-
form and continued effort
Ministers are also aiding the women
in their work by preaching appro-
pirate sermons on civic cleanliness
and kindred topics. The wife of one
earnest, hard working clergyman in a
southern town. in which the campaign
was in progress. wrote in a letter to
the national bureau that if more peo-
pie were as sincere in their religion
as they are in this Clean Up and
Paint Up" movement the world would
be much better place in which to
live.
