Others Will Work to Make Place
Inviting and HeaIthful.

Our town ought to have cleaning
such as has never been known here
before. The alleys, the lots, the build
ings, the homes, in fact, all parts of
the place should undergo general reno
walton. When it is all over we should
be able to give it the title Of "Spotless
Town" Let US get together and start
something.
The housewife should get to her
spring housekeeping. Mr.. Hubby
should be beating the carpets. It's the
time to Clean Up and Paint Up.
In other communities North, South,
East and West, the Clean Up and
Paint Up period has always been big
success. For that reason under the
present activity and growth, our town
should be able to show results that
will compare favorably with other
communities. The business men will
show an interest in the movement
and will lend support in any way pos
sible to aid in the cleaning up. They
think the Clean Up and Paint Up
movement is mighty good one, not
only to advertise, but to make the
town attractive for the visitor.

the Clean Up and Paint Up campaign
was big event last year, became dis
