Cherrydale Association Calls for
Clean Up and Paint Up by All
Citizens Of Virginia Town.

washington's cleanup and paint-up
crusade has spread beyond the borders
of the District. The Cherrydale Citf-

tice to every resident in town, calling
upon all of them to clean up. paint up

to this civic appeal. not only with lib
eral applications of paint and white
wash. but by general town clean up.

exhortatfon in these words:
Let us get together and make our
community clean and attractive. In
order to bring this about arrange
ments have been made by the Cherry
dale Citizens Association to have our
annual cleanup campaign the last
week in April. Will you cooperate
with the committee by placing all ref
use. except ashes. in convenient con-
tainers. accessible to the driver, who
will commence collecting on Thursday,

The committee has in charge the
distribution of money prizes for the
hest kept premises, best kept front

ing committee: w. G. Greenwich. j. L.

DECORATIVE VALUES
OF PAINT DISCUSSED
Thoughts on Clean Up-Paint Up
Campaign From the Archi-
tect's Viewpoint.

The artistic side of painting, from
the viewpoint of the architect. has been
called forth by the present clean up
paint up campaign in Washington. Be-
cause many persons have been making
inquiry regarding salient features or
the decorative values of paint. The Star
has this week obtained interviews on
this subject from authorities. This ar
ticle shows how the structure itself can
be shown to the best advantage by
careful selection Of paint.
Views on Property Protection.
It was prepared by Delos H Smith.
who says:
I'm all communities the property
owner today fully realizes the protec-
tive value Of paint, and in Washington
we find many contrasts and object les
sons which show how fully the mate

tains the dollar value of a structure,
for the ravages of the weather and re-
sultant deterioration due to neglect
cause the bad things to be RACED and
replaced, while the fine old colonial
places persist as cherished landmarks.
"Ruskin tells us that painting of
structures is bad painting when it IS
used to disguise the underlying mate
rial.
Technique of Design Considered.
'"The architect calls upon the painter
to serve another purpose. and to this
end something of the technique of de-
sign must be understood by the painter.

use of the colors and tints of paint
