1917 CLEANUP CAMPAIGN.
Cleanliness is next to Goodness"
Never was there truer axiom. For
| if we strive to be clean, we strive to
be pure and if we strive to be pure we
strive tobe Cody. The Governors
proclamation sets aside Aprail as the
great cleanup time for the state. Let
Cordele fall in line and individually
and collectively begin to plant for
this important campaign for next
month, striving earnestly for city
clean, city beautiful, a city healthful'
May the "clean up" spirit possess us;
become as contagious as the balmy
spring air which pervades all the at.
mosphere. A movement to promote
cleanliness and civic pride should ap-
peal to every one. Let us not con-
fine our love of the beautiful to our
selves and the four walls of our
homes, but link ourselves together an
endless chain of effort for the better
ment of our little city in cleanliness,
healthfulnes sand beauty, that it may
be indeed, ga gem of the purest ray"
and the settings truly an enhancement
Of the Jewels value.
Here are some Of the many things
we are told we should do in our clean
up campaign:
Set your neighbor a good example.
Remove all rubbish from your at
tic, cellar, back yard and alley.
Remove and clean all carpets and
hanging for the summer.
Scrub floors, railways and al unvar-
nished woodwork thoroughly.
Use plenty of soap and hot water.
Clean all windows and keep them
open to fresh air and sunlight.
Ventilate damp cellar. Exterminate
rats, flies and al vermin.
After cleaning, paint or whitewash
your buildings, outhouses, fences, etc.,
both inside and outside. Paint kills
germs.
Put your walks in first class condi-
ton.
Plant trees, shrubs and flowers in
! suitable places. Keep your lawn in
good condition.
If you rent, ask your landlord to re-
pair leaky roofs and plumbing, and to
repair dirty, broken walls and ceilings,
fences, walks, ETC.
If there is vacant lot in your neigh
borhood, see that it is thoroughly
cleaned up.
Report all dirty or unsanitary places
in your neighborhood to the health de-
partment.
The educational influence of such
campaigns will remain in a town the
year through, eliminating many nui-
sances caused formerly by carelessness
or thoughtlessness. Cleaning-up week
starts civic awakening, and the pub
lie generally will take a greater in
tcrest in civic affairs, making a more
efficient city and town government,
better streets and better sanitary con-
ditions
The following is the Introduction of
the proclamation issued by the secre-
tary of the Iowa state board of health:
Little beds of flowers,
Little cans of paint,
Make homes attractive
Out of them that amt"
There is no one movement at this
season of the year that will have a
greater influence for good than "Clean
Up and Paint Up"
