Cleanup Week.

Now is the time to do or die,

Recently the Navajo Club ap-
pointed a committee on Civic
Betterment, Sanitation, E tc.
This committee, working in har-
mony with the Parents Classes
in Snowflake, Taylor and Shum-
way, (Taylor having already
commenced), have started a
Cleanup Week campaign. The
Navajo Club recommends the
objects of the movement in every
community in the county. The
plan is about as follows: A COM
mittee is chosen of represent
ative citizens to boost the move
ment. After the specified time
of Cleanup Week." the COM
mittee inspects everybody's
premises. By common consent
everybody accepts suggestions
from the committee, and they
never cease to suggest until
everybody's premises are clean
and sanitary. After the inspec-
tion by the committee, report is
made as to work done. At the
end of Cleanup Week" a gen
eral call is made to clean streets
and other premises where owners
or residents are not able to do
the work for themselves. After
this. everybody takes on a clean
and healthy smile, and all are
happy. Cleanup Week" in
Snowflake ends next Saturday,
April 27.

number of men remaining to be called
outside of those who failed to report
when instructed to do so.
County Food Administrator F. S.
Moody has issued a strong appeal to the
people of Tuscaloosa county to rigidly
observe the rules and regulations of the
federal food administration.
"As far as my information goes" says
Mr.. Moody, the citizens of this county
rules of the food administration, which
is highly commendable, such action te-
ing thoughtful and patriotic. But it can
not be too strongly impressed upon ol:r
people that millions of men, women and
children in Europe are looking to the
United States for bread and meat while
this country at the present time has a
quarter of million soldiers in Europe
and these soldiers will be absolutely
without 1000 unless lney get II from the
United States.
while it may be true that most of the
retailers are trying to observe the law
Mr.. Moody's statement continues, I'VE
have to add that it has been whispered
to the county food administrator that the
law is not universally observed. ITO the
parties giving this information we have
replied that if they would furnish us with
the names of the violators we would for
ward their names to the state admin.s-
traitor at Montgomery"
The efficiency of the Tuscaloosa police
department is demonstrated by a big
scoop pulled off by members of the force
yesterday, when they recovered 10 out OF
IL pairs of shoes stolen from freight
car in the Mobile and Ohio yards and
had the alleged thief under arrest be-
fore the robbery was reported. Chester
