Cleanup Proclamation

In this time of war it is of su-
preme importance that every re-
source which we possess should
be conserved. Waste must be
eliminated. Every energy must
be bent toward the winning Of
the great war for human free"
dom.
Clean streets and alleys, clean
yards and clean homes tend to
prevent fire and thsrefore TO
conserve the country's material
resources. They like wise tend
to conserve the public health and
therefore the countrys man
power. Such homes create civic
and national pride and contribute
to the morale of both soldier and
civilian in times of trial like the
present.
THEREFORE: In order to bring
about a concerted effort all over
the state for fire prevention, the
improvement of sanitary condi-
tions. the prevention of disease
and the beautifying of streets
and homes, l, Arthur Capper,
Governor, do hereby designate
the week of
April Is to 20 Cleanup Week
in the State of Kansas, and urge
that every resident of Kansas
whether he be a private citizer
or a public otfcipl, devote what
ever time is necessary to the
work of cleaning up streets, al
leys, back yards, yards abou'
farmhouses, and barns, base
ments and attics of all buildings
public or private, and removing
therefrom every possible cause
of fire and disease.
In witness whereof l hav,
hereunto subscribed my nam,
and caused to be affixed the grea
seal of the State of Kansas.
