 U andKeepHW To Make Our Own City "A Better Place to Live In' For nearly two years Americas sons have fought foreign fields "to make the world better place to live in while those at home also sacrificed and served and saved and gave of their comforts and necessities for their soldiers and for humanitys sake.
 This year, of all years, we should unite in making city BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN."
 For in these stressful war years we have neces- sary neglected for the world cause conditions in midst, in city and its homes and work places and streets and alleys and vacant grounds
 Not only have dirt and rubbish accumulated until they grave menaces that should compel immediate cooperation with the Health and Fire De- partmen authorities in their effort to clean up, and keep cleaned up-but also perforce, have neglected for several years, the proper of public and pr vate buildings and premises repairing and repainting (affected by the ban upon building activities happily removed) have been generally neglected that the resulting and continuing damage and depre citation require immediate stoppage
 Most important of all however, is the need for us to turn hearts homeward, to home-making-for the home is the foundation of the Republic the cry of the Great Worlds Future manhood and woman hood, the haven and inspiration of todays workers. Only the attractive home the home that radiates clean Illness and thrift and civic pride measures up to this ideal of family and public service-though even the humblest homes may and do attain this wholly practi- cable ideal of the Home Beautiful.
 Seven thousand American communities, moved by these conditions and considerations, participating in the National Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign, the spirit and plan and of which justify our own prompt and unanimous cooperation
 Impressed by the supreme necessity of such cam paign in Maranna the Mayor and other city author- ties working in conjunction with the Civic Improve ment League, have designated
