ample preparation in the way OF plans
and organization, the combined efforts
Of our citizens could make Arcadia
look like a different place in one days
time. We are all ambitious to beauti'
fl our homes and make things look
attractive around the house, but there
are vacant lots and other idle property
that 1t is unkept and should be looked
after. Most Of us live In Arcadia just
about 365 days In the year and all OF
us who are citizens call 1t home. Then
nelghbor, let's make it "A Home Beautf
full" and by so doing encourage Other
good citizens to come into our com
munity and live. Let some good mai
get busy-we're willing.
