CLEANUP WEEK MARCH 24-2s

Governor Henry Allen has issued a
circular on "Spring Cleanup Week"
as a preventive Of fires and also as a
sanative and civic movement in the in
terests Of health and beautifying the
towns and cities Of Kansas. The cir
cular reads:
Last year, due largely to the war
and extremely abnormal conditions,
the fire loss in the state passed the
four million mark. Now that the war
is over is not the time to slacken our
efforts in conservation work. Rather
should be continue to- bend every en-
ergy toward the elimination Of all
waste in order that conditions may be
speedily as possible reach n normal
basis.
"The same conditions that breed
fire breed disease. Clean streets and
alleys, clean yards and clean homes
tend to prevent fire and therefore to
conserve the country's material re-
sources. They likewise tend to con-
serve the public health and therefore
the cOuntry's man power. Such homes
create civic and national pride and
contribute to the welfare of all con-
cerned.
Therefore, In order to bring about
q concerted effort all over the state
for fire prevention, the improvement
of isenitary conditions, the prevention
Of disease and the identifying of
streets and homes, /, Henry ]. Allen,
Governor, do hereby designate the
week of March "a to 20, Cleanup
Week in the. State Of Kansas, and
urge that every resident of Kansas,
whether he be q private citizen or a
public official, devote whatever time
is necessary to the work Of cleaning
up streets, alleys, back yards, yards
about farmhOuses and barns, base
ments and attics of all buildings, pub
lie or private, and removing there
from every possible cause of fire and
disease"
