CLEAN UP DRIVE
Countrywide
Campaign on Foot to Improve
Health Conditions in City
and County

Through the efforts OF the Middle
sex County Anti-Tuberculosis League,
the cleanup week campaign has be-
come a county wide affair. Every
town and city in the county has ar
ranged for, or Is having q cleanup
week at This time. The League in
order TO acquaint the citizens of the
county, with the good to be derived
from such a campaign has supplied
literature, which has been sent out
broadcast, and distributed through the
schools and by the boy scouts and
other organizations.
The main a for this campaign
is to create a desire and an interest in
better health conditions. Health as
a matter of fac is a more or less per-
sonal matter and unless everyone does
some little in his home. yard and COM
munity very little good can result
from such a campaign. Not only will
tn cleaning of the yards and homes
aid in overcoming the spread of tu-
be~rculosis, but will also put a stop
to the spread of epidemics similar to
the recent Flu" that caused such hor-
ror throughout the world.
Executive Secretary w. J. Willsey,
of the Anti-Tuberculosis League. said
today that an increase in tuberculosis
Is expected as the out come of the
Influenza epidemic and that If the
people will respond as they should
in the clean up week campaigns which
are now being carried out, it will aid
o great deal in keeping this dreaded
disease from getting a foot hold.
Plans are now underway for the
establishing of community branches OF
the Anti-Tuberculosis League in all
towns and cities in the country. and
these will aid In maintaining the In
terest and health work throughout the
year. and not only just during the
campaign.
The cleanup campaign opens In
this city on May 10, and the League
has already supplied the Board of
Health with literature to carry on the
campaign here.
