live in. There is a dity Ordi-
nance relative to the cutting of
weeds but your Chief of Police
does not feel that he should have
to remind you every time your
place needs cleaning up. Way
down deep we all have civic
pride but We too often neglect
the things that should be done.
Numbers of complaints have
come in within the last two
weeks about weeds on various
lots and parkways, and were
these all referred to the Chief of
Police it would require about
half of his time modifying
property owners that their weeds
needle cutting.
So these matters | am sure
will adjust themselves once we
all get to thinking how much
better it would look if our town
were free of mosquito breeding
weed patches and our lawns and
parkways kept mOwn, therefore
| am making this appeal to every
citizen of our city to cut your
weeds( clean up your premises,
take your garbage can off the
parkways after the trash man
passes.
Your civic clubs are doing
wonderful work in bringing
about cleaner city and they
need your help-the city needs
your help. 1t is only a short
time before the winter visitors
will be coming to Florida and we
want our city to look the best of
all the others. But lets not wait
for the visitors to come. Lets
clean up now and enjoy it our
selves.
Ask the chairman of your ward

of your ward right away and

little brother.
Crescent City is some punk At
least its people have that feeling.
And it won't hurt Palatka to en-
courage it. On the other hand it
will work to Palatka's advantage.
Let me tell you, that within the
past month people in Crescent City
have subscribed to $4,000 in the
stock of new bank. They have
also subscribed $4,000 in the stock
of a new hotel company. Now my
friends, be with US; give US your
moral support; let me 60 home and
tell the people of Crescent City
How the powerful Kiwanis,
Rubbed his loving nose against us,
Like bull pup in the darkness;
Told US how he would protect US;
'Gainst designs of men of harm US
Said true city Might was gen'rous;
That, in fact, it set the PAGES,
For the struggling, lesser places,
That contribute to the making
OF prosperous State or Nation.

The authorities of our city

their power to clean up, but it is

cooperation of our citizens. | am
sure that every citizen of Palat-
ka feels that they are living in
