''Clean-Up Week"-A cleaner and
more beautiful city! This is so
broad q slogan that 1t can cover
n clean-a multitude of sins.

fathers only to clean up our cellars,
our back yards, and any other rub
bish-collecting places? Are we re-
quested to clean up our civic sys-
TENS as well? In a factory town
such as this one, the n seems i'm

pride showed and does rather ineffi-

How can a row of dwellings look
freshly painted when smoke screens
are mot required in the neighbour
ing factories? How can the APP
pIbach to this city be made attrac-

best of our ability in the material
way. We will put forth special
effHfs to do it this week and then
maintain that cleanliness and order
which we have brought about. To
show, however, that we have whole
heartedly caught the spirit Of the
slogan we cannot but demand ordi-
nances which will help UP through
out the year.
