the name of the clcaf-up essay by
Frank Dorsey, Jr., which was sclec-
ted as the best SA story written
during last week i'll connection with
the cleanup activities.
In the SB grade. Richard Board

DIRTY papers and old rags lying
around in peoples cellars, closets
and attics cause many fires. 1t would
therefore be better to clean all the
rubbish out Of the homes of the
people.
.'There is going to be a cleanup
week. There will DO collectors IN
different sections of the city all week.
If the people will unite IN an effort
to clean up their homes, much can
be donebe done to eliminate all I'M
necessary danger of fires, unhealth-
mess and disease.

1. To exterminate disease germs.
>. TO make u city healthy and
wealthy.
3. To beautify our city.
II is a good idea to have a special
week for clean up. Clean up gives
the people "A chance to get rid of the
refuse which they could not get rid
of otherwise. Cleanup Week is nee
essary because we IAN rid the city OF

Cleanup Week is good because we

gives us an opportunity to clean u

say that Perth Amboy is a dirty city.
