vive the campaign enthusiasm annually What does this mean in concrete terms? Millions of rubbish heaps removed, waste paper and garbage cans installed, the fly and mosquito problems solved, fences painted and white washed the first time since they were built, streets and alleys cleaned, public buildings painted, interiors redeeorated and grounds beautified, bill boards removed school children educated in santa tion and fire prevention. Vast reduction in fire insurance rates, spontaneous de velopment of community spirit These are only few of the net results from clean up campaigns all over America. In not one instance where the women took the important part in these cam paigns did they fail to put over" sue cessfully the cleanup idea.
