Cleanup Week"
"A thing of beauty is a joy for
ever" There is nothing more beau
tiful to my eyes thai a healthful and
attractive city: it is the pride and
joy of its citizens. Such a city will
bring more people to it, because they
are attracted by its beauty.
In order to make Perth Amboy an
attractive city the officials have set
apart the week of April tw%enty-fifth
as a cleanup week.
When the family begins the spring
housekeeping everyone should do
his part. Of course mother does the
most. She starts at the attic and
cleans and disposes of the rubbish
that has collected during the winter:
the other rooms of the house go
through the same process in order
that those tiny germs that cause so
much sickness may be killed. Faith
err, after mother has finished sweep
ing, paints and repairs, and puts up
the summer screens to keep out the
injurious fly. Little Bobby has heard
at school hat it is Cleanup week"
so he makes up his mind to do his
part also. In this way people will

welfare of the city.
But remember that every week
should be cleanup week, and then
Perth Amboy will be a healthful,
beautiful and convenient city.
ANNA CLADEK, "a.
Clean Up! Clean Up! Perth Amboy
Every year this city has a Clean
up Week." in which the people of
the city are requested 10 clean up
their yards, sidewalks, cellars and
attics. This is done to make Perth
Amboy a beautiful and healthful city
for people to live in.
Take Los Angeles. California, for
instance, the most beautiful city in
the world, as some say. Dc they
have papers blowing about in the
streets? Are the peoples yards, at
tics and cellars dirty? Are the trees
which are the most beautiful part
of the city falling down for want
of trimming? No, they are not. The
peoples attics, cellars and yards are
almost spotless. Even the streets
look as if they were washed as a
the curb are arranged in order, and
trimmed In the same way, in order
to make the city look more beauti-
full.
Why can't Perth Amboy do this?
Perth Amboy is a rich city where
the people can do it. if they want to.
Help in every way possible to make
Perth Amboy a sister city to Los
Angeles.
