IL rTrYT Knowing poem. entitled
"Cleah NpE was handed in by a high
school pySN' Virginia Hoy today;
TO MAKE ouN city beautiful, with the
backyard I'll begin.
And clean thd cellar also. with any
rubbish laid within.
I would have my front lawn green
and a few nice shady trees
And a flower bedNof pretty flowers to
wave gently In the breeze.
And in the branches UP above the
birds would gaily sing,
Their notes so full Of melody, in ecs-
tacy would ring.
Once I'm clean, keep me clean, let
not time efface,
But keep our city beautiful and
we'll ear the name of pace"
