ment 70 Beauty City,
Complete Plans.

The civic campaign for a city beau
tifdl was organized to cover a period
Of six weeks of active participation
in a cleanup drive.
Two weeks were to be devoted to
education-to stimulate interest and
enthusiasm, to suggest ways and
means of obtaining results, and to
give time for repairs and removal of
unsightly objects; two weeks were to
be given to actual cleaning-np the
rubbish and garbage, the burning of
leaves and trash; the last two weeks
to planting seed, transplanting bulbs
and shrubs and sodding grass. The
slogan adopted was: "0rder- Cleanli-
ness and Beauty"
The Woman's Club volunteered to
supervise the work of the campaign,
and large committee from the club
was appointed to work with the
Chamber of Commerce in connection
with the campaign.
AS q member of the Chamber of
Commerce, the Woman's Club pos

matters before that body, and the
chairman of the civic committee ex-
ercises the franchise in behalf of the
club. The officers Of the committee
are; Mlss Battle Bell, chairman;
Mrs. Louise Landrum, vice-chairman;
