EMPLOYMENT FOR IDLE MEN

We don't want the management of the Commercial Association to lose sight of a splendid opportunity to do something material for Juneau and the entire territory. For that req son we again call attention to the de- sirability of arranging with the vari, ous commercial organizations in this section of Alaska to take care of a number of idle men.
 The Alaska Anthracite railroad ex- poets to bring 1900 men from Seat. tie during the early part of July to start active work on the completion of their railroad that is to run from Controller bay into the vast coal fields of Boring river. These men will be largely raw recruits and un- familiar with Alaska labor and gen. eral conditions.
 If the associations would list the available workmen in their respec. tive localities and give some assur. ance to Manager Clark Davis that they would be forthcoming when needed it would seem reasonable to suppose that he would gladly favor
The Cordova daily times., 1921-06-10

local men, and receive in return a crew of more efficient workmen, Their employment would insure bet ter returns to the company in more efficient work and would also tend to keep the money in the territory.
 If the association were to Do It Now' there would be ample time to bring about a most desired and con- mendable result. It is high time that this idea of bringing labor to Alas ka, when there is plenty available here, should be discouraged. The old cry of Alaska for Alaskans" seems to concern most people only when it applies to public office.
 If the Commercial Association wishes to become more than the mere adjunct of certain special interests the community, it will awaken to and to do something worth while for the necessity of securing employment for people who are now idle and real ly desire employment Do It Now" Juneau Capital.

CLEANUP AND PAlNT-UP

The streets and alleys need clean ing. Perhaps we have become so ac- customed to seeing them filtered with refuse and accumulations of dirt that we do not realize how dirty they are If they were once thoroughly cleaned we would see the difference. Strang- CTS from other cities, where clean streets and alleys are normal, notice the difference and comment upon it when they get home. That is not good advertising for any town. If cleanliness of the person is next to godliress, surely cleanliness of city is next to prosperity. It is easy for a visitor to believe that if the city is clean is it also prosperous. He will go home and say so, and that is the best kind of advertising.
 No town ever suffered in the eyes of strangers or got a bad reputation from having clean streets, with yards and houses bearing the evidence of being well kept and newly painted Such city is like the refreshing ocean breeze to the traveller who has gone from one dirty city to another un- till he has almost last his anticipation of finding cleanliness and beauty in a municipality The impression that clean streets make upon such a visitor will mcke him talk about it where ever he travels.
 kept clean. The visitor does not get mach opportunity to see the alleys, but that is no reason why they should be permitted to be dirty ani unsani- tary. The public health is an even higher consideration than a reputa- ton for cleanliness and beauty. No matter what the city government may do toward keeping the city clean, experience shows that it dose not suc- ceed. It cannot succeed alone. Grad ually refuse accumulates almost everywhere. There is only one way to make a complete cleanup and that is for the citizens tc unite and io the job themselves, with official aid of course. Then there is only one way to keep the city clean-and that is through the citizens themselves.
 Dr. w. w. Council, mayor of Cor dova, has today issued proclamation designating next week as good time to begin tC cleanup and paint up the city and it is sincerely hoped after all enter into the move ment the city will be actually clean, far different from it's former condition no matter how clean the people in. agine it to be before the campaign, for clean streets and alleys actually car be secured when all the people get on the job together and at the same time. Every public improve ment organization, every club, every neigh borhoOd association, every mu- nicipal department, should be united in one great and practical effort to create such a state of cleanliness and ten they should determine to pre- serve that condition, keeping it up The city that keeps everlastingly clean keeps everlastingly growing. What the city needs is some of the strong, growing pains produced by shovels, rakes, brooms, water, dump carts and scrub and paint brushes.
