the meeting, the committee being
Mrs. j. N. Mclaughlin, C. P. McDan-
iel, J. T. Mayes, A. H. Counts, r. H.
Greneker and H. B. Wells
1t will be the purpose of the gen
eral committee to interest every cit
i'm of Newberry to clean up and
paint up during the week mentioned
with special emphasis being placed
on keep it up. The campaign is be-
ing put on to have the entire city
cleaned up, which of course, includes
the residential section, the business
section and every other section. There
are many hooks and corners in the
city which are very noticeable which
should be cleaned up during this cam
paign. 1t might also be said that the
campaign will embrace the words
wash up, as during the week every
residence and business house should
wash all window.
Collection of. Garbage
During the campaign the health Of
fcer will use1everys means to have all
trash and garbage removed as fast as
it can be piled up by those who enter
into the campaign. Certain days will
be designated for. all wards in the.
city and on these days every trash
wagon in the force will work in the
particular ward for that day. A scke-
dule will be announced later. Every
person in Newberry should watch for
the announcement in order to be rea-
dy for the wagons when they come
around. It must be understood that
all trash and garbage is to be placed
in convenient place for the wagons
to pick up. 1t should also be under
stood that no trash and garbage is to
be placed in the streets as the law
provides for a fine against those who
place trash in the streets. The week
will also include the taking down Of
all out of date advertising signs, such
as those advertising the circus which
was in Newberry last October. There
are number of the circus signs still
in the windows of some of the busi-
ness houses of the city, which of
course detracts from the beauty of
any city.
Scouts to Work
During the campaign both the Boy
Scouts and the Girl Scouts will play
an important part Definite plans will
be outlined in few days and each of
these organizations given certain
work to do during the week. The Boy
Scouts have already done a great
work for Newberry in the way of re-
moving lot of out of date advertis-
ing signs, but there are still lot of
them that should be taken down.
Work Through Schools
1t is expected that great results
during the campaign will be accom-
plished through the schools of the
city, as the committee expects to
make arrangements with Prof. 0. B.
Cannon to have the teachers to lee
ture to their classes on the in1por-
tance of every boy and girl in New
berry taking part in cleaning up New
berry during the week.
If every person in Newberry will
fall in line and clean up, paint up
and keep it up during the campaign,
they can all sing that little song,
"Shine, Shine, Just Where You Are, !"
in perfect harmony and we will have
a cleaner, healthier and happier city
in which to live.
