Cleanup Days
Here In Newark
The Old Town Should Shine
Like a New Dollar After
Tomorrow
Have you done your bit yet?

Have you done your bit yet?
No this is not an appeal for a
financial contribution to aid some So
ciety but it is reminder to do your
bit toward helping yourself and every
one else in Newark.
This is a Cleanup Day in Newark
and so is tomorrow. And if everyone
in the town does his or her share in
making the days the successes they
should be the old town should shine
like new dollar when you make a
tour of inspection on Friday.
Town Council at it's meeting last
week decided on today and tomorrow
as the official Cleanup Days of New
ark, and the town officials and many
of the residents of the town have
already fallen in line with the move
ment and many rubbish piles that
have been eyesores have already been
removed.
These two days should be devoted
as far as possible by all residents in
renovating and putting their prop
critics in ship-shape. Many persons
have already gone ahead with their
Cleanup work before this time but
many had much rubbish to move which
proved a problem when it came time
to removing. Council has solved this
problem by placing horse and wagon
on the streets of the town for the pur-
pose of collecting all refuse that might
be cleaned from back yards and cellars.
All persons who have rubbish to be
removed can have the same done by
placing the containers with the rubbish
in them on the curbs in front of their
homes.
After today and tomorrow there
should not be a nook in the whole
town that has not felt the sting of
cleanliness. Everyone should remem-
ber that an empty tin can or a piece
of broken crockery allowed to lay
around will fill with rain water from
a shower and provide Matching place
for mosquitoes to make your life mis-
erable for the entire summer.
If scratching mosquito bites is
easier than cleaning up their pros
pective incubators and nurseries, have
it that way; but the general opinion
is that the Cleanup plan is the best,
and worthy of the most hearty CO..
operation from the townsfolk.
SO let everyone get busy and do
their bit.

FLOWER AND
GARDEN CONTEST
Two Hundred Children En-
rolled

When the Civic Committee of the
New Century Club, composed of
Mrs. George Townsend, chairman.
Miss Elsie Wright, Mrs. Manns and
Miss Frances Hurd, decided to dis
tribute flower and vegetable seed
among the school children. offering
prizes for the best gardens, it was
thought that perhaps twenty-five
children would respond.
Senator Ball had sent to the COM
mlttee a generous amount of seed.
but when the schools were visited
this supply was soon exhausted and
several stores were visited to find
enough seed to supply the demand. In
the primary and grammar schools.
two hundred and one children have
enrolled in the contest. It was made
plain to the children that only back
yards were to be planted with these
seed, and that the general condition
OF the rest of the yard would figure
in the decision of the judges. A
beautiful plot of flowers or vegetables
on one side and a pile of tin cans or
rubbish elsewhere in his yard would
practically eliminate that contestant.
With the cooperation of parents, this
endeavor on the part of the Civic
Committee should make Newark a
more beautiful town than ever.

boy who wishes to take agriculture
but who has not the required facili.
ties with which to carry an effective
project?
q. How much credit are we justified
in giving pupils taking Vocational
courses?
Z. How much professional improve
ment work throughout the school wear
are we justified in requiring of our
teachers.
8. Should the Home Economics de-
partment be responsible for a Nutri-
ton program in the grades?

grade?
The first, sixth and ninth questions
came in for great deal of discussion.
especially the last mentioned. From
the trend of opinion of those present
at the conference it did not seem like
ly that this would be carried into eff
feet in the next school year but there
seems strong probability of home
economics being compulsory in the
ninth grade in short time.
