school children-always a big power
for civic betterment-will be called
on through their teachers to give
their assistance.
In many of the cities, especially
where there has been much unem-
ployment, the American Legion posts
have got back OF the Cleanup cam
paigns and secured many positions
for their men during the days the
campaign has been on. There are
so many jobs, big and little, that can
be done during a campaign of this
kind that there is usually work for
everyone.
Painting and repairing of property
will be Just one of the big needs at
tended to. General cleaning up of
back yards. the planting of gardens
and similar activities will follow.
There is no limit to the possibilities
of a C'ean-Itp and Paint-Up cam
paign and it looks as if Augusta,
with its cooperative spirit, would go
as near the limit in work as possible.

Carleton Pond Is
Returning to Normal

Uncle John" Graffam, superintend-
ent of the Augusta Water Districts
East Winthrop pumping station, tells
the Kennebec Journal that the water
in Carleton pond, the source of the
citys water supply. has come up 3la
feet and is now little over a foot
below the overflow.
The extended drought Of 1921 and
the continued low water through the
fall and winter of 1922 has neces-
STATED the operation of the pump
ing station during the past 10 months
or SO, with the pumps in operation rs
high as 16 hours per day. dropping
during the last of last week to seven
hours, and having varied from time
to time between those limits.
This pumping is solely for the pur-
pose of sending Carleton pond water
into the city mains and reservoir. and
not at all for using Cobbosseecontee
water. When Carleton water falls
below the point where gravity viii!

it from the pond and start it city
ward. Gravity will now take care of
the work.

nual Cleanup and Paint-Up cam
paign. 1t will not be any ordinary

Of the term. On the contrary, the
first six days will be merely the be-
ginning of campaign which, it is
hoped, will last the whole summer.
There have been Clean-Up cam
paigns in Augusta in the past. but
this year will be the biggest yet, for
the city has decided to go after the
silver cup offered by the New Eng
land Cleanup committee for the
best showing in civic Improvement
made by particular locality.
Last year Boston itself captured
this prize. but size doesn't count in
determining the winner. Population.
resources and the previous condition
Of the place are all taken into con-
sideration when the award is being
made. For this reason. Augusta has
just as good a chance for winning
the prize as city twenty times as
large.
Preliminary steps for the conduct
Of the campaign have already been
taken. Mayor Sanford L. Fogg will
issue proclamation calling atten-
ton to the need of observing Clean
Up and Paint-Up days. The vehicles
OF the commissioner of public works
will be for the collection of rubbish
in all parts of the city, a fact that
will insure everyone's getting rid of

Who won by counsels wise, benign,
Avowed their love for William Penn
