To each and every individual

we live? To the many strangers
coming to our city, is it not for
our interests to give a good i'm

we all live and expect to make
our homes? Then lets each and
every one of us survey our back
yards, and all around, even if we
step across on a vacant lot that
needs a little attention, it will
not hurt us and it certainly will
improve the town in general and
then lets give a little thought to
the sanitary conditions, as when
the hot summer days come and
the flies are bad, we cannot afford
to have sickness and diseases in
