palities. especially small towns begin
"Clean Up and Paint Up" campaigns
extra early this year
The very nature of the weather
has made it difficult for household
ers to rid their premises of the win
tcr's accumulation of old papers,
junk and other infiammabe ma
terial.
There is good market for old
papers now and the money from their
sale will help buy paint and seeds.
Spring might burst upon us all at
once and this wonld mean not only
that "clean ups" will be due. but al
so gardens. painting. etc, will have
to be attended to. If the "clean up"
part is out of the way, the house
holder will BE that much to the good
and can devote himself to his outside
work with profit to himself and his
community.
Something must be done at once
to curtail Americas fearful fire
waste and the place to start is with
ones self. Therefore, if each mu-
nicipality enlists Everybody in the
movement, a great stride toward
safety to life and property has been
taken.
Every day should be a "Clean
Up" day in America, and right now
is the time to put the theory into
practice

CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP WEEK
AS AID TO FIRE PREVENTION

Attention is called to the fact that
the Clean Up and Paint Up" Cam
paigns have been very useful features
IN reducing the causes and the num-
Der of fires. Cleaning up is a great
thing for a city or town or for a
home. 1t is astonishing how the
odds and ends accumulate into
masses of rubbish, and when a lot
or places in a town show such ac-
cumulatiOns the sum total becomes
something tremendous. Also. it be-
comes something pregnant with
possibilities of evil. In serious
fire anywhere a lot of rubbish lying
around in the vicinity means lot
of hot work for the firemen and
very likely means the destruction
of number of homes that otherwise
might have escaped. 1t pays every
owner or occupant of a home-no
matter how sore he may he on his
landlord--to clean up about his place
every spring and fall. There is al
ways activity for the firemen in these
seasons. and there is bound to be
more than is necessary if there is
a mass of rubbish around for the
Riddles to set on fire. or to catch in
the event of a big blaze starting in
