Object of Campaign to
Make Augusta Better

The object of the campaign is to
clean up and paint up Augusta in
doors and out. To do away with
filth, rubbish and unsightly. neg
lected properties. In short, to dress
up" the city and to keep it so in an
ticipation of the thriving business
which local merchants believe is in
store for this year. This is the sea-
son of the year when Augusta enter
tains many visitors and buyers from
out of town. The Importance OF
presenting our city to these visitors
in it's best aspect. of having them
know that we are live ones" ana OF
spreading the good word when they
have gone their way is manifest.
Civic cleanliness and paintliness
means a lowered fire risk, increased
sanitation. and a better place in
which to live and work." said Secre-
tary Folsom of the Augusta Cham
Der of Commerce in discussing the
purposes of the campaign.
More than 1000 American cities
have been conducting successful
Clean Up and Paint Up Campaigns

En- masse, in toto, unanimously
Augusta is, going to it and the Capt.
tai City will be a Spotless Town in
deed by the end of the present week.
Cellars and attics are being cleaned
out. yards and lawns raked, bushes
trimmed, grass seed soWn, and so on
and so on ad intinitum. Every body
in every section Of the city seems to
have got the spirit and the Clean-Up
and Paint-Up Campaign of 1924 will
be an epoch maker.
Judging from what one may gath
err from neighborhood conversation,
it is the intention of every housewife
not to be caught mapping when the

man of the house as an individual
and as a separate genus has been
racing upstairs and downstairs after
this or that article which is to be de-
posted in q barrel or box and carried
off through the good graccs of the

were so inclined they could hold a
rummage sale of the articles to be
collected this week that would be a
world heater.

RUBBISH COL LECTION DAYS

things to sell to pay for oiling the
streets" was the way one house
holder expressed it to a Journal re-
porter.
With the weather as cool as it has
been. householders have found It
possible to burn up no end of rub
bish. papers and other nnsightly
material in their furnaces when they
might not have, done so had the
weather been warm. They have ac-
co-dinsly relieved to a certain eX-
tent the congestion in city collec-
tions, eked out in their coal bills and
kept warm during the unreasonable
cold mornings and evenings.
Grocers and drug stores have had a
big demand for disinfectants. soaps
and soap powders. painters have
noticed a squirt in their business and
everyone seems to be picking out
wall paper. Screens are being re-
newed everywhere and more people
than usual are having their piazzas
screened.
So thoroughly has the campaign
for a cleaner city got under way
that it is confidently believed that
when the rubbish is collected on
Thursday and Friday, last years
record of 100 tons or 100000 pounds
will be smashed to refuse.
