The bugs have got to take it, and
so have implanted fences, untidy
back yards, ash piles, ct cetera, ad
infinitum.
Cause the annual Clean Up and
Paint Up Week in Augusta will be
observed for the seven days starting
May 4.
This is in accordance with the ma
; tional custom to have the big NUM-
cipal house cleaning event come the
| first week in May. Officials OF the
Chamber of Commerce, the SCHOOLS
the city and others interested nave
chosen the dates and now 1t IS a
case of the citizens going 10 II ana
making the Capital City the reai
spotless Town of New England.
There is a general feeling that this
can be done. Last year. AusuS!a
was one of six places in all this
section of the country that received
special mention for the manner IN
which the campaign was conducted;
Ward committees were appointed
and unsightly and unsanitary places
were cleaned up as they had never
been cleaned before. Over 100 tons
of rubbish were carted away.
Even more pretentious plans are
| under way for this year. The mer-
chants are to make window displays
of cleanup and paint-up materials;
there will be the usual ward COM
mittees to see that householders and
property owners generally get things
to looking spic and span; the city
will cart off the rubbish and there
will be lots of other things done to
make property look better and be
valued more.
| In 1928. the championship cup was
carried off by the city Of Lynn and
what was done during the campaign
there was really amazing.
To SLOW what householders and
others did it is only necessary to
give these figures of the amount OF

Big Summer on the Penobscot


All indications point to a big sum-

about PenobScot Bay with q large no.
tel business, full quota of cottagers
and the return of many families who
have in past years leased their sum-
mer places and gone elsewhere. AL
ready the bookings for July at the
Islesboro Inn, Dark Harbor, are in
excess of any previous year and the
biggest season in the history of the
hotel is expected. August is always
a big month when the house is not
able to take care of all who would
like to make reservations. Practical
ly all the big cottages at Dark Harbor
will be opened either by their owners
OF leased, while on the opposite side
of the bay at Northport a gay season
is predicted, many cottages having
been leased last fall and large num-
Der having been purchased. In this
colony Bostonians are most promin-
emit
The tourist season will be larger in
Maine this year than ever before, &C
cording to all indications, for with the
improved roads and the increase in
the number of motors, the travel into
Maine in summer grows every year.
Castine is looking forward to
busy summer and this picturesque
old town is fast becoming the mecca
for students of history, for no where
in Maine is there more hallowed
ground than this old town. once the
battle ground of four nations, the
French. Dutch, English and Ameri-
cans. The town is filled with mark
ers telling the seeker after knowledge
what he wishes to know and it is we'll
worth a days journey to visit the old
forts and other historical spots.
