tary surroundings, dirty alleys,
ramshockled shanties and unkempt
premises. The morale of an in
dustrial community is always re-
f1ected in the appearance of city.
with this thought in mind the
Charleston Board of Trade, through
it's committee on health and sani-
tation, is organizing to cooperate
whole heartedly with your clean up
organization and with the other
civic leaders and citizens in push
ing forward the Clean Up and
Paint Up Campaign. We are mus
tering our forces SO as to render
your committee every possible as
sistance in giving the face of old
Charleston such scrubbing as
she has never known before. After
her municipal face is cleaned and
given several coats of paint we
venture to say that the old aristo-
crat of interesting cities will feel
like going out and licking the
world.
''In the future when a stranger
comes to Charleston he will smile
and say, Here's a clean town; I
want to know this town better
For he knows that when a city is
clean-when it has clean streets,
clean sidewalks, clean buildings
it is an up to date and going place !;
he knows that here is a good place
to make a home.
"In our opinion it would be MAX
ing serious mistake to inaugu-
rate this campaign with the idea it
will be through within a few days
or q week. We would like to see
the plans laid to make the work
permanent, for only continued,
properly sustained campaign for
community cleanliness brings per-
menent, visible results. The bust
ness man has his offices cleaned
every day. The windows and
woodwork are washed at regular
intervals, and in most office build
ings every inch of the interior sur

Clean Up And Paint
Up Urges Fire
Chiefs

Clean Up and Paint Up Cam
| paigns will do more to reduce the
national fire loss than any other
means that has yet been devised
This was the declaration made al
the Sind annual convention of the
International Association of Fire
Chiefs, by it's president, Chief Will
liam H. Bywater of Salt Lake City
Each of the chiefs composing the
association, which has a member
ship of $500 was urged to extend
the fullest possible cooperation to
all clean up and paint up cam
paigns and this support was pledg-
ed by the convention in the reso-
lutions adopted.
Our national fire loss now
reaches the staggering total OF
about $5OO,O0O,OOO every year"
Chief Bywater declared. "The
greatest causes of this loss were
carelessness and rubbish, both
causes that can be easily elimi-
mated.
''It is time we came to a realiza-
tion that a daily clean up of our
property is as important as our
daily food A week or two of in
tensive clean up is all right, but its
chief purpose should be to inspire
those reached by its message to
continual cleanliness. The impor-
tance of these real campaigns tC
clean up and paint up and keep il
up cannot be overemphasized.
"It follows that painting will
follow cleaning, since rubbish often
conceals the need of paint, and the
man who has sufficient pride to
keep his property clean also wants
it to be bright under a recognizable
coat of paint"
Chief Bywater said school stu
dents are the foundation of the
success of any Clean Up and Paint
Up Campaign. In Salt Lake City
the students of the fifth and sixth
grades made survey and turned
in 10000 report cards showing con-
dition of property, he said. Similar
surveys in other cities would result
in widespread cleaning up, he alst
stated.

No careful housewife would ex-
pect her general cleaning in May
to siffice for six months. She
knows that continuous effort is the
price she must pay for continual
cleanliness.
'The clean up organization
should be permanent not only be-
cause it is easier to keep clean af-
ter you have once thoroughly
cleaned up and publicly committed
your city and it's homes to contin-
ued cleanliness and beauty, but
because it pays to keep the entire
community as clean as it's cleanest
| home.
There is work for all in such a
campaign if the whole community
| is organized together on a broad
program that embraces everything
necessary to make Charleston
work and to play.
! "The Charleston Board of Trade
is cooperating with the clean up
army in practical manner by en-
listing the interest of our entire
| membership through the following
card, which has been mailed to all
members:
"YOu Can Help! Here's How:
81 Don't let your porter sweep
trash from your establishment in
to the street.
"2. Don't let trash, empty crates,
dirt and dust accumulate in back
alleys, closets and unfreQuented
places about your establishment.
SO. Don't obstruct sidewalks with
merchandise, displays and debris;
such practices do not advertise
your business favorably.
"a. Don't put unsightly crude
signs of cloth or paper on the front
of your buildings; they constitute
a fire menace, look cheap and get
dirty in a few hours.
"5. Keep a can of paint always
on hand to use in touching up un-
slightly spots about the place.
sc. Burn all destructible refuse
"7. Instruct delivery men and
boys to be careful in disposing of
wrappers, etc., and post notices to
all employees asking help in keep
ing the place clean.
"S. Do all you can to keep the
sidewalks and street in front OF
your place attractive and clean.
SO. See to it that all garbage and
refuse for city carts is put out
early in the morning in closed con-
tainers.
40. Don't use the handbill meth
cd of advertising.
"11. Don't throw advertising

makes enemies for you instead OF
customers. Owners don't like to
find their cars full of paper, and
usually it goes from the car to lit
ter the street.
'12. In conclusion, my last word
is:
"Goodby dirt, filth, smoke, rub
bish piles, weeds, pests, dirty al
leys, ash piles, stray paper, cob
webs, junk heaps, broken screens.

cleaner buildings, finer streets,
