We must remember the yard isn't
all. There is the house and fence
to paint and our trees to plant.
This will beautify and make our
homes better ones to live in, and
our property sell better. Where
there have been old shacks or
buildings, which might easily catch
on fire, rebuild new ones. This
may prevent useless fires.
If we do this it makes other peo-
pie interested in our town. They
seeing how prosperous it is, will
come here to make their home and
start their business, and our town
will grow into a much better one.
Let us all work together for our

Clean Up And Paint Up
Week-Its Purposes
And Benefits
Third Prize-Hfgh School
By ALTAH McCOLLUM

Clean Up, Paint Up Week is a
week, most usually in the spring
set aside by the community for the
purpose of cleaning up the streets
and buildings of a town or COM
munity. 1t is practically the same
as spring housecleaning, in the
home except that it is in the en-
tire city.
In certain part of Winslow on
the highway by which most of the
motorists enter or leave the town,
there are ten houses which need
painting and fifteen yards which
need to be cleaned. The homes of
this part of town are attractive
but the yards are so dirty that it
makes the homes look ugly and
drab. Across the street from this
block is a regular junk heap of old
wagon wheels and beds, automobile
motors, tenders and bodies. All of
this could be cleaned up and hauled
away in a few short hours of work.
The purposes of Clean Up Week
are to make the community more
sanitary, more attractive and a
more pleasant place in which to
live. In a clean, wholesome, sani-
tary community, needless to say,
the people are healthier. In an at
tractive community they are hap
pier than in a filthy, dirty place.
One of the benefits of Clean Up,
Paint Up Week is that the COM
munity is made a more attractive
place. Tourists or motorists pass
ing through town are impressed
by the cleanliness and wholesome
look of the place. Along the road
they will tell other people of the
town and these people will want to
visit there. Sometimes they are so
we'll pleased with the place that
they settle there and organize a
business of their own or go to work
in the business of some other per-
son. The wealth and population Of
a town are increased by keeping
the town in a clean, attractive con-
dition. If the people of COM
munity do not go to the trouble of
cleaning it up they cannot expect
anyone to be attracted by it.
Winslow, as a whole, is not a
bad looking town, but no matter
what it is anything can be inn
proved a great deal. So it is with
Winslow.
The people of this town could
paint their houses, their barns and
their fences. Their yards could be
cleaned up, flowers planted and
lawns started. BY the next spring
the yards would be one of the at
fractions of the town. Another es-
sential toward beautifying a town
is clean streets. The town should
have street cleaners to keep the
streets from being Uttered with
papers, rags and all such filth, as
is usually found in a dirty street.
Very few people stop to realize
the necessity of a clean town. If
they should, it would be a great
thing. So, people of Winslow, stop
and think this matter over; get the
paint, a paint brush, rake, seeds
and brooms; then get to work dur
ing Clean Up, Paint Up Week in
Winslow and watch the results.

When spring comes and doors

safeguard to health, so let us start

us make our town a better one.

The object of clean up week is
to make our town a healthy, beau

and the results make US proud of

When the people up and down
our street see how nice, neat and
beautiful our home looks with our
house newly painted, our yard clean
or with green grass and pretty
flowers, they get the fever, too.
They, not to be out done by us,
clean up their place, maybe paint
their house and plant trees, shrubs
and flowers with perhaps a nice
kitchen garden in the back yard.
Nothing outside flowers, green
lawns and trees makes our homes
and town more beautiful and at
tractive than paint. 1t brightens
and cleans our dusty houses and
garages, and to visitors shows neat
ness as we'll as real thrift. To
care for property, to keep things
repaired and painted, shows we
have pride in our home and town.

In order to make our town at
tractive to visitors who happen to
visit it, we must clean up our own
yards, paint our houses, plant
lawns, shrubs, trees and flowers.
No one is so poor that he can not
buy few flower seeds. We chill
dren, too, love to have our own
little gardens and watch things
grow A few morning glory seeds
will change ugly out buildings or
back yard fences into real beauty.
If we can not have a lawn, we
can keep the door yard clean and
free from trash and papers. We can
pull up or hoe out the ugly weeds
and have few flower beds and
help our parents lot to make our
town beautiful. Besides the attrac-
tiveness, the out door work is

have. therefore, this to suggest to
the citizens of Winslow, that we
join hands in Cleanup, Paint-Up
Week, as a means to beautify our
town.
First, let all alleys and foul
places be cleaned up and be put
into a condition which will make
the atmosphere in our town per-
fectly healthy.
Second, let all front fences that
are broken and are in disorder
ly condition be rebuilt and painted
or torn completely down.
Third, let all houses in town that
are in need of paint be painted.
Let the yards be cleaned and grass
be planted These are three main
things that should be done to beau
tify Winslow and improve the
health and wealth of our town.
On walking down several of the
streets one can notice these three
faults at first sight. Is it right to
the fellow who has his home in an
orderly condition for the other to
let his house and it's surroundings
be unkept, and thus ruin the at
tractiveness for the one who keeps
his place in an orderly condition.
One house unpainted and in dis
orderly condition can take away
the beauty of many others that are
well kept.
When these improvements that I
have indicated are carried out gen
orally throughout the town, and we
all join hands in Cleanup Paint
Up Week, ours will be the health
lest and one of the most beautiful
towns in the world.

landscaping within it. A city that
has the reputation of an attractive
clean, and beautiful town will not
be avoided.
We all want to live in the city
where the homes and yards are
well-kept, the streets clean, and
where the alleys are not dumping
grounds for the tin cans, old news
papers and magazines, and ashes
of the neighborhood. We see moth
ing attractive in a town where we
find newspapers flying over the
streets in the path of every gentle
breeze that comes up, or where we
see faded homes standing on a dir
ty lot surrounded with crippled
fence.
If we make our city the best ex-
ample of cleanliness and orderli-
ness, the civic pride of the people
will do the rest. After the people
have once made the town beautiful
and attractive, their pride will pre-
vent them from ever again letting
the town fall into disorderliness.
Just as an individual would not
dare to mar a beautiful edifice, so
the citizens of Winslow will endea-
vor to keep the city beautiful after
they have once made it so. When
we once have a city beautiful, it
will not be hard to urge the peo-
pie towards a better community
spirit, for this spirit will develop
itself.
A clean and attractive city is in
strumental to both health and
wealth. We all realize that clean
Illness is the main factor in main
tanning health. Besides the elimi-
nation of the wastes and rubbish
that breed carriers of disease, the
very nature of clean and attractive
surroundings tends to keep the peo-
pie in healthy condition, mentally
physically, and morally. We feel
happy and prosperous in pleasant
surroundings, and to be pleasant
the surroundings must be beauti
full and clean.
By cleaning up a town, fire loss
is prevented because rubbish and
fire traps are removed. Less fire
loss means less loss of wealth.
Paint, besides giving structures a
better appearance, thereby in
creasing the value, prevents decay.
There are more demands for homes
in an attractive town, and conse-
quently the value of the homes in
creases. Well-kept property is ap
pealing to everyone. A clean town
has chance to grow, and the mer-
chants and townspeople profit by
the growth.
Let us give Winslow the reputa-
tion of a clean town. We must all
cooperate to do this. The II don't
care" spirit and the LET George

ing places are too often neglected
One of the worst places for this
is yard where livestock is kept
and should be thoroughly cleaned
once week.
Every child should be taught the
grave offense of destroying proper
| ty. Boys who willfully break win
dows, pull off pickets and break
down trees and shrubs are a nuis-
ance to the community. While
those who enjoy helping to beauti-
fly their own yards, the school
grounds and respect the rules of
public parks usually become useful
citizens.
The danger and destruction of
fire is another thing which should
be impressed upon children. Every
year many cities are greatly dam
aged by fire, causing heavy losses
and leaving many people homeless.
A dropped lighted match, or cigar
cite, or burning lamps left in
homes where children are alone,
has caused some of our greatest
fires and has been traced to the
carelessness of one person. A
necessary article for the preven-
tion of fire and which every fam
lily should have, is a good ash can.
Throwing out live ashes is one of
the most frequent causes of fire.
To beautify our city we must
keep our homes in good condition.
This teaches children thrift, in
creases the value of our property
and inspires our neighbors to i'm
prove their homes The man who
repairs his house and fences, plants
trees, grass and flowers, makes a
more desirable citizen than one who
takes no pride or interest in his
home
Considering the many benefits we
receive from Clean Up and Paint
Up Week we should all endeavor to
do our utmost to assist in this
campaign.

munity, which has as much to do
with the everyday life of it's peo-
pie, have it's own ideals? One of
these ideals should be to keep our
town clean, healthful and beauti-
full. This is the purpose of Clean
Up, Paint Up Week, to keep this
ideal in the minds of the people.
II a community is we'll planned
and beautiful, by instinct we are
led to care for it better, to respect
public and private property, and
try to make it even more attrac-
tive. The people of Winslow GER
talnly should take more interest in
the local community. How can we
instill this interest? By cleaning
up the town and showing these dis
interested people that it really isn't
so bad after all when it is clean
and healthful.
This is Clean Up, Paint Up Week.
Let's get busy and show these peo-
pie what we can do for Winslow
Make Winslow look like a real lit
tie paradise. People may laugh at
this idea but undoubtedly it can be
done if we try hard enough.
After the days work most peo-
pie spend their time talking about
their neighbors. Once or twice a
week they go to a second-class
movie" or "sociable" which
does them no good whatever. Why
don't they spend part of this time
in planning ways to better the
community? One reason is, be-
cause the small town progresses so
far and then stops, so far as good
influence or contribution of any
kind to the nation is concerned.
However, all of them are not like
this. Is Winslow? Some are de-
lightful places not only for spend
ing summer vacation but to live
in the year around. Could all of
them be made so? Can Winslow
be made like this? Why not? Who
would think of spending a summer
vacation in Winslow if the streets
were dirty and most of the houses
shabby looking and surrounded by
torn-down, shabby, unpainted fen
ces.
One man says, "The ideal COM
munity, be it large or small, urban
or rural, cares for every phase of
it's peoples health by law, by edu-
cation, and by the correct attitude
of its individual members. The
ideal community is a City Beauti-
full. 1t is planned with reference
to health, convenience, and beauty.
1t has no slums, no unsightly spots,
no menaces to morals. 1t keeps its
citizens out of mischief by afford
ing plenty of opportunity for
healthful work and joyful recrea-
ton" Is Winslow this kind of a
community? If it is not, it can be
made so to certain degree by OBJ
serving Clean Up, Paint Up Week.
Think is over and ask yourself
this question:
what kind of town would Wins
low be, if every person were just
like me?"

Cleanliness is the most important
thing in city or country. Every
city should have rules about clean
liness. So now every boy or girl,
or parent, your duty is to keep

holes, dead animals, and your town
will be the best town in the coun-
try.
Now boys and girls begin to save
your pennies. Remember, ga penny
saved is a penny earned" Soon
you will have enough money to do
or fix things like you want them.
Boy Scouts think of your Scout
laws and do your Good turn daily"
Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, and
Girl Scouts, "Be Prepared" Let's
stop all accidents, lets prevent
speeding by notifying officers, pre-
vent fire accidents by getting rub
bish out of the streets and alleys.
By these means we can increase
the population of our small town.
Beauty is what a city needs. Let's
start now and plant trees, flowers
| and lawns, paint and fix our fences,
houses, sheds and yards. If we
make our city beautiful, the people
will be proud to say, Il live in
Winslow." Remember it's our duty
to keep our city clean, healthy,
