i CLEANUP DAY
Monday, April 80 was cleanup
day in Hanford and it was truly
all that the name implies. The men
and boys turned out with all of
the community spirit possible and
when they had finished the town
site looked as tho it had had a
coat of paint. The boys and girls
! from the grade school surely did
their part, picking up brush, some
thing no boy or girl likes to do.
At five o'clock the ladies had a
picnic dinner prepared in the hall,
| where between seventy-five and
a hundred thoroly enjoyed them
selves for time. The Community
club served ice cream to every boy
and girl that helped so generously
and hope that no one was over
looked.
