Improving the Community
In Which We Live

that need repairing, our COM
munity would pe greatly bet
tered, and we could be really
proud of it.
Just think Of all the injur-
les that are caused by broken
floor boards in our homes,
rickety steps. and defective
lighting facilities. Why have
a cleanup campaign for only
one week? We should have a
year-round campaign to inn
prove tn, streets, gardens,
lawns, business buildings, and
homes of our town. If all of
us would put forth an effort to
cleanup and fX-up, in gener-
al, how iii feTent the appear
ance of Oh, town would he.
In this suggestive year
round campaign, committees
would be needed to supervise
the different phases of the
cleanup campaign.
A school committee would
be very useful in this cam
paign. The school superin-
tendent, faculty advisors, and
the students of the school
would be of assistance. When
they got organized, the stu
dents could conduct a house
toulouse campaign (canvas)
to secure pledges for work to
be done.
A publicity committee, OF
necessity, would publicize the
campaign by making an
nouncements over the radio,
writing articles in the Local
newspapers, and distributing
pamphlets pertaining to the
cleanup campaign. Advertis-
ing, naturally, would go hand
in-hand with the publicity
committee. The advertising
group would have posters
made for the campaign, ano
Smyrna times., 1947-06-26

they would arrange for suit
able window displays.
Church civic groups are
needed to build up the enthus-
iasm of all the citizens by CIV
ing speeches and sponsoring
suppers for this campaign.
The photograph committee
should make arrangements to
take pictures of different
phases of the campaign.
Photographs would help to
publicize the campaign. Pic
lures should be taken of plac-
es that need attention before
the campaign and after the
desired improvement has been
made. Then the photographs
should be put in the newspap-
ers. This would show the ap-
pearance of the town before
and after" the cleanup CAM
paign.
A cleanup campaign could
be a great success if every in
dividual did his share in help
ing to improve the commun-
ity.
Our town needs more direct
leadership for our young peo-
pie in the clubs and organiza-
tions. The civic leaders should

eSJ ofAeNe'ii6 iiiih ~
Gated on the highway of
Smyrna, our town could be-
come more competitive and
active. !.
Smyrna could very well use
a supervised playground for
the children, to teach them
discipline and fair play.
More civic and church af-
fairs are urgently needed to
arouse the children's interest
and loyalty in the community.
Such affairs would be enjoyed
also by the older people of our
town.
Naturally, all of us have no
ticed dilapidated buildings in
Smyrna. What a pity that
the appearance of such nice
toxin is ruined by a few un-
slightly buildings. IF the own
ers can not afford 20 repair
these buildings at the present
time, they could at least tear
them down.
If our citizens are proud of
Smyrna, why don't they show
it by patronizinr the stores OF
Smyrna! Surely this could
aid in making our town more
prosperous. Our stores can
we'll supply our citizens with
the more necessary things we
need. Some of our citizens
buy all of their necessities
outside the town of Smyrna.
Are we citizens proud of our
home town? If we are, let's
prove it by patronizing our
stores to the best of our abil-
ity.
Oh, what a menace rats
are to our community! Don't
you agree with me? A rat
campaign could be formed by
our citizens to remove these
rodents. A campaign CT this
kind is needed very much In
our town. Feed stores, food
stores, grocery markets, all
other places of business, and
our own homes should be rat
proofed to prevent the spread
ing and reproduction of rats.
Holes in the walls Of all our
buildings and holes next to
the water pipes should be ie-
paired to keep rats out,
Cracks in thte foundation of q
building should be filled.
Rats are very harmful to
us. They desire the same
shelters and some of the kinds
of food we use. This, OF
course, is very detrimental. A
rat campaign would help to re-
move the rats. The best
means of destroying rats, dis
ease carriers, are ratprooflng
and disposing of all garbage.
Many a visitor to Smyrna
has asked me why the citizens
of Smyrna have such a colo
attitude toward the visitors
lit is not too much trouble fol
our people to welcome our Wis
Iitors cordially.

MY SUGGESTIONS FOR
IMPROVING THE COMMUNITY
IN WHICH / LIVE
CATHERINE HOUTMAN

someone IN the community
ask, ''Why can't our town be
improved by our citizens?
Doesn't our town look life
less?" There is a lot of truth
in what our citizens say. But
we must, of course, realize
that to improve our commun-
ity, the whole-hearted support
of our citizens is needed.
In my estimation, better
sanitation is the major i'm
provement needed in the town
of Smyrna. Smyrna could
have better garbage disposal.
A good system of disposing of
the garbage is in effect at the
present time, but a modern
disposal truck would prevent
garbage falling out of the
truck onto the street and
would eliminate insanitary
phases of garbage collection.
But more important to SANTA
ton is a sewage disposal
plant. 1t would Gust a great
deal to begin with, but in the
long run mucE money and
time could be saved. This
would help to improve the
sanitary conditions, also.
Of course, all of us would
enjoy seeing improvement in
the streets of Smyrna. One
has only to walk down almost
any street in Smyrna to un-
derstand what mean by this
statement. The sidewalks are
in bad shape. Bricks are miss
ing and uneven places make
Malkinga hazard to all of us.
With the aid and cooperation
of all our citizens, these de-
fects could be eliminated.
When we talk about our
streets of Smyrna we should
recall the people of Scotland.
At all times they keep the
streets as a housekeeper
should keep her kitchen. Cit
izens in Scotland take great
pride in keeping their streets
clean. 1t would be grand if
our citizens took the same at
titude.
Have you walked down a
back street of Smyrna at
night? have most certainly
done it, and I didn't feel too
comfortable. There were 10
street lights to aid the walk
ing. Lack of street lighting
is inexcusable. After all,
every citizen of Smyrna de-
serves the same lighting priv
ileges on the streets.
One important factor lack
ing in the town of Smyrna is
the adequate recreational fa-
cilities. Sufficient recreation
centers could certainly help tc
keep the children off the
streets. Everyone talks about
the children who roam the
streets, but no one makes ar
effort to remedy this serious
situation. Citizens of Smyr-
ma, let's make up. Give oul
children safe places to play
This would be a great oppor'
! tunity for the children.
