Former Shaw High Schoo

of Mansfield, visited Shaw last
week. Mr.. Strang, and two asso'
ciates from Mansfield, came te

Seems as though Mansfield il
set to build a new pool and

school building program, felt i

Continuing their lovely GUS

mothers of their membership or
Mothers Day, Kiwanis of East
Cleveland is sending a card ano
a dainty handkerchief to the 81
Mons on their list. John Kiefel
, had the welcome detail.
Harpersville, Va, is a small
town with big name. For ter
{ consecutive years it has won
first place as the cleanest town
in the state. How do they get
this way?
Thomas Murry, chairman OF
East Cleveland's Cleanup Com
mite answers. He says every
one in town big enough to help
: gets up early every morning
and gives the town a going
over, yard 10 yard, street to
street. It's an ALL CITIZENS
JOB. And we imagine, woe be
the man, the woman, the boy,
the girl, who is negligent. Mr.
Murry visited Harpersville en-
, route on his early Spring Flor
ida trek. If Harpersville folk
can sweep and scrub and be busy
with a nail on a stick, why can't
East Clevelanders?
Possibly one reason why the
churches do such a good job on
: property cleanliness, is because
of the old adage: Cleanliness is
next to godliness." We would
like to ask a few of the drug
. and food stores why cleanliness
is not a first with them?

Mayor Hynes has promised
Bostonians an unrelenting cam
paign against litterbugs. We are
: glad to see he is using the mas
sive deterrent Of threatened $50
fines for second offenders, as
well as the comeon Of 300 new
trash baskets.
Like the anti-litter campaigns
under way in other cities, Bos-
toms aims at a double effect:
First, the threat of rigorous
enforcement and fines should
curb willful offenders.
Second, the knowledge that
others are no longer getting
away with making the streets
their garbage pail should re-
, strain those who toss out their
gum wrappers because "the
streets are so messy anyway.
How persistent enforcement
of the new campaign will be re-
mains to be seen-seen mostly
by the thousands of tourists who
pour into Boston in late sprin
and summer and report back
home whether it looks like the
cradle of liberty or the cradle OF
litter. The Mayors campaign de-
serves praise-but no confetti.
