T)h> "Cle'rtn Up and Paint Up" cam palgn is, after h)1. a housekeeping job. and fur that reason every housekeep er should co-operate with the town of ! flc-ials in making the town spotless. Nothing pleases one more than to have a visitor say what a Is-autiful town you live in. Why not make your town the cleanest In America? It's easily done. Have harmony reign and all work together and you will be sur prised at the result. Now, let us all pull together for a spotless town! By THE EDITOR. MONKKYH Imitate. Sheep follow the leader.

Klght there the inonk^' In man asserts Itself. Today your nelghboV lixes up his yard, removes rubbish, plants flow ers, trims his hedge, paints his house. Tomorrow your own place looks sick. You never noticed before that a little cleaning up ami painting up would accomplish so much in maklug home life happy and healthy through the long- outdoor months of Hummer. So you get busy with the pruning shears, the rake, lawn mower* and garden hose. You start a painter Working on your house and outbuild ing Forthwith you. your wife and the kiddles begin to realize more fully the "Joy of living" in the good old summer time. Day after tomorrow other neighbors will begin to perk up their premises and their persons. Then others will follow their example, and so the spirit of spring's regeneration will spread from house to house and block to Idock. Hut let's not wait for this creeping regeneration of our town. Let's organize Immediately a continuous "Clean T'p and Paint Up" campaign and make the refurbishing a thorough community movement. Our offi cial community can help, and no can each civic organisation, and the business men , and the women, and the children. Let's make "Clean l'p hihI raint l'p and Keep It Up" our slogan and live up to it. SI.VCE ITercuIes diverted the rlTer to reiiovute the Augean stables "< 'lean Pp" has lnid its place In the world's vernacular. With Spring the desire to refurbish comes subconsciously into the hearts of men and women, and communities. Hut without direction and sustained effort the expression of (hat desire, in the form of the ordinary "Clean I'p Day" or "Weekj" is apt to result in a super ficial sally against filth. Years ago Allen W. (."lark, a St. Louis editor, made up his mind that this natural "Clean I'p" Instinct could be turned to account, that it could be de veloped into a real campaign working toward definite ideals and accomplish ing permanent results. And so. in Mqy. liM'J. Mr. Clark founded the National "Clean I'p and I'aint I'p" Campaign Bureau, with headquarters in St. I,ouis. He hoped that a thorough-go ing movement, national in its sco|>e and practical In Its principles, might take the place of the "annual bath" idea as expressed In the old-time "clean up day" or "week." A National Civic Movemfnt. I 'or four years the scope of the Na tional Bureau's service has rapidly ex tended until this year It Is co-operating ?with more than tl,000 loeaT communi ties In the organization and direction of real "Clean Pp and Palnf I'p" <'anj palgns. not "days," or "weeks."' Con tinuous campaigns for homes and hometowns l>eautlful, sanitary and safe, conducted by permanent commit tees, mid involving the co-operation of city and town officials, club women, commercial organization*, the children, fire prevention Interests, all business men and property owners, la the goal aimed at by all of the National Itu reau's propaganda. Mr. Clark dec lares that the bane of any community Is the citizen who lacks even n semblance of interest In the community, and that, strange as it may seem In a demoeracy, absence of this interest seems to be pretty generally prevalent in the average American community Such a citir.en would have "The Town" or "The City." whatever those names may signify when the t>ody of citizens is eliminated, keep the street* and alleys clean, preserve the public and individual health, elim inate nuisances, make everything in town spick and span and satisfactory ?while the citizen sits ba^k ami looks on. The real "Clean Up and i'aint Up ' | campaign, organized on the plans of the National Bureau, gives everyone aomething definite to do to help make their hometown beautiful, sanitary and safe. And the campaign's educational influence should work steadily the year 'round and year after year, auto matically eliminating ? many nuisances caused formerly hy carelessness or thoughtlessness of property owners tfad tenants.
