Bays the Ileal JOstate Journal.
CLEAN COMMUNITIES HEALTHY
Filth iu itself ran not generate dis
ease. but In the long run, barring un .
usual exceptions, low death rates and
Ioiik life always come with records of
clean communities.
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. And moat of ua ? men,
women aud children alike? are prone to do the Hatne.

great thought* and do things worth while. I>eprvssed hy environment,
we can sink Into the dcptliH of deHj>ondency.
But, thanks to human powers of Initiative, we ran shape our environ

our oWn In te rents linked with those of our neig hbors that when we Im
prove our own surroundings, he It ever so little, we Improve theirs.
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.
A ftuggaation For Our Town.
Tbe methods for accomplishing all of
tl?is suggested by the Nation* ! Bureau
j *"c well Illustrated by a brief desorl{>
t ? i ? ? i <>?' the local campaign organization
i:i >'?<*. l.ouis. With various adaptations
this si. I,ouls plan has l>een found
praet i'-:ible In any c-ity . no matter how
large or small.
The entire campaign is under the di
rection the Continuous St. Ix>uis

Committee, of Ahich ?'harles M. Tal

rious civic and business leaders. Includ
ing the leading club women of the city.
Kach member of the general commit
tee Is chairman of a subcommittee re- ,
sponsible for some definite department
of the campaign's activity. The Di- ;
rector of Streets and Sewers is chair- 1
man of the committee on "Refuse
Clean-up," the chief of the Fire De- !
partment is chairman of the commit
tee on flro prevention and the head of
the Health Department i< chairman |
of the committee on housing reform.
