The week of April I to 7 has lieon set as clean up week by the Camden Civic Ivoague, and tho various agencies of tho city are asked to cooperate with them in making Camden a more beautiful city?a cleaner, pleasanter. and altogether letter place in which to live. . All will be urged to clean up their premises and assemble the refuse, tin cans etc. which have accumulated, iu boxes convenient for the city trash wagons which will systematically mver , the city on the clean up dates. | Mayor Yates has informed me iliat a now motor truck has boou ordered and ho was in hopes it would be here to help us in this campaign, but if it is not we will have it to de pend on at a later date. That is a stride iYr?vard for Camden and if we can, only have an incinerator the garbage problem will be solved for the disposal of it after l>eing collected is very unsatisfactory. it seems a pity to litter our drives with tin cans and just hero let me say that if anyone has an old well that they would like tilled if they will noti fy me 1 will have old tin cans sent to them as the Hoy Scouts have kindly offered this assistance* in collecting them for the League . In connection with the clean up let the property owners Brighton up their proj>erty by making needed repairs, repainting buildings ami painting or white washing outhouses and fences. Let our slogau for 1917 be "Camden ^ho cleanest town in the state." Mary L. Goodale.
