A plea for cooperation of all the business people and the va rious organizations of the city in the clean-up and paint-up campaign this week wax made by J. M. Person, chairman of the city beautiful committee of the chamber. Refuse is being car ried away at reduced prices and th«- Boy Scouts are receiving 15 per cent on all pledges they get signed up. Lack of tidiness is a detriment to the community. J. H. Garrett, chairman of the community relations committee, said the feeling wax strong in th«- district south of Cornelius for direct connection with the Hills boro exchange, rather than For est Grove. A check made at one time showed one call to Forest Grove, two to Portland and 29 to Hillsboro. It was suggested that the initial move should come from the people in the Cornelius district if a change was wanted. It was felt that the people were entitled to a hearing.
