IVnn sylvanlit, writes to the Asiorlan. send ing a subscription, and Inquiring about the timber industry stating that hp Is iittctidltig coining to Clatson county All Clothing Bought at WISE'S Pressed Free of Charge Whenever You Wish. Work in Astoria For Civic Im Labor Grafters Responsible for provement and engaging in the lumber business. New York Strike FOR SANITARY REGULATIONS What is Being Don in the Various , Cities of th United States by Local Civic Improvement Societies and the Many Benefits Obtained. In nearly every city of the United States the women have organlxed Civic Improvement societies, with the result that many cities and towns have gone through a complete transformation as rejrards beauty and healthfulness. An organization of this kind is badly need ed in Astoria and it does seem as though there ought to be a sufficient number of ladies wiling to devote portion of their time to improving. cleaning and beautifying the city, es- pcfclaUyj when It is considered that there wil be thoussuids of people visit Astoria this summer, while the con rfition of Its streets and yards are a disgrace to modern civilization. Under the lead of Sirs. Christian, this department of the Houston .Tex., Tost" has begun n series of answers to letters, one of which is answered as follows: "Your letter says. -Our club wishes to take up some active civic work. Where shall we begin? What shall we do flrstr "In our smaller towns there are gen erally three good centers to work from. First, begin at home., "Let each member of iour club pledge herself to look carefuly over her rwn premises and add some improve ment within one -week's time to her Dome surroundings. "This may take the form of a care ful cleaning up of the back yard or the burning of the pile of debris thrown into the adjacent vacant lot; ft may mean the placing of a pot of lerns or geraniums on the front porch; ft may result in spading up the .-lower beds and taking up weVds; at this season, in the general climate of the aouthern half of our state, it should also mean the planting of seeds of swe?t peas, pansies and dasies for next spring's blooming. "If the condtion of your town does not make this beginning of civic work seem the appropriate one, turn your at tention to the town schools. Are the school buildings kept in the most per fect order? Is an efficient Janitor em . ployed? Are , the grounds littered with the refuse of dally lunches? Perfect cleanliness is. the first step toward pro gress. No, I am mistaken, the first step is to consult your school board or irastees and never to antagonize them. Let them see that you are not criti cizing their methods, but rather deplor ing your own indifference in the past t your schools and their needs. Think out what your Schools need In the way f cleanliness and beauty and use your utmost tactfulness to persuade th Board to supply thuse needs them selves. "if your homes and schools represent ideal conditions turn your attention to the railway station. 'Tis the link which Sinds you to the outside world, and the portions of this world which whirls by your door gains its firit impressions of your progress and civic pride from your depot environments. Railwn) corporations art rapidly coming to re ffoijnize the good business policy of a neatly kpt station with a pretty piirk-like enclosure on one side. It Is ri4fiesiiri(t to the passing traveler's jx-nses, and it impresses the alighting passenger with the thought, 'the peo ple people of this town are certainly ap to date. They must have got a tustle upO:i themselves." f-'o he comes with a pleasant feeling Into your midst and goes forth to advertise you. ,"In many cases, a request from your club, backed by the citizens, o th-s railway company, will lead them to make all these improvements at their own expense. One more thought in regard to your station. Place a box or rack in the waiting room, arid con tribute old magazines and periodicals for the use of the public waiting for the train. It wil make the parting Im pression of your town kindly ones and you can not estimate the wide spread influence of . this neighborly action. "With these hints and the original suggestion that wil arise from t.iem, I think you can utilize a great amount ef enthusiasm on the part of your club. One parting word never be discourag ed. Just think when the work gets Sard, of how much good it will do. I think if we have an abiding faith In the work we are striving to push, we have a consolation for every discourage mend. Tou renrimber 'BUI' says: Thrice is he armed that has his quar rel just,' and whether they do anything ur not, the whole world admits the justness of working for civic better-Blent." Subscribers who fall to receive tht Astorian will confer a favor by notify ing the office. New route boys have been put on and it takes some time to become neuuainted with the route, especially where over 1,000 papers urr delivered.
