For I know that refuse and rubbish piles mar the beauty of my home and city ; that they are the breeding place of flies and vermin; that, as potential starting points of fire, they menace my property and threaten my family with death—both my own and my neighbor’s. “Therefore: I am a good neighbor. I take pride In m.v home, my yard, ray alley and my street. I keep my premises pslnted. my lawn trimmed and green. The passerby on the side walk pauses to gaze at my brilllant- hued porch boxes and flower beds. “I am prond of the cleanliness of my home—both Inside and out There are no Junk piles In my alley or yard, no rubbish plies In my basement or at tic. I can look straight In the eye— any day—painter or electrician. Are warden or health Inspector—and smile. “ But I am prouder still of Wilming ton because It Is known far and wide as a city both beautiful and clean. I am a good citizen!" Just substitute your home town for .Wilmington, and live according to the creed. W e want YOU!
