And a city is alter all, only the sum total of its parts, people, you and me. With clean-up, paint-up, fix-up time approaching, it is time for u* individually and collectively tc nd ourselves of any indiffer ence and get ready to support fix- coming campaign. For this area, April 1 is the kick-off day for which a parade n- scheduled as the opening event <>f the 1957 campaign. More ela- ixirate plans have been outlined for this year and many more people are working on this com munity project because they be lieve the results that can be achieved are well worth the ef fort The parade date and de tails about it will probably be decided this week. Tourists, visitors and new busi nesses are not attracted to the town where trash litters vacant lots, streets are cluttered and grass and shrubbery are allowed to grow without trimming. Such unkept communities do not indi cate progressiveness. Even though this year’s cam paign has not officially started, some effprt to overcome part of the local trash condition was ac complished last Wednesday at the dinner served by the Rain bow Girls for the annual meet ing of the Highway 99W Alter nate Road association. Some money from ticket and advertis ing sales by the girls for this iiffair will be used to purchase trash cans for use in the business tection of Bridge street. The • girls’ effort in this direction is I deserving of applause. As an incentive for cleaning «nd repairing property, three con. 1 tests are being worked out, one f'>r improvement of yards, one lor remodeling and repairing of homes and the third for remodel- •ng and repairing of business buildings. Appropriate recogni tion and prizes for accomplish ments in these three categories will be part of the campaign ac tivity to show what has taken place during the period from April 1 through October 31 when the contest closes To help property owners carry <<1 the job of improvement, a clean-up check list is being pre pared for mailing to every home in the area. Briefly, here are reasons why the coming campaign is valuable to everyone, even though some may be considering a move else where in the next few months A'iean up, paint-up. fix-up pro duces h tilth and safety, develops community spirit, reduces fire, losses, teaches good housekeep ing and respect for property. It encourages landscaping of vacant lots, improves employee morale, discourages crime, stabilizes, re- »tores and increases value of real estate and teaches youngsters a valuable civics lesson.

The governor has long been a proponent of changes for the better in education, being well acquainted with these prob lems and he very likely knew that his statement would create a lot of adverse comment from educators. We admire him for his stand and think he very likely had sound basis for his statements. Wolffs Visit fit Hood River Home DATES io Remember TREES 1 THURSDAY. MARCH 21 F. L.
