For Gardeners

Nothing is worse for a city,

for this year and many more

Tourists, visitors and new busi

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

Even though this year’s cam

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

tests are being worked out, one
f'>r improvement of yards, one
lor remodeling and repairing of
homes and the third for remodel-

buildings. Appropriate recogni

will be part of the campaign ac

been a proponent of changes for
the better in education, being
well acquainted with these prob

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.
