This spring clean-up is the starting start-ing gun, so to speak, of a seven-year seven-year clean-up campaign to beauti-ry beauti-ry Utah for die centennial in 1947. It is important that we accomplish accomp-lish a great deal this spring and summer because of the increased tourist traffic Utah will have, due to the World's fair. Furthermore, we must continue our clean-up and improvement campaign throughout the entire seven years. The rubbish pile, manure pile, and shabby buildings we eliminate this spring cannot be allowed to accumulate ac-cumulate again. 1 A clean community affects the health of its residents and visitors visi-tors by eliminating rats and flies. Each rat in our community does $2 damage a year, but in aadition, rats are spreaders of disease. Rats must have a place to breed. Their preference is a ganbage dump where they find both food and shelter. They also like back yards where large piles of . rubbish afford af-ford shelter anil where the household house-hold wastes are thrown into the back yard, giving them their food. To destroy tue rat we must do away with his breeding piace. If we do away with his breeding place we save money, prevent disease dis-ease and beautify our community. The fly is a well-known spreader spread-er of many diseases. Many rabies will die this summer of "summer complaint" or "infantile diarrhea." This killer is carried by germs commonly spread from human feces to the baby's food by flies. : The fly breeds in manure piles. A manure pile for flies to breed and multiply in, an insanitary open privy nearby and an open kitchen window with food exposed, causes I much sickness and death. If we eliminate the manure pile and the insanitary privy we eliminate the fly, prevent much disease and beautify our community. |
