Show April 14 To 19 Spring Clean-up Week In Cedar Plans are now complete for the annual Spring Clean Up, Paint Up and Plant Up campaign which Is being sponsored by the Cedar City Junior Chamber of Commerce, according ac-cording to Mark Webster, chairman of the committee in charge of the activity. Starting Monday, April 14th, and continuing through Saturday, April 19th, all efforts of city officials, civic organizations, business houses, schools and private Individuals will be directed toward giving the city the most thorough cleaning it has ever known. Special emphasis will be placed on the removal of rubbish, rub-bish, the planting of lawns, shrubs and trees, and repairing of buildings build-ings and fences and painting of homes and all outside buildings. The business men on Main street have been approached by members . of the campaign committee and most of them have signified their willingness to close their places of business Wednesday morning in order or-der to give those working on Main street a chance to do their. part toward making the town cleaner and a more beautiful place in which to live. The schools have already started their beautlficatlon program and have set aside Wednesday as general gen-eral clean up day around the campus. The B. A. C. students will observe their annual "A" Day on the same date, devoting most of the day to removing the rubbish and . dirt that has been accumulated during the winter months. Two very important projects will , be given consideration during the coming week. The first, that of street tree planting, has already created considerable interest throughout the city and the residents resi-dents on several streets in the town have met and selected the tree to be planted on their street. The second project, that of a town tree nursery, will be undertaken under-taken within a very short time. Last Thursday evening Dean Fisher and Royce Knight, representing the Junior Chamber of Commerce, met with the City Council at which time they proposed that the Council Coun-cil cooperate in the establishment of such a nursery. Their request met with Instant approval and the City offered to supply a plot of ground, 2,000 young trees and sufficient suf-ficient water to Insure their growth with the understanding that the Junior Chamber would undertake to see that the trees were planted and the nursery started. No definite plot of round was agreed upon at the meeting, but It Is highly probable prob-able that a section in the east end of town will be designated for the nursery. The selection of trees for th nursery will be left to the Coordinating Co-ordinating Committee who will select the best trees obtainable. As was announced last week, two prizes will be given In connection with this year's campaign. The Southern Utah Lumber Company will donate a prize of $5.00 for the best slogan of not more than five words, and dealing with the subject sub-ject of City Beautlficatlon. The Sunset Tavern will also donate a prize of $5.00 to the Individual doing do-ing the best clean up Job on a vacant va-cant lot. Snapshots of the lot must be submitted as proof. Everyone is eligible to enter these contests and is urged to get his entry in to Post Office Box 848 by tomorrow (Friday) night.
