Show LIONS CLUB PUTTING ON CLEAN-UP, PAINT-UP MOVEMENT IN MILFORD In a published statement Dr. Roy al Copeland ex-commissioner of health, for the city of New York, said: "Belter to raise babies than flies.. Dirt fattens flies and kills babies. Baby needs pure air and clean food. He can't get it if theru is dirt around his home." Tuberculosis Tubercu-losis and other germ diseases are generally brought about by dirt and filth. The germs of tuberculosis cannot can-not live where there is sunshine, cleanliness and fresh air. The easiest way to get rid of all disease germs around your home is to clean-up and paint-up and keep it up. Paint and varnish lessen the labor of keeping clean, promote health, inspire in-spire pride, multiply the joys of living liv-ing and increase property values. There ist no better time to paine up than when cleaning up. There is little hope of keeping your premises: cleaned up unless they are painteu; up. Fix it up too. j From the dilapidated condition of' the majority of our fences and back j yards, the town surely needs a good1 going over. ', The weather's wear and tear maKu' many little jobs of repairing, which ' if done in time, require only a few minutes of work, but if neglected, may prove cojtiy. At this time of the year we natur-allv natur-allv turn to nature. Don't we all have hankering to plant something. It's great sport, this planting in Springtime great because it gives1 people th fnest exercise and keeps tv.em out in the open. It doesn't take much space. A small plot of proum. in the back yard, not only produces! a large yield for your labor, but beau Mies your premises. Tt is human nature to respect tnu cleanly, orderly and usefuul. This is shown by the fact that every body points with pride to a beautiful home or : beautiful garden. You can paint a vacant lot with grass or shrubbery or make it a tennis ten-nis court, or a play ground, and public pub-lic respect will keep it from again becoming a dumping ground for tin cans and rubbish. Some people look at the cost oi painting their premises. The facts are, that well painted houses bring more rent. If the owner wishes tu sell his property a "well painted home" inside and out, together will' a nice lawn and trees, a clean back yard, fences and out-houses in a we! 'kept condition will bring the owno. hundreds of dollars more than a dilapidated di-lapidated house. Wouldn't it be wonderful if ij were possible to say that Milford is I the cleanest, best looking city in tht State of Utah. Abraham Lincoln said: "I like tc see a man proud of the place in which ! he lives." j Pride in one's city is the best pre scription for making good citizens. To believe in a city is necessary tc take pride in it. What makes for pride more quickly than beauty. The Lions club, together with tht business men of Milford are foster ing a campaign of clean-up and paint up, plant lawns, trees, gardens, take pride in our city. Everybody get behind this mov to make Milford a cleaner, healthier and. better place to live in. BOOST YOUR TOWN. |
