In regard to the coming campaign, Dr. Elliott said this morning: "A real cleanup and paintup campaign enlists the whole community, men, women and children, in the work and in tho well-thought-out plans of tho community's com-munity's civic leaders to unite all interests in-terests and organizations into one big active force to make tho city a better place to live in and to do business in; to make tho city beautiful and sanitary sani-tary and safe and kocp it so. "Cleanup is the negative, tho destructive, de-structive, and paint up is the positive, the constructive part of the work. You cannot paint up until you have cleaned up, and you cannot keep things actually clean and sanitary and germ-proof unless they are painted, or varnished, or enameled. Therefore, paint your walls, floors and celling3 often and you will find It a promotion to health. "School children deserve more than slight and trivial recognition in the coming campion, which will toach them tho primary lessons in making and keeping homes and neighborhood neighbor-hood clean, sanitary and attractive, and in bringing to the children living and growing conditions that enable tho schools to deliver to the community communi-ty a worthwhile human product." oo
