Show sh;i:i:ts 1 Writ Ifii by Sixth Kiade pupil. I As I understand, (he mayor of (his city will set apart a week which w;il i ailed ( b-lin up week. I know all of us couldn't et our work done in e .-.iiie il.iy so why not siart on the first day of the week. i.e( us nit si;ir( on the sireets. Notice the old dried leaves lymn around which have decayed durin; he Ioiik wet si'iisun. Here Is a piio of decayed bones and yonder are a iev obi tin cans scattered about. All (his rubbish has a tendency to breed sickness and disease at this time of vear. So why not every one rid his street of theso unsightly things. As to the trees. 1 know every one would rather see well trimmed trees than riiKKi'd, loppy ones. I know the liintnitiKs make a mess, but lifter lev are cleaned up and the 'mile -valks are swept, we all feel satisfied .nil well paid for the time we have pent. Take the ditches, there are dozens iinl need to be si ra iKhteued, but ome of the people think all of this work Is for (be city to do. as we know the city can't do ev erv thln(; nni my way I think a citizen out;ht lo do that much toward cleanlni; his own premises. (if course, the brldites the clly Is nuppoHCd lo keep up. but (hey are very often overlooked. So It would not be a bad Idea to notify the civ council or the road supervisor about such thlncs. Any one ourIu to be that much Interested In his own street, every street In town will be elenned In a very short I line. Here and there, (here niichl be a vacant lot, but It would not take loin; If we boys and Kills would ;et busv nnd hiin i-lc.-iii (but Kti-,i.,t Also there are old men and women who are not able to net out and clem their side walks. If some of yo'i scouts or even we Kills would do what we ouc.bl to. we would i;et busy and help (hem. No matter how beaut Ifnl a bulld-Iiir bulld-Iiir or fence may be. the beauty of It la lost if the sireets and sidewalks KurrnundlnK II are dirty and unkept. so why nol Kot to work now and see what can he done for It Is mv opin-Ion opin-Ion thai every citizen whether rich or poor, sick or well, obi or vouni; should feel responsible to aid In niali Ini; and keepiiiK a healthful and beautiful clly. No doubt you all know that prl.'es are I'olni; to be riven and 1 think If every one will list- this uie'hod Mt. Pleasant will certainly have the prize, Hernlce Madsen |
