PREVENT FIRE

Accumulations of rubbish and inflammable scraps are dangerous, since they supply fuel for the chance spark or flame. Just as carelessness is the cause of many fires, carelessness in securing proper protection has swept away a life time savings. M. M.

Shore Resorts Should Be First To Clean Up Thotuands of Progpecttve Renter* and Buyer* are Now Format* Their Impmrions of Pisces Make These Favorable The seashore resorts should be particularly interested in the National Clean-Up Campaign that Is being waged throughout the country- The summer season will betfin before the resorts are ready unless they spend unusual effort. At this time of the year we are favored by thousands of visitors, prospective buyers, prospective renters of cottages and apartment*. With many of these people the first Impreaslon is a lasting one. The appearance of a house or street may be the determining factor in aiding in the decision to locate here for the summer or ek moie pleasant surroundings. In Ute year* the seashore resort* have expended considerable money In advertising the particular advantages of their resort. Of what value is that money spent if the visitor attracted by ads finds ■ the place unkempt and dirty? The prospective summer citlxen j will pay particular attention to: the health conditions. Dirt breed* ; 4Mease. Many of the larger cities I have been centers of epidemic* of : various kinds during the past winter mothers and fathers have spent considerable time and worry to prevent their children from becoming victims of the plague, j More people than ever will look ; to the seashore this summer. Not only os a matter of recreation, but from a standpoint of health. Clean up in a seashore resort is simple compared with the Industrial centers. To start with there . M an absence of soot from the com-, mon smoke nuisance. The hard surfacing of the highways abates the 'lust nuisance, but the property owner and citlsen tbemaelve* are the only ones that clean up the outaide appearance of their homes. To clean up a lot of weeds, to w a little grass, to take care of _ few shrubs and watch a few flowers grow Is not a task. It to a privilege. Any man or woman that has never had the opportunity to spend a bit of time with nature. whether it be playing with a gram plot or cultivating a flower bed. has missed something in this life. Health and pleasure awaits every amateur gardener and every amateur gardener to a real asset to any community. One of the quickest ways to In«.ease the salt value ot any property to to apply a coat of paint. Paint, like charity, will cover a multitude of sins, which If not covered become eyesores. One of th# leading paint manufacturer* advertise "the paint that pays for Itaelf.” Most any kind of paint will do that. Says the Christian Science Monl- j ‘'Enlisted In the Clean Up and ! Paint Up propaganda are men with , a variety of motives for their support. but all agreeing substantially on this: that a neat community Is a pleaaanter pMce to live In than a slovenly one and that the amount of paint annually used in a village, town or city 'a as fair an ocutof Index of its clvUUa'ion as can be found. Compared with some other sec--,«as of the country. New England's annual paint bill is large. But it can be made larger, with advantage to property owners, to tenants of domiciles and factories and to tourists. Co-operative action by all sorts and conditions of persons not only is likely to mean a maximum of; community cleansing but also an Increase in civic unity. A com-1 mon task, undertaken together, at the same time, and done for community ends Is apt to be educational In IU effect. Done today to rid streets, yards, cellars and attics of rubbtoK It may be followed tomorrow by a clean-up In •ueb civic affair* aa may need it In the cities and towna.
