THE CAMPAIGN TO FINISH
OLD MAN DIRT IS NOW ON
The greatest effort ia the history j
of cleanliness is on: 1
For cleanliness has a history. It's ;
influence can he traced down the j
aces. Those races that were Clean
were those races that were the Mas
ters.
The Athenians, with their baths [
and beautiful homes, concurred the
Persians, with their unkempt beards
and dirty skins. The Romans, with
their aqueducts, their barbers, their
gardens, teat back the barbarians j
with their goat skins and greasy
fingers.
Louis the Fourtheenth was the }
most dainty monarch France ever j
had and one of her mightiest. Filth
kept the Panama canal from being
built years before it finally was.
Bolshevism flourished when the dirty
and the ignorant gained control in
Russia—anarchy breeds in filth ar.i i
squalor.
Cleanliness has always been potent.
The American soldiers in France was
as miserable when he missed his bath
as when he missed hot meals. But
modem, American sanitation saved
!
j
millions of lives in the great war.
Rea! people, the wise, the leaders ;
in progress, always have fought for
cleanliness. At times it has been a
sporadic fight, a skirmish. A clean j
man was handicapped by a neighbor j
who let his premises run wild. But j
co-operation hat been brought to j
play at last.
This year, in the United States j
alone, seven thousand villages, towns *
and cities are campaigning for clean
liness. and health. They are not
doing so for a cay or a week but in
a continuous campaign. There is a
steady pressure.
Tin cans, fiies, refuse, dirt, waste
paper, unsightly buildings, unpair.ted
surfaces are taboo.
Augusta's Clean-up Drive starts ;
this mortise. Every man. woman |
ana child should unite to put Au- j
gusta on the map in this nation wide
crusade for cleanliness and better
living conditions. This is the right
time to don overalls and with rake,
broom and scrub brush drive demon !
dirt from cur midst.

Municipal Housecleaning
While housewives busy themselves
in doers in preparing for the summer
by cleaning the home from roof to
cellar in the good old fashioned way.
municipal housecleaning is also com
ing into fashion. Hardly a com- (
munity in Maine, nowadays, does
without its annual •'clean-up" week.
All the unhealthy accumulations of
the winter, which in warmer weather j i
are a menace to health are disposed .
of in “clean-up” weeks. Now is the
time to dispose of garbage and ashes,
of tin cans and waste: to clean up
the dirty corners of the community, j
its dump heaps, its gutters, and gul-1
lies: to start a vigorous campaign ;
against flies and vermin and filth.
Now is also the time for the muni- i
cipality to look into the living eon- j
ditions of its citizens to see that j
homes are sanitary, connected with j
the sewer: conceal no nuisance. As :
the housewife digs into the dark cor- j
ners of her home, public spirited i
citizens should look into the uasani- j
tary corners of their city.
Next week is clean up week in Au- j
gusta. Prepare today to do your!
share. ,
Consider what you have tn the j
smallest chosen library. A company !
of the wisest and wittiest men that j
could be picked out of all civilized
countries, in 1,000 years, have set in
best order the results of their learn
ing and wisdom. Tl\e men them
selves were hid and inaccessible, sol
itary, impatient of interruption,
fenced by eliquette; but the thought
which they did not uncover to their
bosom friend is here written out in I
transparent words to us. the strung- I
srs of another age —Emerson. • I
