C. H. WfllkMs Home From Trip.
Charles H. Williams, secretary of
the University Extension Division, re
turned Friday night from St. Louis
where he went on University business. ip their homes during clean-up week
will begin. Eight teams with wagons
and drivers and etra men will visit
Columbia homes and haul away rub
bish. Ever thing is ready for a thor
ough brighten-up campaign.
According to .Major J. M. Batterton,
it is not certain just where the work
of cleaning-up will start. The town
has been divided into four sections
with Broadway and Eighth streets as
the dividing line. In each section
there will be two wagons with drivers.
Two extra men will be used to load.
Two more men will be stationed in
each section to supervise the work and
hasten the loading and unloading.
With this system three men will al
ways be qn h.nd to load and as fast
as one wagon Is filled there will he
another ready to he loaded. Mayor
Batterton believes that in following
this plan the- town can be cleaned
in three or four days.
The Women's Civic League, which
has been foremost In promoting a
clean-up week for Columbia, will help
systematize the cleaning-up process.
This organization has divided the town
into seventeen sections in each one of
which two women will work. Their
part will be to carry on the educa
tional work. They will visit the homes
in each section and advise the resi
dents to have their refuse matter
ready for the wagons. Mayor Bat
terton said yesterday that he wanted
to emphasize the fact that it is ne
cessary for every home to have its
rubbish collected and placed In a pile
In front of the house so that the wag
ons would not have to drive into alleys
and back yards.
The boy scouts will be on hand, too,
during clean-up week.. One patrol un
der Roscoe Gillaspie has already of
fered its services. As soon as the
work- is explained to the rest of the
patrols it Is believed every boy scout
In town will offer to assist In the work.
The scouts will be divided Into squads
of four and each one will aid in the
educational work. Monday afternoon
the scouts will go over the town -deliv
ering fly swatters, Two members of
a squad will take one side of a street
and two the other side. When deliv
ering the swatters the scouts will also
advise the residents to have their rub
bish ready for the wagons. On Tues"
day, Wednesday and Thursday they
will assist in loading the wagons.
J. E. McPherson, superintendent" of
public schools of Columbia, has ad
vised the teachers in the high school
to tell the students that it is their
duty to aid their parents in cleaning
