It was the national capi al's call to arms. Everybody volunteered. There was no age limit ii either direction. Nobody was rejected because of defec tive teeth, ingrowing toe-nails, strabis nus or housemaid's knee. The big army miobilized overnight. It armed itself broomsticks in hand, brushes ditto, scrub-cloths, soap, water, rakes, pa int cans and buckets ! No Lack of Preparedness. Washington (lid not get its orders from the White house or from the big building under the gilded dome at the top of Pennsylvanla avenue.

In these days of patriotic service we should "Keep the Home Fires Burning"-the fires of community life and spirit and efhciency, and all the activities that promote cheerful and pleasant and healthful surroundings in American homes and communities. Cleanliness, Thrift and Civic Pride are the essentials for homes and towns beautiful, and safe from the ravages of disease and fire and storm and sun. HELP CONSERVATION AND PRODUCTION. It is our patriotic duty to promote conservation and production in every possible way-to conserve civic ideals as well as health and property; and to increase commercial and industrial, as well as food production, that all may be enabled as well as urged, to "save for our country's needs." This cause is too big for any mere "week." The need is too immediate for any delay. The work comprisea too many piases of community effort for any single group or interest to assume its conduct. An immediate and continuous and thorough campaign that represents and enlists every interest arid organization, every man, woman and child in the community, in a crusade of Cleanliness, Thrift and Civic Pride and their practical application in every way, is needed. THIS YEAR "FOR THRIFT'S SAKE" CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP. Such a crusade is annually conducted in 7,000 cities and towns enlisted in the nation-wide Clean-Up and Paint-Up Campaign, that reduced Cincinnati's fire Insurance cost over $160,000 in one year, that planted nearly a million "Thrift Gardens" in the nation last year, and that, by a score of other prac tical and popular activities, has made thousands of communities and hundreds of thousands of homes "better places in which to live." The co-operation of the whole community is necessary, from this moment and throughout the campaign; and we especially urge the utmost effort in giving the campaign a good start by making the Opening Week a complette success, a big community event. This will be OPENING WEEK. Help to make our community recognized ar. in the forefront among happy, healthy, thrifty, prosperous, and beautiful American communities.

"President Johnson reported that all but $10,000 of the amount needed to ntenre large conditional gifts for a Young Vomen's Christian Association building for the college had been raised.
