This "clean-up and paint-up"
campaign, now a nation-wide move
ment. originally started in Oakland
and has spread over the United
States.
Beautifying the community,is one
of the major ideas behind the
movement, but. the fact that "clcan-
ing-iip and painting-up" also safe
guards health, promotes thrift and
increases fire protection have
naturally followed.
Fire hazards, eatised by piles of
rubbish, are deceased by the clean
up and the promotion of health
comes with the removal of the ac
cumulated trash. Ilenlth is also pro
moted with the painting of interior
surfaces which tends to make for
more sanitary surroundings.
This campaign will give work to
painters, decorators, gardeners and
laborers. In addition to creating
work, the campaign will also beau
tify our city and surroundings.
Practically every paint store in the
Enstbay territory has announced
special low prices on paints and
painting supplies for this week. The
home owner may save money by
purchasing his needs during this
time.
First Impressions are the most
lasting ones and every home owner
should be proud of the first im
pressions his friends receive when
visiting him. A freshly painted
