Tbat waa a fine service performed by our Fir* laddiea tb* other
day when tbey volunteered, and
cleaned and flushed tbe Main street
of ear borough. It aaay have been
a gentle hint ter our town Council.
V it was not so intended, the Conn*
ell should wake np and ao* to It
tbat this kind of work be done more
frequently. There Is nothing of
much more importance te the
health and welfare of my comma-
nity than cleanliness. The one
who aald it waa next to Godliness
ws* not far wrong.
Some weeks ago the burg*** called our attention to "Clean Up
Week." The firemen hav* set the
example and there is more auch
work needed. We have a beautiful town, bnt our Main street,
where strangers mostly travel,
might think of aa everything else
than beautiful. A dirty street,
walks littered with papers and peanut shells, window filled with alt
sorts of pastors snd cobweb* *nd
even weed* growing in, tht corners,
does net apeak very well for our
town and for such fine people aa
we do have.
Not all of our business men are
wide awake and up to date. Every
real business man knows that it is
one of the beat wave ot advertising
to keep things clean and nuke his
place attractive. All over the
country mills, factories, coal mine*,
brick yards and our state highways
are being beautified and kept clean.
There hav* been many business failures in the past few yeara, there
might have been fewer h*d some of
tbe men used their leisure hours in
cleaning ap and thus inviting success. -*'v^"k<
Some of our unoccupied store
rooms and vacant let* are a die-
grace to the borough. It should
be the duty of our town council to
9!U&s8ss ..AJaTSjmgft.jfe
these place*. Other business men
are being affected by thia neglect
and some of these place* more than
likely would not be empty if th«y
were made more attractive. Then
there are tumbled down, places ' in
other parte of the town that should
be removed Other places that are
fire traps and should be looked after
before it ia too late.
We heve many organisations and
various club* bat the « la one more
we need vary badly. We bead a
"W(oman's Civic League" whose
slogan of motto should be "A More
Beautiful Bellwood.** Let us wake
up, clean up and be proud of our
town.

to follow in their footsteps as

Tbe firemen plan to make a canvass to raiae fund* to buy instruments and pay for uniform* and all
good citizens should be quick te respond. The firemen as* a strictly volunteer organisation aad seldom ask th* town for assistance,
and 'those of our citizens who remember the flat feeling on holidays
