The Woman's club, in its efforts for a spick and span Grand Rapids has set aside Friday, May 5, as a day when every body is expected to get out and see that their yards and the adjoining premises are cleaned up. | The club furnishes the following notes and advice concerning “Clean up Day:” May 5 has been designat- ed as “clean up day”. This does not mean that we should wait until that ; time to clean up, but that we should have the job finished by that time. When you have raked the lawn in your yard, rake the little plot in the street in front of your lots. It will improve it. Isthere a vecamt lot near you? Could you not make it tidy in ap- pearance by picking up the old tin cans and carting them away with your own rubbish? A plan is on foot to send out work- ing brigades on that day to make spick and span some of the vacant lots.and places that no one has. a per- sonal interest in. If you own property along the creek, why not see to it that there is no unsightliness between your doorway and the stream. Clean up the bank. It is stated a Sunday train is to come here from the range towns each Sunday this summer, If true many visitors will see our streets and properties. Do we want them to seo a single unsightly place? ~-«2+--- Let us not only have a spick and span town but a beautiful one. Every one plant a tree or ehrub. Little Boy Dies.
