Master Callen’s letter fololws: Dear People of Plainville:— We, the children of Plainville, have many interests in this town. We want it to.be neater, nicer, newer and brighter. And to have it €0 we must have our yards clean, our trees sprayed and trimmed, have the 53 cut, ke up the leaves and dead sticks, and have our ashes taken out of the yards. To have our town nicer we m have new roads and sidewalks. make it newer we should have painted and barns also. To make it brighter we should have flowers in our yards and one our lawns. Ve should have voung trees planted a nd put in r yard Then can look in your yards and wil not be ashamed of it. Pecople passing by in carriages and tomobiles see There are other towns- and besides Plainville cleaning up week, so now I hope all the peo. ple of Plainville will clean up and make Plainville neater, newer, ni and brighter To our houses new the people a Yours truy FRED CALLE® Master Marino's contribution to the contest, his grade, is 'herewith given To the People of Plainville: In order to have a neater, newer, brighter, and more town we must work for pecple in this town think to clean it thoroughly. Before I go on there is a question how are we going to have a neater, nicer, newer, brighter, and more attractive town? T will tell vou. Tn order to have a neater town we must clean it, not only the streets, but also our own yards All our rub- ought not to be thrown in the yard, as some people do. but put into barrels or boxes and carted away, for in one or two weeks it will be collect- ed and we shall get rid of many thou sands of germs. To have an attra town we must plant and trees where there are We must not leave tin cans with water in them, because mosquitoes gather there. If there is any hollow ground where water can remain cover it over with loam, for mosquitoes breed in these places. Flies breed in garbage and there will be more germs to do harmful things. Another helpful idea for the benefit the town is to put in a sewer.
