SAFETY is Here to Stay
—ARE YOU?
* * *
CLEAN-UP: Last week Wally
Burnett, Dick Garvin and Bernie
Miller invited a group of interested
residents of the greater Fairbanks
area to discuss the possibilities of
an area-wide clean-up campaign
that would get the area dressed up
for the tourists and continue to keep
it dressed up around the calendar.
This idea has much merit. After all.
cleanliness is the first prerequisite
of community health.
Also, it is refreshing and encour
aging to see some individuals tak
ing the bit in their teeth without
waiting for the Fairbanks Health
and Safety Council to do all the
work. The Health and Safety Coun
cil is backing the Burnett-Garvin
Miller try to the hilt. Won't you.
Mr. and Mrs. Greater Fairbanks? ? ?
