LET'S GO BACKAnO WASH THE EARS
For a town that has just had its face
washed and its knees and elbows scrubbed in
a two-weeks1 long clean-up campaign, Seldo
via*is certainly still'a little mussed about
its beach-fronts*

which weren’ t particularly :d‘irfy. j*hyway. But
a walk*'"down;.-along* the beaches, where Seldo

visitors* eyes - a‘l 1 winfer : l;6ng>' ,-w i 1;$ti 11

* as ever, • ■ .
Tired onions,^ wan potatoes, limp card
board boxes, and above allr enough broken
bottles to keep'a glass factory going all
winter in turning out replacements, line
beaches as thickly as ever. Some spots are
comparatively clean, but the bits of shore
line adjacent to the Surf Club and the Lin
wood Ear are covered with a litter that"
doesn’t appear to have been completely turn
ed over for the past six- years.

Since our mild little clean-up Campaign
hasn’t* produced the desired results/ then it
would seen to be about tine for the 'city fa
thers to roll up shirtsleeves and start get
ting tough, rand, if they can’t get tough en
ough, then let’s ask for some brass knuckles
and blackjacks from the territorial sanitar
ians of the Department of Public Health*
Those beaches are a menace . to health as"
they now st^nci. Just because Seldovia has
been lucky enough to get. along without a
summer- epidemic in years past, doesn’t mean
we can crowd that luck forever. Exposed *
garbage is the breeding place .for germs that
can cause deadly diseases. Now Is the time
to eliminate any possibility of disease by-,
ridding Seldovia of germ sources.
It’s a job that can be done. If private
citizens won’t assume responsibility' for :
cleanin7 up their own dirt, then the' city
must take a hand, .usd if the city is forced

Mrs* Susie Lloyd
to sit in on a-garbage
deal, there’s no rea
son why a good share
of the kitty shouldn’t
go into the city trea
sury.
The city meeds mon
ey and the"' beaches
need cleaning' -- seems
like five councilmanic
heads could figure out
a way *to make the one
suoply the other.
