CLEAN-UP DAY FOR PmEB
There has been some talk, but no action taken..regarding c Cloan-Up day in Palmor some
time in the not too distant future.
Wo like the white nice blanket of snot; in tho early winter, but when spring comes wo
also enejoy cooing it leave'. The ono drawback is that it uncovers too much—things
that we had forgotten to clear away or accumulations of the winter. We scon to have
plenty of those spots in Palmer.
Nor it may bo a little early to get'everything In ship-shape, but it is not too early
to lay our plans for a cloon-up day*—or a weok. Several suggestions have been made.
One is that a clean-up week be named and at the end of that time cn inspection tour
be made by some group like tho Boy Scouts. All places that meet the Standard,as setj
would get a penant on their front door. No ono of course would care to bo caught with
out the pcnrnlt. This method has worked out beautifully in towns much larger then
Palmer. But, there nay bo other suggestions equally as good—and if anyone has any
let us hear from you. This work really ought to be done beford planting season and
before the grass gets very high. Right now it is a little wet, but unless wo get a
lot of snow or rain, it won’t be long boforo it will be dry enough.
A fcv7 of the buildings in the Civic Center hnvo boon painted, r.nd ne do hopo that
some of this paint r;e have coining uill. find its rrr,y on some, more of them, Palmer has
the setting for a very pretty little torn if it .is given a littl.o attention. You can
blame the Co-op for the unpainted buildings, but bvcryonc of us rho live in tho Civic
Center ie. responsible for his ora back door yard.
IT'S YOU.
If you'd like to live in tho kind^of a town,
Like tho kind of a torn you’s like,
You noedn’t slip your clothes in a grip,
And take a long, long hike;
You'll only find uhat you've left behind,
There's nothing that’s real-ly new:
You knock yourself v;hon you knock your torn—
It isn't tho torn, it's you!
ncr.l torn3 '.re not made bv men who’ro
afraid,
Lest sqmo one else gets ahead.
If everyone worked and nobody shirked,
A town can bo raised from the dead.
And if, while you make your personal
state, "
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will soon be what you want to
sc 6—
It isn't the town, it’s youj . .
