Cl ean-Up Gets
Slow Start
Actual work on
Seldovia’s Clean - Up
campaign, which open
ed officially on
Thursday, still was
slow in beginning in
the city today, stu
dents of the four
primary classrooms of
Seldovia school have
fulfilled their part
in the project with
the contribution of
the many colorful
posters which are la
vishly distributed
along the Boardwalk.
The campaign,
which was discussed*
and sponsored -by the
Public Health Coun
cil, is to last two
weeks. No work gangs
have been organized
for concerted clean
ing action, according
to Miss Anette Jacob
sen, public health
nurse, but each home
is expected to accept
the responsibility
for clean-up of its
yard, beach and sur
rounding premises.
Miss Jacobsen asks
that cannery opera
tors and owners of
beachfront cooperate
in the campaign by
clearing the water
front of garbage and
debris.
