CLEAN UP TIME IS HERE
There comes a time in the yearly existence of every
Alaskan city when it becomes a matter of civic and
community pride to clean up the accumulated winter’s
debris, thus lending a greater air of attractiveness to
our home surroundings, and negavating the possibility
of pestilential outbreak.
Due to Nome’s lack of modern sewage facilities and
the general practice of dumping ashes, cans and gar
bage onto any lot that is handy, it is imperative that the
situation be cleaned up as rapidly as possible. The
mean daily temperatures are now above freezing—al
ready a choice variety of odors assail the sensitive nos
tril, and the lurking germ of disease soon follows. Co
incident with the disappearance of our winter’s accum
ulation of snow, a Clean-up Campaign is most essential.
Juneau, Anchorage, Ketchikan and others have this
year especially featured the annual spring clean-up. In
Juneau banners were hung across streets and commit
tees appointed from civic organizations to assist in pro
moting the campaign, which used as a slogan. Clean Up
—Pick Up—Paint Up. This latter calls to mind the
considerable number of unpainted buildings and houses
in our town—of course we agree that Rome was not
built in a day, but its getting on three years since the
late lamented fire—a well kept exterior is usually indi
cative of neatness and cleanliness within.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY OR ANY DAY
I have to live with myself and so
I want to be fit for myself to know,
I want to be able as the day goes by
Always to look myself straight in the eye.
I don’t want to stand with the setting sun
And hate myself for the things I have done,
I want to go out with my head erect
I want to deserve all men’s respect.
And here in the struggle for fame and wealth
I want to be able to like myself.
I don’t want to look at myself and know,
That I am bluster and bluff and empty show.
I never can hide myself from me
I see what others can never see,
I know what others may never know
I want to live with myself, and so
Whatever happens I want to be.
Self respecting and conscience free.
—Edgar A. Guest.
A party ot Maine folks are coming north this sum
mer. Privately, they probably want to find how that
adage came to be changed to “As Alaska goes, so goes
the nation. —Juneau Empire.
Just in case they haven’t found the answer to “what
is as rare as a day in June?’ . we would like to suggest
an Alaska day in May besidea tumbling stream with the
sun gleaming on the snowcapped, rugged peaks beyond.
—Juneau Empire.
