HOMES AND STREETS
IN CLEANUP WEEK
Cleanup Week results in Palm
er were gratifying, but still more
“polishing up” and continuous
effort are needed, Eugene Kirsch,
chairman, said yesterday.
He urged all business firms and
homes to be sure debris is re
moved from their property before
the influx of Colony Day visitors
Sunday.
Most of the business houses
have made noticeable improve
ment in their properties. New
fronts, new paint, polished win
dows are shining points on the
“main drag.” Around homes,
gardens have been planted, the
grounds raked, and approaches
smoothed.
“We have some fine looking
spots in Palmer now,” Kirsch
said.
He gave especial mention to
George Small, Jack Zimowski
and Carl Meier who donated
trucks and labor when Explorer
Scouts collected rubbish and gave
the last sweep around town.
“Everyone deserves credit for
individual efforts to present a
clean face for Colony Day—but
let’s keep up the effort for our
own civic pride,” Kirsch said.

The matter of refuse on the
main streets is complicated by in
coming construction workers, ser
vice men and tourists. Kirsch
asked business houses, especially j
those on the main highway, to do
what they can to keep the walks
and any vacant adjoining proper
ty clean of refuse.
“We’re a beautiful town in a ►
beautiful setting. Let’s keep it
a clean town as well,” he urged.
