CHAMBER OF COMMERCE URGES
EVERYONE TO CLEAN UP, PAINT UP
“The Chamber of Commerce desires to impress upon all citizens of
Griffin the importance of Clean Up and Paint Up week, which begins today.
“Just as individuals are judged upon first appearance by the neatness
of their dress and the favorable impression that a well dressed man
or
woman makes upon a stranger, just so a city. Every community is judged
.by the nicely painted business houses and dwellings as well as by its $lean
^Streets “ Not and onl its well kept parks.
I y does il; impress the stranger within our gates and creates a
most favorable impression for Griffin, but it positively produces a better
feeling among our own citizens and puts genuine pep” into the people,
thereby stimulating business.
“In order to accomplish the results desired it is necessary that every
citizen of Griffin co-operate with the Clean Up and Paint Up committee of
the Chamber of Commerce and do their part individually to make the week
a success.
Every merchant and business man can assist by putting a fresh coat
-of paint on the front of Ibis store and brighten up hi s show windows;
house every
owner (who can) should make it a point to paint their houses during
the week or start the work and finish as soon as possible; every house
keeper should arrange to have a thorough cleaning up of the premises by
collecting up all garbage, cutting the lawns and generally beautify the
premises.
“If all of the people will co-operate, in this work and do his or her part,
then the work will be a success and Griffin will be the cleanest and prettiest
citty in Georgia. •
"This is what the Chamber of Commerce wants and calls upon every
citizen to co-operate with it in bringing about these results.

WARFARE TO VISIT
STATION
General Amos A. Fries, chief

of the corps of assistants
here on the boll weevil poisoning
signment.
J. E. Mills, chief chemist of
chemical warfare service
laboratories, Edgewood Arsenal, ar
rived Sunday. Mr. Mills’ visit is for
the purpose pfarganing th*- -Wb
weevil investigation to be conducted
in the chemical laboratories of the
Georgia experiment station during
the winter months.
Messrs. Walker, McQuaid and
Sachs have beep on location at Ex
periment for two months, coming
immediately after the investi
gation was authorized and the ap
propriation insured for the work
through Senator Harris’ efforts.
This project is financed from ar
my funds, the chemical warfare ser
vice being authorized to use not to
exceed $25,000 of their own funds
for the work.
Director Stuckey, of the Georgia
experiment station, has provided
every facility to expedite boll wee
vil studies. Laboratory space ha*
been provided in the chemistry
building under the direction of F. H.
Smith, agricultural chemist.-"
To date several hundred poisons
have been tested out on weevils.
Although this project was taken
up almost, at the. end of the cotton
growing season the chemists have
obtained encouraging results al
ready. Operations during the winter
will consist mainly of the prepara
tion of tables classifying several
hundred poisons to show relative
toxicity toward the weevil.
Selection of the Georgia station
as location for the work is due to
representations mpde by the
staff and by Senator Harris
showed the many superior advan
tages of the Griffin location, and of
the station’s equipment, both of per
sonnel and physical facilities.
