PEOPLE GO OUT OF WAY
TO VISIT BRIGHT SPOTS
A lit!.0 paint, shrubberey, some
thought arid a few days’ work have
converted one of the dingiest corners
SEEING OURSELVES IN THE MIRROR
It’s human enough to become a little careless of appearances occasion
ally. There are few who are not guilty.
As with the individual, so with the community.
Every town, once in a while, lapses into carelessness and finds itself
needing a bath, shave, shampoo and new duds.
And when any self-respecting town, such as Griffin, awakens to its
sartorial delinquency, it immediately sets forth to “spruce up. »
Griffin is going to put on new raiment this week!
For appearance sake, for health sake, for economy’s sake, Griffin^is
going to clean up, paint up and fix up.
Griffin is cleaner than most towns, but—well—is that quite enou to
say for Griffin? Doesn't it sound better to say: “Griffin is the cleanest
town in the state ? Or in the United States
And Griffin really does need more paint, both in the business and resi
dential section. ■s
Therefore this week has been designated Clean Up and Paint Up Week
by the Chamber of Commerce, so we can take stock of ourselves in the
mirror, and then pitch in and make the town shine like a new silver dollar.
Griffin need not be told of the many important benefits of cleaning up
and painting up the town. It need only be awakened to the fact that the
town needs it, and its self-respect will do the rest.
Griffin has a well-developed spirit of civic pride. It has proved this in
countless, tests.
Griffin will paint up and clean up, not only because thousands of tour
ists will pass through the city this winter, not only because it will help
attract trade to the city, not only because it wiH help advertise the city in
many ways, nodt only because it means a healthier community and reduced
bills for doctors and medicine, not o nly beca use it will be economical to
save the paint surface, not alone for these and many other equally as
important reasons, but because its citizens have too much pride, both per
sonal and civic, and too much self-respect not to paint up and clean up
wfhen the realization dawns that it is needed.
Let’s make a good job of it, first, with our own premises. Then, if
our neighbors procrastinate, drop a gentle hint that brushes, both scrub and
paint, rakes and brooms, vacuum cleaners and other dirt chasers, along
with 67 first-class varieties of paints and varnishes, can be obtained at some
convenient store.
The News, however, predicts that there will be few slackers this week.
It further prophesies that once the town has “primped up,” it will continue
to blossom forth daily in radiant costume for many months to come.
in the city to a bright, cheerful spot
which everybody will enjoy passing.
Since it is to be used commercially
they will enjoy stopping. Many peo
ple will go out of their way to visit
the place on account of its attractive
appearance. They will infer that
people who have the taste and energy
to express a sense of beauty and
care in the exterior of their property
will give superior service. Probably
they will be right.
Trimmed trees, clipped hedges,
trained bushes, weeded beds, velvety
lawns and parkways, fresh paint and
a general air of being cared for are
characteristics of the better grade
streets in all modern cities. Civic
and neighborhood pride should oper
ate toward the care of property
whether rented or owned. Neglect is
a community concern.
They represent and reach the wom
en of the city who can and will do
things. Is South Bend as beautiful
as it might be with a little wetl
placed effort by property owners who
neglect their lawns, trees, parkways,
and backyards ? Since the
began to monopolize so
of the time of the man of the
the home property itself often
dismal by neglect. — South

shii;t are too long, you will find it
easier to shorten them from th<S
shoulder than where the cuffs are
attached. If shortened at the cuffs
it will entail making new placets.
In any case, put just a pleat in them
half-way the sleeve for the first
washing. They might shrink in
laundering enough to save you all
the bother of shortening.
