Clean-Up Time Is Here Spring Clean-Up Week is 50 years old this year. From Cincinnati, where the first official Clean-Up Week was proclaimed in 1913, the campaign has spread across the nation and now is observed in thousands of communities by millions of people. But it was not a city proclamation that truly started clean-up week. It was a 50-cent dress, a gift from a sympathetic schoolteacher to a little girl from the slums of Cleveland. That dress transformed an entire neighborhood. It was in 1909 that Bertha Chapman, the teacher, bought a dress for one of her students, Scrubbed clean and wearing her new dress, the child went home, to be greeted in silence by her parents. That night the mother found a clean cloth for the dinner table. Her father began to clean up the yard and fix the house. The neighbors, not to be outdone, also cleaned and repaired their homes. Spurred by a local minister, city officials gave the block their support, and realizing the value of such campaigns, instituted clean-up drives, in other areas to help eliminate health and fire hazards. Then Cincinnati, hearing about the successful neighborhood campaigns, made clean-up week a citywide project. It is impossible to tell precisely how many dividends that 50-cent “investment” has paid over the years. But certainly it has snowballed into a substantial saving of lives and property. The National Board of Fire Underwriters says there are about 800 home fires a day — more than one every two minutes in the United States,, and many of these are begun by faulty wiring or feed on rubbish in attics and basements. Without the annual clean-up drives that spur repairs of faulty wiring and the removal of trash this appalling figure would undoubtedly soar even higher. Is the work of a home clean-up campaign worth while? These figures show the need: Last year, 11,800 persons — many of them young children — lost their lives in fires, and property losses rose to an all-time high of $1,265,002,000. This was the sixth year in a row that losses exceeded the $1 billion mark, with the losses for the sixyear period totaling almost $7 billion. Such a figure almost defies comprehension, for example, if you wanted to count it out at a dollar a second, it would take 222 years of non-stop counting to reach 7 billion.
