Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 311, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 January 1918 — On “Cleaning Up.” [ARTICLE]

On “Cleaning Up.”

Let’s all appoint ourselves as a committee of one to help keep the clean and healthy and let’s make a good start iy cleaning up our own premises, urges the Lake Charles, (La.) American Press. In other words, be consistent, let’s all practice exactly what we preach. If every person will do this, we shall have one of the healthiest cities in the country. In no other way can this much-to-be-desired condition be obtained. By waiting for the other fellow to start first, nobody sYarts, and we just go along in a perfunctory way from day to day and year to year. Lake Charles is already healthy and Clean, but nobody will deny that the city could be made a whole lot healthier and cleaner, and the way to do it is for everybody to clean up their own premises and keep them clean, dnd this applies especially to the back yards and alleys where tin cans, empty boxes, discarded this and that accumulate from time to time.
