These are "Pick Up and Clean Up Days" in Whiting, as Mayor B. Parks has issued his annual proclamation, proclaiming April 15-27 as the days that back yards and alleys must be cleaned up in this city. The citizens have apparently taken heed, as during the short spell of warm weather everywhere could be seen people cleaning out back yards, raking lawns and trimming trees. The city teams are being kept busy hauling away the rubbish in the alleys. Steve Senchak, who was so badly injured in a runaway about two weeks ago. Is able to be out again. Eugene Putnam, who is at the Pres byterian hospital, in Chicago, suffering with typhoid fever, is getting along satisfactorily. His fever has now gone, and "Gene" is on a heavy diet.
