CIVIC CLEAN-UP

Now is the time for outdoor spring cleaning, when yards, lawns and gardens, if they are tolook their best during the summer months, must be attended to. Many citizens are already active in this directors. and are thereby contributing, not only to the better appearance of ‘their own properties. but of the cYty generally. No particular dates have been set apart for this work, but it might not be a bad idea if Charlottetown folbwed the example of larger centres and but on an in-

On the opening day there will be a clean-up parade of floats depicting model homes and gardens, etc. Arrangements have been made to distrbute posters, window cards, and display; as well as 50,000 “crusade cards" for householders, (the latter to be cir- culated by the Boy Scouts) all with
