ANOTHER CLEAN UP

Another general clean-up of backyards and lumber rooms and basements will form part of the programme for the 1923 Health Week in October, an important part, too, for even though it was not an easy matter last year to interest all citizens in the "theory" of the week, scarcely a householder in a city street failed to gather up from house or section more rubbish than he ever thought he had about. It may be that sections were given such a thorough sweep-up last year that there is littlo to be cleaned up this, but that is probably an optimistic view,, for rubbish grows, particularly round a house, where nothing else is grown. Even in such apparently straight-ahead work as rubbish collection, a good deal of organisation is required, and though it was not always found possible last year to deal with streets and blocks strictly to time, as set out in the clean-up time-table, the experience then gained will make for thorough organisation this year. The clean up is, of course, only one item of the week's programme, and a public meeting is to be held in the Town Hall buildings on Friday evening to go fully into all preliminary work, and the setting up of working committees.
