4-Phase Clean-Up
Drive Nears Start
16—(Spl)—
Ihop are an-

ger of the h
F commerce.
Four phases of Abilene's spring
clean-up, scheduled to start Mon-
day and continue through March
31, were stressed Saturday by Mrs.
Sam Kennedy, beautification chair-
man of the City Federation of
Women's Clubs. They are: “paint
up," “clean up," “plant up," and
“fix up.”
The drive is sponsored by the
Garden club and chamber of com-
Amerce under general direction of
Abilene club women should
clean up their home premises
now in preparation for the
Sixth District convention of
Texas Federation of Women's
Club, scheduled here April 3,
4 and 5, said Mrs. W. K. More-
land. president of the Abilene
federation.
Mrs. 0. P. Thrane. Federated
a clubs are furnishing members of
Sher committee.
Persons who have vacant
lots should drive by and look
them over, Mrs. Kennedy de-
clared.
“They might be surprised at the
unsightly appearance of their
property,” she said. “If it is found
that some one has thrown hedge
trimmings or trash on the lots,
out.
An unsightly place that is per-
manent ought to be hidden by an
evergreen vine; honeysuckle, for
instance, Mrs. Kennedy urged.

She reminded residents that
now is a good time to plant lawns.
Mrs. Kennedy recommended St.
Augustine grass, which, she ex-
plained, grows equally well in sun
and shade and does not have to be
mowed as often as other grasses.
St. Augustine chokes out weeds,
she added.
To provide beauty for the hot-
test summer days, Mrs. Kennedy
said citizens should set out some
crepe myrtles.
Eye-sores to which she called at-
tention were houses that need
painting, weed-infested lots, dirty
alleys and barren yards without
flowers.

Treading softly. Spring, 1946 arrives! Magnifi-
cently about her is a garland of blossoms, each one
alive with newborn beauty and promise. An excite-
ment, a love for life swells our hearts. There is nothing
in this whole, wide world that gives impetus to
hope and happy expectation as do these first blossoms
of Spring! They're here, America, telling you it's
time to blossom forth—time to dress up—time
to live out the four years of pent up emotion. The
black clouds of war no longer cast a gloom. The sun
shines again this beautiful, glorious-Spring!
