MTS OUT BENEFITS
OF GEEAN-RPCAMIMIGN
Austin, Tex., March 30.—
Governor Coke R. Stevenson
has named . April 4 to 10
Health and Clean-Up Week
by official proclamation, and
expressing his appreciation
for this act, Dr. Geo. W: Cox,
State' Health Officer, declared
today, “The old adage that
‘cleanliness is next to Godli-
ness’ from the practical stand-
point is well worth emphasiz-
ing.”
Cities and towns in Texas
will observe this week by con-
ducting clean-up programs of
far-reaching range. Scheduled
to be included in their activi-
ties are . cleaning, draining,
graveling streets and alleys,
cleaning parks and play-
grounds and clearing off va-
cant lots.
“Destruction of mosquito
breeding places and fire haz-
ards, and the proper disposal
of garbage and trash will be
encouraged,•» Dr. Cox said, “as
well as a thorough spring
house-cleaning for cities and
homes. Good housekeeping
and ordinary sanitary meas-
ures demand the prompt re-
moval of all waste matter in
and around yards and homes
in order to keep the premises
clean. This will eliminate fire
hazards and help to prevent
the spread of many diseases,
arid no doubt ranch scrap-ma-
terial will be collected which
will aid in our war effort.”
Dr. Cox urged that all Tex-
ans cooperate in making
Health and Clean-Up Week a
complete success since its
worthwhile objective is to
lessen needless losses by fire
and help maintain the highest
possible health level in this
State.
