Early Organization of Forces will Secure
Effective Results.
It is not too early for the health departments of our municipalities to
prepare for their spring clean-up day. The snow is gone, exposing to view the
accumulated refuse of the winter months. In Canada we are favored with a
covering mantle of snow during several months, and, as a consequence, are in-
clined to be somewhat careless of sanitary conditions. With the coming of
warmer weather this neglect becomes a source of great danger and unless prompt
action is taken, may give rise to serious epidemics, "
The Municipal' Council and Boards of Health should initiate without de-
lay plans for a general spring dean -up. Generous appropriations should be
made for the purpose and a thorough organization developed for the removal of
refuse.
The local pride of the people should be appealed to on behalf of a clean
hone—an appeal rarely made in vain. In many of our towns and cities there
are organizations interested in public questions, only requiring initiative to
secure effective action. The beautifying of their home town should be made an
incentive for energetic effort, thus increasing their interest and enthusiasm for
the place called "Home."
