Committee work in the interest

constantly instead of in clean-up

curried out in periodical checks by
Dr. Gordon, and state health rep-
resentatives. A state representa-

day and gave them a high rating.
The six-point program for home
owners follows:
1—Clean premises of g£iss and
weeds, remove trash and keep gar-
bage cans in good order.
2—Improve drainage about the
home to eliminate stagnant water
