SPUING TIME IS CLEANUP TIME
SHOWERS and May flowers arent far away That means
APRIL
spring cleaning time
And spring cleaning shouldnt moan Just shaking out the rugs
washing the curtains and dusting that littleused spare bedroom It
should mean a definite planned program for putting property in
applepie order not only to improve Its value and appearance but
to help prevent that dread destroyer that strikes when we least expect
it fire
Trashfilled outbuildings are perfect incubators for flro from a
carelessly dropped match or cigarette Check over fireplaces and
chimneys from now on such incidental heating units will bo used
more and central systems less As warm sunny days come be especially
careful to keep grass cut and fields clear of debris Never
burn brush when there is a wind and have water handy in case matters
get beyond control
Above all go through the house from eclair to attic on an inclu
sive junkdisposing program Those old newspapers and magazines
youve put carefully away and will never look at again that broken
furniture that belongs to the worst period of design those odds and
ends of gay nineties clothing that jumble of worthless inflammable
knfeknacks in the hall closets Get rid of them all Give them to a
charitable organization or the junkman And youll materially reduce
the chance of a fire hitting your home
A number of progressive communities carry on general spring
cleanups each year as a civic function Parkings are tended and
beuutified fences repaired and old firetraps are torn down Fire departments
and other municipal bureaus cooperate and direct the
drives The result is a more attractive and safer town and a town
whose residents may feel proud of It Every community which doesnt
do that now should think it over and start the idea joing around
It pays dividends in dollars as well as less tangible values

AUSTIN All eyes in Austin
last week end were turned upon
subcommittees of the House
revenue and constitutional amendments
committees which wcic
scheduled to report to the two
committees jointly some kind of
a revenue bill early in the week
The committees have ended weeks
of hearings upon a variety of assorted
tax bills including trans
actions tax sales tax gross re
ceipts tax net Income tax gross
Income tax natural resources tax
use tax and various combina
tions fo all these taxes
Best opinion here was that what
ever taxing action Is taken by the
House will bo in the form of a
constitutional amendment The lib
eral pensions program promulgated
by Gov W Lee ODanicl together
with other social security
needs calls for an additional ex
penditure by the State of somewhere
between 30000000 and
50000000 annually depending
upon just how liberal a pension
policy is finally adopted This
