Clean Up'IIjteek Tomorrow is the first day of ".Clean Up" week,'when'the reeve and'council ask our residents to devote. their energies, particularly to a general clean up of'their properties. The time is propitious i for this work, for spring chas 'come early ~ithis year. and the sun is beginning to show up the desolation '" wrought iin iour gardens by the fall rains and,the winter frosts. Last year's grass, dead and brown, clothes the lawns, and the skeletons of shrubs and plants litter. our flower beds. Our summer visitors are already beginning to arrive, andri newcomers are going, round ',the'.district looking for homes in ivhich to settle. Incidentally the condition in which a prop- erty is kept has a very important bearing on its sale or rental. A'house in need of a coat of paint is always more diffcult to sell or rent even if the grounds are in good shape, just as the i'rental or sale of a well kept house is adversely affectedlby grounds that have been allowed to run. wild. West Vancouver I is justly celebrated for, its gardens and our residents, generally speaking, are early on their. grounds getting them in shape for, the summer. "So far as the stores are concerned," too, the windows are tastefully decorated at all- seasons of the year, and the slovenliness both of buildings and ,window displays sometimes seen elsewhere has always been ,,markedly absent in West Vancouver. And this is much more I, important than at first appears, for a place is always~largely judged by its stores. At the same time the idea sponsored t by the 'eeve'and . council'of having a "Cleani Up" ~week is a good one, as the desirability of so doing is thus brought home to every, individ= ual with the l.esult, it is hoped,'f inducing a certain uniform- I" ity of action. 'Let us all do our bit, therefore, NOW, in order, that strang- ers and I homeseekers may tfind ) our ibeautiful l locality "swept and garnished," and so may,be the more anxious:to settle in" our midst.
