Clean - Up Week
Started as the
Result of Gift
Clean-up is catehing
The story of how Clean-Up
Week began is ample proof of that.
The year was 1909. A young
teacher in a poor district school
in Cleveland had taken a special
fancy to one ragged little girl in
her class. One day, on impulse,
she bought a little blue pinafore
and gave it to the child. She
washed the youngstef’s grimy face
and combed the unkempt hair —
and it was a clean, pretty little
girl who skipped home that
afternoon.
She was out of place in the
slum where her family lived as a
firefly in a cobweb. That night,
in amazement, she fingered ithe
clean cloth that her mother had
put on the table in honor of the
occasion.
Her father was not to be out
done. Soon the sagging pickets in
their fence stood straight again;
flowers were planted in the drab
yard.
By contrast, the neighbors’
homes looked worse than ever —
and since few can resist keeping
up with the Joneses, wives
prodded husbands into action. Be
fore long, the entire slum had be
come an attractive, respectable
part of town.
Nearby communities heard the
story and followed suit. In 1913,
Cincinnati held the first city-wide
clean-up drive, a week-long cam
paign led by ' civic groups and
school children. Today, according
to the National Board of Fire Un
derwriters, Clean-Up Week has
spread to some 10,000 cities and
towns all over the United States.
Each of them has found that a
yearly clean-up makes any com
munity healthier, safer from fire, j
and a more attractive place to live.

Village Plot for Eastern
Europe Refugees Dedicated
To Heroine Anna Frank
WUPPERTAL, Germany, UR —
A Nobel Prize-winning Belgian
priest presided Sunday over
ground-breaking ceremonies for a
refugee village named for Anna
Frank, the young Jewish girl
whose diary became a World War
II classic.
Father Dominique Pire, who
won the international peace prize
last year, called on the audience
to remember the words of the 15
year-old girl’s diary:
“I believe in the inborn kind
ness of a mankind.”
Anna wrote her diary during
the two years she spent hiding
from the Nazis with her family
in an Amsterdam attic. She died
in Bergen-Belsen Concentration
Camp in 1945.
The new village for displaced
persons is to house 20 families
from Eastern Europe who have
been living in camps in Germany.

The Space Age is the inspira
tion for a whole new set of col
lectors’ items. Some hobbyists till
scrapbooks with newspaper and
magazine articles about space
ships of the future. Others cou- v
centrate on pictures of missiles
and missile-launching?;. Stiii oth
ers combine two hobbies and
build scale models of weapons in
the U. S. missile arsenal.
Willy Ley, the nation's fore
most writer on space, missiles
and rockets, has prepared a 32
page booklet telling all about
America’s missile might. Special
ly written for the layman, “Know
the Missiles” gives a clear under
standing of the difference be
tween each type of missile and
how each operates. The booklet
is being distributed by Mono
gram Models, Inc., with its new
Missile Arsenal kit of 31 models.
Did you know that no o..e—•
not even President Eisenhower-—
lias ever seen a display of all the
missiles in the U. S. arsenal?
Such a display would be too cost
ly to arrange and would serve no
useful military purpose. But
model-builders can assemble their
own display of a major part of
the arsenal in miniature because
of the new Monogram kit.
* * ❖
The lie.'. LT. S. Missile Arsenal
kit not only indicates the great
strength of America’s newest de
fense weapon but represents the
biggest collection of models ever
offered to hobbyists in a single
kit. Because of great public in
terest in missiles and the vary
ing degree of skill required to
build each model, the kit is as
popular with adults as v.ilh
younger model-builders.
