Boys Are Working Earnestly to Earn
Prizes Offered By the Civ
ic League.
The"boy cleanuup squads” worked
all day yesterday and today and al
ready have made the tin cans and dirt
scarce on the vacant lots about the
city. The boys are working for the
prizes offered by the Valdez Civic
League for the biggest piles of dirt
that any of the squads could gather,
and at 7 o’clock yesterday morning,
all through the rainy day the boys
toiled at gathering up the piles of
dirt that had been left by careless
tenants upon vacant lots or about un
occupied buuildings.
The city authorities have agreed to
haul away the dirt collected by the
youngsters, but they little expected
the magnitude of the task they have
undertaken. Sixteen boys working
16 hours a day for ten days will
gather considerable dirt, so the street
committee will have to be prepared
to hire a large number of teams.
Mrs. Sam Blum, in charge of the
contest for the Civic League, has
been kept busy answering questions
asked by the boys and arranging the
details of the contest.
The squads are composed of hon
orable little chaps who refuse to
touch dirt gathered by opponents or
steal from one another after it has
been gathered.
Mrs. Blum has also announced that
if the present heavy rains continue
the time limit will be extended so
that the lads need not work in the
rain. So insistant are they and so
determined to win the prize that they
woorked all of yesterday and today
in the heavy rains.
