One of the prettiest home weddings our community has had was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. R.

With all the effort put fotth in cleaning up the camp and providing empty barrels for each family to put empty cans in, it seems some cannot get the idea that "Tin Can Alley" is a thing of the past, or should be. They continue to litter up: the alleys with cans and rubbish, making the premises unsightly and aiding disease germs t0' find a harboring place. With the interest the management has taken in cleaning up around the dwellings and other spots, and spending the company's money in doing so, one would think that the tenants could at least help out by putting their tins in the barrels provided for that purpose instead of making the alleys an unsafe place for children. This complaint does not apply to at least 8 5 percent, of the families living in our camp, but to a few it does apply and these few, for the benefit of their own health if not for others, should be more careful.
