Washington, Sept. S.-News Letter Number 293. issued by the Commercial Organization Department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, addressed to Secretaries of Chambers of Commerce and other commercial organizations, under the heading of "Clean Up and Paint Up" says:

"The Clean Up and Paint Up Campaigns waged annually by many chambers of commerce take on a specific significance this year when considered in connection with the effort of the National Business Survey Conference to encourage within prudent limitations all types of betterment, clean-up, re-equipment and remodeling and modernizing of industrial, commercial and residential buildings.

"Mr. Julius H. Barnes, Chairman of the National Business Survey Conference, recently wrote a letter to the Exetutive Secretary of the National Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign Bureau, 310 East 45th Street, New York City, in which he called attention to the importance of clean-up work as a substantial contribution to the program undertaken by organized business, at the reqrrest of President Hoover, to restore the country to a normal level of prosperity.

"In preparing for this type of work in 1930, therefore. secretaries may appropriately have in view the double objective of improving their own communities, and making an appropriate contribution to the national speed-up movel ment. Those interested in such campaigns can secure valuable information and assistance from the National Bureau, at the address mentioned above."

The National Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign in Nerv York is cooperating rvith the Chamber of Commerce of the United States by furnishing the necessary plans and sug- gestions.
