Following Spring Cleaning
At this time each year it is regretted
that after cleaning up accumulated
rubbish and tin cans, some of our cit-
izens drive to the country roads and
throw same in a heap on the roadside
or under the lovely shade trees—Not
only marring the beauty of our coun-
try roads, but making it difficult for
those who later in the season out
weeds. Anything which can be sal-
vaged is urgently needed — the rest
should be burned or taken farther from
our roadways.
