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.
