Groups were given designated spots in the village to clean up and with rakes and garbage bags .in hand tackled this com- munity project. Floyd Milne assisted in picking up the many bags of refuse collected by the volunteers. Two business ladies were even spotted shovelling clean one corner of the main street where a truck has obviously lost some its contents. Now that this job is completed, wouldn't it be great to see all those litter bugs con- tribute to keeping it that way? Garbage pails were meant to be used -not looked at !
