Students seek to end litter By Steve Dettmer EXETER - October 24, the stu- dents of the Adult Education class along with Mr. McEwan's environ- mental science class went on a picking spree. The picking was not one of pleasure but one of concern and need. It was also one that need not happen if people took a little pride and teaching of our young and themselves. We were picking up garbage that had carelessly been thrown on the ground. We did a complete sweep of South Huron District High, Exet- er Public School, the Recreation Centre, ball park, MacNaughton Park, Elliott Park, as well as Victor- ia Park. In all we gathered well over a dozen bags of garbage and three boxes of recyclables. Why were we doing this? We, Adult Students Against Pollution, A.S.A.P., and the Environmental Science classes have a great con- cern of what is happening to our land and water. Also the A.S.A.P. students wanted to put something positive back into the community as the community is helping us by getting our education. Although the weather was not on our side, we managed to complete the job on hand by meeting our goal. Unfortunately, I went for a walk Saturday morning by the Rec Cen- tre only to find a broken whiskey bottle on the street, and garbage thrown over the parking lot and grounds. I then went to McNaugh- ton Park where more litter was thrown carelessly on the ground and in the river. We have these parks to enjoy and the schools to learn from, but what lessons are learned by these uncar- ing persons? It is up to the parents and the schools to teach our young about safeguarding our environ- ment. Hopefully some will rub off on the adults as well. A.S.A.P. wishes to have a clean town and countryside to enjoy. Hopefvliy our: childraln c have it s too. Thinks wee ? ieducp, litter. If you see garb on the street, don't be afraid to pick it up and put it in the right spot, a refuse container. A little post script. Much of the litter was found only feet away from a garbage can.

After cleaning up glass from the dugout of the hard ball diamond Sunday afternoon we found more broken beer bottles, and another whiskey bottle. A gar- bage can was also knocked over and garbage spread around. It is time to fight this ignorance. If you see someone doing such destructive acts to our community or country- side, report them to the police. This is nothing short of vandalism.
