the ball rolling in the Spring
Clean-Up W eek campaign, and
we hope the dirt, rubbish and tin

All and sundry will take up

guests arrive at the end of the

soon to begin, because a fte r the
big jobs are finished, many

our e x tra time.
We can pick up the com busti

and vacant lots, clean street
areas, and have all rubbish re
moved.
A fter these things are done we
might plant a few shrubs or flow
