Clean-Up Week Needed
Here's your chance to get rid of a lot of old
.junk that has been cluttering up your property.
And, it won't cost you anything except a little ef
fort! All next week has been designated Clean-Up
Week In Heppner and the chamber of commerce
has promoted the Idea to help give the city a
face-lifting and to urge some of us slow-movers
to clean up our back yards and get rid of some un
sightly collections of rubbish that aren't doing
anyone any good. All that Is necessary is for each
of us to gather up the junk and pile it on the curb.
Trucks will remove It free of charge Wednesday,
Saturday and Sunday.
Removing an eyesore from a vacant lot or a
back yard should be incentive enough to join In
wholeheartedly in cleaning up our town, but
should that not be enough to spur some of us Into
action, it should be remembered that refuse piles
are one of the most dangerous fire Hazards around
a house and with dry weather coming soon, right
now is tne time to remove such hazards.
Lets all join In to help make our town cleaner
and better looking. We'll bet if we work at It
we can collect twice as much junk in a week as
any other town our size.

Morrow county people than in
