Most American communi ties make an annual effort to clean up after each winter, to re-stimulate civic pride and to present a "smiling face" on the arrival of spring. Monday evening, March 12, the City Beautification and Improvement Committee of the Chamber of Commerce held a planning meeting for this spring's campaign. Chair man Father Kenneth Miller, Marshal Lovgren., Ed Gonty and Gene Pierce along with interested citizens Robert Lowe, Paul Sumner and Mark Lovgren worked at planning " the means of achieving civic beautification and improve ment. They agreed that citizen attitude and community de sire for a good clean up are the .most important and most necessary elements in a successful campaign. Preliminary discussion fo cused on five areas needing considerable work: the first, the gravel problem left after the winter storms ; the second, the extreme amounts of as sorted litter; the third, a need to burn large areas where weeds are already a fire hazard; the fourth, the need to remove limbs, debris, weeds and litter from private and public property, and fifth, the need to eliminate graffiti from all buildings. The weekend of March 30, 31 and April 1 has been designat ed for the climax of the campaign and the achieve ment of the goal to have a cleaner, more attractive and safer community. Each civic, fraternal and political group will be contacted by the members of the committee and asked to cooperate in the campaign. It is hoped that the city may be divided into specific areas and that groups of perhaps six to, eight persons will be committed to each area's clean up and then, if possible, to its continued inspection and upkeep. One man has already volun teered to clean up the rubbish from the site of the Heppner Elementary School out to the city limit along Hinton Creek nipph, MM 1979 Morrow County EO 1979 yf k -m ;4, M '79 Saturday, il .'.it March 17 Dancing 9-1 Fairground Pavilion HEPPNER $2.50 per pinon admission '4. 1; I 1979 Fair & Rodeo Court Queen Debra Palmer Princen Jennifer Wenholz Princess Lorl Edwards Head down to Heppner and dance to the rock and roll of 1979 Morrow County FAIR I RODEO August August 11-22 24-25-26 This Menage Sponsored By F i jMh. wmm wm jm. tm m fP J uuuwinfwxju s&wmifw nnn j MY I Road. A member of the committee has volunteered to clean the walk and adjacent area from the Public Library over the foot bridge to the Junior High School. Another member of the planning group will be contacting the school administration and staff ask ing to have efforts made to stimulate student cooperation and to promote more civic pride among the young people. The committee looks for ward to support from the mayor and City Council in this spring endeavor. It is hoped that trucks will be available, along with drivers, to help carry the public-area trash and litter collections away; but not to assume the responsibility for the removal of household trash which each family will want to be removing as it works along with its own cleaning of its premises.
