Show MINERSVILLE CLEAN-UP IS YEAR-ROUND ACTIVITY i I Minersville' s Clean-up Committee doesn't believe in annual clc.n up drives. With them, it's a continuing program and the three leaders of the committee are re-cleaning re-cleaning Main Street sidewalks and other areas which get their first going-over last March. Heading the group are Mrs. Betty Marshall, Mrs. Carla Eyre, and Mrs. Lorraine Myers, and their husbands, hus-bands, but the ladies say it's "like pulling eye teeth "to ! get their husbands, Fay, Dale and Vendon, to do much ' more than give moral support when there's work to be ' done in the fields and on the ranches. ' Since the clean-up drive started last March, the com- mittee has supervised hauling to the town dump more than ' 400 truckloads of rubbish, old trees, trash and junk. They have also been instrumental in demolishing six old houses, including in-cluding some brick and some frame. The frame houses were burned, and the rubbish hauled away. They also hauled 17 unsightly old cars to the dump. Recently they were assisted in beautification planning by reprseentatives of Utah State University, who mapped for them a tree and shrub planting program, and the community plans to start the tree planting in the fall. "Minersville may not win a prize as the most beautiful community in Utah," said Mrs. Betty Marshall, "but we certainly cer-tainly deserve 'A for Effort' for the work we have done, and the work we are going to do. Folks who live in Minersville Miners-ville are proud of their community." |
