Mrs Packer said she had talked with Pleasant View Stake President Jay Rhees, who suggested she present a list of needed improvements to him The stake president indicated he would then discuss the request for assistance with his bishops at the end of this week.

It set April 26 as the tentative date for Pleasant Views spnng cleanup campaign. Mrs Packer asked if the city could supply the materials to do concrete work outside the restrooms at Shady Lane Park and other beautification projects City recorder Stirl Empey said the city council would have to approve each project individually and only when it knew the costs involved If you can get the people to do the projects, well find a way to get the money, because these projects are so important. I think finding people will be your biggest problem, Cromwell told Mrs Packer.

Each household that does not reply by mail will be contacted by a representative 0 The police, armed a with knowledge of what time a homes timer will turn lights on and off, how long the homes occupants will be gone, and whom to notify in case of problems, will know if something is amiss as they drive by Page said Plain City police keep a surveillance book listing all houses which should be given extra patrol during the residents absences Exchange student hosts needed who will come to their home. This method of getting the information will be much more expensive Getting an accurate count is vital for at least three reasons: the apportionment of Congress, state legislature redistrictmg, and federal and state aid programs depend on the census count.
