Green Thumbers in Summit Prove 01 Rockin' Chair Passe One of the hardest working groups Summit County has seen for some time are the Green Thumbers, that group of retired men who worked last sum -mer Inproving state recreational areas. They began this years work Wednesday by building racks and painting trash containers for placement In Roc kport State Park, where they worked most of last summer painting, cutting weeds, trimming trees and improving the view points around the dam and the recreation areas. Projects for the coming year will also Include continuing improvement in the Roc kport Area and several historic places. Sponsored by the Farmers Union and funded by the Department of Labor, this project not only provides work and extra Income for retired persons, but aids the community and state by taking many off the welfare roles and giving them an Incentive to earn.

To qualify tliey must have an Income of less than $2,000 for a married couple and be over 65. They work three days a week, eight hours a day and are reported by their supervisors to be one of tlie best working groups around. The Summit County men, Perry Howling, Wally Alvin Pace, Irvin Peterson, Ole A. Petersen, Turaliow, Jay & Dawson and Charles Davis, boast the oldest average in the state, running from 69 to 86. Their supervisor commended Ap-po- los amount of work they accomplished during last summers projects. 'The work they have done Is complimentary to the county and to the state, Mr. Barrow said.
