Citizens Asked to Finish Clean Up by Apr. 20, City to Haul Trash "April 20 should find Pleas-ant Grove clean and spruced up," according to Mayor Paul T. Fordham. Citizens are asked to use the remainder of the Cleanup Drive time (April 6 to 20), to finish up their spring cleaning and get their lots in shape. The Mayor said Wednesday that to assist citizens in get-ting rid of trash, without burn-ing, the city garbage truck would haul trash away, pro-vided it is bundled, tied or box-ed, so that it can be loaded without trouble on the city gar-bage truck. Pickup will be made with the regular garbage runs. Residents of the city are urged to take advantage of this service until April 20. Vacant lots should be looked at and given a cleanup also, the Mayor warned. If necessary the city has the authority to step in and clean up unsightly lots and charge residents for this cost. "I am sure no resi-dent of Pleasant Grove wants this to happen," the Mayor said and urged cleanup by owners of property. Pleasant Grove is a good place to live, and we should take enough civic pride in our city to want it to be the best looking city in the state. Let's all cooperate, and get cleaned up by April 20.

HILTON industry and public relations Robert Hilton New Employee at Bank of Pi. Grove Kay L. Jacobs, executive vice president of Bank of Pleasant Grove, has announced the ap-pointment of Robert J. Hilton to the officer staff of the bank. Mr. Hilton's primary responsi-bilities will be business devel-opment and public relations, with special emphasis to make initial contact with industry and new commercial enterprises in the market served by the bank. Mr. Hilton is a native of Pleasant Grove, and has had a wealth of experience in the bus-iness and sales fields. He has been an agency manager for Metropolitan Life Insurance for the past five years. With his experience and knowledge of the people and the immediate market area, he anticipates great success in selling the many services of the Bank of Pleasant Grove. Concerning his new position, Mr. Hilton stated, "It will be our goal to better acquaint, not only commercial accounts, but also individual bank customers, with all the services we offer. Most customers realize and util-ize only a few of these services, and thus do not gain full ad-vantage offered in conducting all their financial business with one institution.

IpTSttle CreekE ,1 jQr In just three days after the publication of this message, Easter morning will dawn upon a world torn with strife, hatred, jealousy, selfishness and civil and social upheaval. The man, whose life we extol and whose resurrection we cele-brate every Eastertide, was the very antithesis of all of these abhorrent activities; which will unless curbed, destroy not only civilization, but the world, it-self. According to the Gospel of St. John, the last words spoken by Jesus, before He returned to the Father after the resurrec-tion, were these, "Follow thou me." Vividly revealed in these simple words are the life and ministry of the Christ and the basic philosophy of the Chris-tian religion. "Whosoever th me shall not walk in darkness; but shall have the light of life," He once said. The life of Jesus was so ex-emplary and his teachings were so just and true, that anyone who lived as He lived and did as He said, would have ap-proached very nearly the per-fect way of existence. The modern Christian father, who can truthfully say to his children, "Follow thou me," has not strayed very far from the straight and narrow path. How different is the parent who says, "Do as I say," and then to himself, "I hope you will never know what I do." Politicians, who accept mone-tary bribes and vote for the ex-pedient thing, rather than for the thing that is right, could hardly be expected to say, "Follow thou me." Even hardened gangsters are now living in high class neigh-borhoods and assuming the role of respectability, because they are ashamed to let their fam-ilies know of their miserable activities. Certainly the followers of Dr. Martin Luther King, who were "mourning" his tragic assassin-ation by killing, looting and burning, had forgotten his of-ten repeated admonition: "Fol-low me in demonstrations of civil protest by And so it goes throughout the world. Millions profess decen-cy, morality and even Chris-tianity; but how many actually live it, when money, power and expediency are concerned. If the Easter season does nothing else, except to turn the searching light of is upon ourselves, it will serve a wonderful purpose. The simple philosophy that, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you; do ye even so unto them," is all we need to turn a world of turmoil into an actual paradise. The "Second Coming of the Christ," for which all Chris-tians pray, is a long way off. When Jesus was here, He told us what to do; but to date we haven't seen fit to do much about it. Humanity is yearning for the leadership of those in positions of power and trust to say with all truthfulness and sincerity, "Follow thou me." So long 'til Thursday. n' fJ) fJ ;v 7;v v tog, jcl Az ' j, WIN TROPHIES Tracy Kirk, center, Sixth Ward, Ricky Phillips, left, Third Ward and Sam Robinson, right, Fourth W7ard show off trophies won by teams in Explorers Bowling.
