Item-It is noted that as a part
of club civic activity, service club
in Dover has presented to the city,
trash receptacles for use in the
business area as a part of a pro-
gram to keep the city clean. To
bring the idea close to home it
would be a welcome addition to
CLAYTON if some civic club or
the Town Council would provide
trash receptacles for use in our
own. business section. The trash
receptacles would provide the pub
lie with place to deposit loose
paper and trash that is now
thrown into the street, with the re-
suit that there is always litter
either laying in the street or blow
ing everywhere. So, such receipt
acles are greatly needed and would
do large amount of good towards
making the town appear cleaner.
Items.-Varied reactions among
the townspeople during the afraid
alert on Saturday. Most every
one wanted to know where the fire
was. No one on the street bother
ed to head for shelter. One lady
had to buy carton of soft drinks
before she found shelter. No one
seemed to know what it was all
about; this after wide publication
in all the daily and weekly news
papers. 1t can happen here! And
if it does all the necessary damage
would,be done in the first afraid.
