Weeks Farmville
Clean Up Effort
Opened Today
Mayor Asks Full
Cooperation OF
Property Owners

Mayor w. c. Fitzpatrick has
called on Farmville citizens to
devote this week to home and
business spring cleanup efforts.
Town Manager L. z. Johnston
will put town Workmen and equip
men behind the Week-long effort,
he said.
Today, town trucks started
rounds of the town in a trash
collection schedule that will be
conducted continuously until Sat-
urday when the campaign official
~ ends.
1t is the hope of Mayor Fitz-
patrick and other town officials
that property owners will make a
concentrated effort to get nd of
accumulated trash and debris.
which will be carted off by town
trucks as long as it appears.
Outside Premises
A cleanup of outside premises
is also called for, both on the
part Of home Owners and down
town business property owners.
Alleys, back lots. fence lines
should be cleared of debris. waste
paper and other accumulations of
the year, Mayor Fitzpatrick said.
In the last two years. duri'.g
which similar campaigns have
been asked, townspeople cooper
ated and trucks hauled off tons of
debris. Town Manager Johnston
reminded today that this week
again is the time to make use of
the extra service.
He cautioned. however. against
putting too much of an obstacle
in the way of town trucks. Only
debris that can be easily handled
and transported by worknen can
be removed, he said Trees and
large branches are in this cate
CORY. he said.
Extra Asked
Town officials expressed hope
that property owners will go a
little extra in their efforts to
make downtown premises, partici-
larly outside and at back. more
attractive and cleaner.
The view that the effort not
only seeks cleanliness. but when
completed. offers a much more
attractive town to tourists and
visitors. was also behind the de-
cislon of town officials to call for
the campaign.
Persons who are missed by the
trucks for any reason may re-
quest such service by calling the
town Office, number go, the man
ager states.
Trucks and equipment, includ-
ing street sweeping which will be
accelerated. will revert to normal
schedule after Saturday. Mr..
Johnston said debris for collec-
ton in residential areas should
be placed in grass plots between
sidewalk and curb. or where it
can easily be spotted from trucks.

Harpers Ferry Park
by The Associated Press

HAGERSTOWN, Mar. IL
The will is established: now
they're looking for the way to
establish the two-State Harpers
Ferry National Monument.
The National Park Service Is
going ahead with planS-tl1e kind
that don't cost any money. In
the meantime, deeds for almost
all Of the land on the West
Virginia side Of the river have
been transferred to the Federal
Government.
There's only one drawback.
The National Parks Service
budget for the fiscal year be-
ginning next July has no pro-
vision for the new park. And
acquisition Of land on the Mary
land side has been a slow process.
The superintendent Of the
Gettysburg National Military
Park, DR.. j. Walter Coleman, has
jurisdiction over the new project.
He believes the cost for initial
work on the park will be small.
Although no starting date has
been set for establishment Of the
park, DR.. Coleman has limited
that work could begin in West
Virginia before negotiations for
land are completed In Maryland.
The park eventually win include
more than 1000 acres Of land.
