the Council that an Improvement
will be noted in the Territory

The project may be anything
on roadside Identification, such
as cleaning of roadsides, improv-
ing roadside parks, installing
trash cans (making arrangements
for them to be emptied periods
cally), planting flowers, trees or
shrubs, or any project that tends
to Keep Alaska Clean and
Green. The club does not neces-
sarily have to do the work, but
may finance it or perhaps hold
a contest within their club for
a youth group, as it is the finish
ed product the committee is in
terested in. In addition to COM
plete' description of the work &C

A letter campaign to soft drink
and beer firms requesting that
they furnish "Literbags" with

'literbag', which has had nation
al acclaim, is a heavy paper bag
to be used in automobiles to keep

ulated on a trip which can be
placed in garbage can upon re-

committee that Homemaker Clubs
