Some feeder and packer groups
have supported the belief that fed

OF course, it didn't happen over night
But the important thing is that it did hap
pen.
Every community should take a good
look at itself, jOt down some constructive
criticism, and then go about making itself
more attractive.
1t might require a checklist, or balance
sheet. For example, how many buildings
can be found that are in need of repair or
paint? Are they occupied or vacant? Does
the occupant own the building?
How many absentee landlords are there
who've been holding onto rundown prop
erty for years because it makes good tax
deduction? Can they be contacted, and will
they sell? How much would it cost to i'm
prove the property?
Are there vacant store windows which
could be used to display the handiwork Of
youth organizations? Owners of vacant
store buildings are usually only too glad for
washing the windows or cleaning up the
building bit.
How long has it been since there was a
general cleanup of streets and alleys and
