SATTLER Funeral Home Wornans Club Problem of City Are people driving through Plattsmouth impressed with our natural beauty or are they im pressed unfavorably by litter on our highways and streets? That was the question put to those attending the meeting on Mon day evening of the Plattsmouth Womans Club at the home of Mrs. Fred Lugsch. The group also learned there is now a law, introduced at the last session of Nebraska legis lature, providing a penalty up to $100 for throwing rubbish on our highways. Mrs. John Carmack read on to topic, "Keep Nebraska Beau tifulbeginning with the home town ," and cited examples of what is being done in other sta tes and communities looking to ward beautification of surroun ings, She said we spend $30, 000 each year to keep our high ways, in Nebraska clean. This litter is also a fire and safety hazard and a health menace. The campaign against litter- bugs, Mrs. Carmack stated, is a matter of education and teach ing citizens good manners. Edu cation and law enforcement are the most effective weapons in beating the highway litter prob lem. In eight of our 48 states which have anti-litter laws "put ting real teeth' In those laws has brought a noticeable reduc tion of highway litter and the $15 to $50 per mile cost of clean, ing it up. Said Mrs. Carmack, "If you can make people see they cost themselves money by throwing litter they generally stop it.' She quoted from an article writ ten by Margaret Hickey, stating, "The litterbug is pecularily A merican. You do not find this careless trail in other countries, due in large measure to the wrapping and packing of Amer ican goods. Most other countries do not package their products as extravagently." Ways to cor rect the litter habit were con densed as follows: 1. Personally dispose of trash in proper receptacles WHERE EVER WE ARE. 2. Organize groups men and women, girls and boys get everyone interest ed in a clean up project. 3. Clean up the streets in the home town place a receptacle on every corner if need be. Don't even drop a gum wrapper on the side walk. 4. Carry a Litterbag in for our own children and urge schools to take time to discuss this problem. They can start with the school grounds itself srnd woilc'from there. 6. Urge your friends to join this fight against litter. 7. See that the law is ENFORCED. ' Mrs. Egenberger closed the program by quoting from a let ter received from Mrs. P. E. Peterman NFWC Keep Nebras ka Beautiful Chairman "Com munities can be Slothful, slovenly-sleepy or progressive, Beau tiful and Free. Don't be a litter bug." Keep Plattsmouth and Ne braska beautiful.
