They have bad special posters printed and have been publishing advertisements trying to persuade people to keep the town clean er and use the refuse1 containers along King Street. On Tuesday, the Editor noticed a crumpled piece of paper on bis front lawn and being curious and even neat at times, strolled over to pick it up. It was one of the anti-litter posters!
