Letter to Editor Dear John: Have been very glad to hear that you are progressing well and I hope you continue to do so. ! This is a note of appreciation and to provide some public awareness of the fine work the Recycling Group is doing for the Town. I have had a great deal of help from this Group and particularly Mr. Ray Bryson who has picked up about sixty large bags of shredded paper from here that had to be disposed of in a certain way plus much other paper material and there is much more to be done. This Group has certainly provided a fine public service for me and for the Town as well. If people would only take their old newspapers, glass bottles and flattened tins down to the Goodyear Parking Lot Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. it would help reduce the great amounts of garbage we produce but save having to find large tracts of land for garbage disposal and it might even help to keep our taxes down. If a public pickup for recycling is provided I hope everyone will support it. Thank you for printing this letter and a special "Thank You" to Ray Bryson. Yours sincerely, (Mrs. L.)
