check points at strategic Iocs that the walkers may rest take refreshment where its available soothe sore feet change socks and shoes and of course have their sponsor sheets checked Registration wilt

have trans portation when needed now we need is more trust on the part of the parents to make it work right Mrs Van Sick said Also to be stressed is an litter campaign which grew out of a swath of paper cups and wrappers left in the wake of last years horde This time walkers are being urged to hang onto their gar bagc at least until hey reach a checkpoint where they can dispose of it A good idea for those who would ike to take it a step further or who think they may bored along the routs would be to take a few garbage bags and a picker stick No doubt there 11 be enough careless tjpes
