We have heard some store owners wheyhave just about decided against the closing hours as a result of the growing confusion. With the beautiful greenery of early spring, rubbish along our highways rears its ugly head to an even greater extent than during the drab days of winter. We were impressed, inpassing through Richmond the other day, to find in the midst of the shopping center, directly in view of passing traffic, a huge wire container which was packed to overflowing with an assortment of trash. A large sign attached to it read: " This trash was collected along one mile of Rt. 31 by Cub Scout pack. Is any of it yours? Charley Brown says, 'Good Grief"'. We can't think of a better place to start making an impression on the public concerning the cost in beauty and money of being a litterbug. If those of us above the Cub Scout age are not embarrassed by every small bit we have contributed to the debris, then ifs time some "teeth" were put into the law intended to protect us from our own apparent disregard for the landscape surrounding us.
