We urge YOU to lmpress upon your children how much nicer the town will look if instead of dropping their litter on the street or sîdewalk they place it in the receptacles- provîded. All adults should take note and set a good example for the younger citizens to follow. BLOOD - Dan't forget the Red Cross Blood Donar Clinic next Wednesday at the Lions Centre.

They hope some of the merchants will agree to show the posters in their windows when the con- test is over.
