They will be found at the following locations: Southeast corner of Central Ave. and St. Johns, in front of Gsell‘s drug store; between the North Shore station and the bank (usuâ€" ally aâ€"most untidy area); on the east platform of the Northwestern station (cleanâ€"up officials wish commuters would put old papers, cigarette butts, and so on, in these Those are the words of tall, perâ€" sonable Andrew Beck, the man charged with the important responâ€" sibility of keeping our town clean. And his words are packed with caution. We must keep our streets clean ; if we don‘t we‘ll be as bad off as Chicago. land Parkers are getting more careless about . tossing rubbish wherever they want to; and our streets reflect this laxity. : SWEEP STREETS NIGHTLY ... Mr. Beck told us that before the war streets were washed once or twice a week and they kept comâ€" paratively clean. "Now," Mr. Beck declares, "our men are out sweeping the streets between midnight and 4 a.m. six nights a week. So far this fall we have had two men working eight hours a day just hauling away the dirt the sweeper has picked. up. But .even so, 24 hours after we have cleaned, bags, papers, brokâ€" en bottles and other trash litter Highland Park streets. NAMES WORST STREETS ... CAMPAIGN STARTS TODAY . . . Starting today, Highland Park‘s hardâ€"working street departmentâ€" with the cooperation of the poâ€" lice, park board and certain civicâ€" minded citizens who wish to reâ€" main anonymous â€" will put forth an even greater effort to cleanâ€"up the dirty downtown streets of our city. â€" The writer thinks this is a splenâ€" did idea and is willing to cooperate fully with these persons. We spent last Saturday morning with Mr. Beck and learned that the first outward signs that the new cleanup drive is in action are the six green trash cans placed at voints where trash is at an allâ€"time USE THESE CANS, CITIZENS! ... The big, goodâ€"looking e@ns); and one each in front of Larson‘s stationery store, near the post office, and at Dick Tracy‘s. "I have worked for Highland Park‘s Street Department for 17 years. 1 have been superintendent of streets for the last three years. YNet, during all this time, I have never seen the streets looking dirtier. Highland Parkers must keep their streets and parkways clean and orderly if this town is to hold its reputation of being one of the most beautiful suburbs in the United States!" According to Mr. Beck, the streets requiring the most sweepâ€" ing are those between Green Bay road and the Alcyon theater; Lauâ€" rel avenue to Elm place; streets east of Ravinia park. Mr. Beck explained that concrete streets look the cleanest; but he pointed out that the majority of roadways in our town are macadâ€" According to Mr. Beck, Highâ€" W HITT N.

We learned that five street deâ€" partment _ fullâ€"time workers â€" James Sheahen, Frank Dalla Valle, John Orsi, Earl Genest, and Herâ€" man Newman â€" are needed to keep the streets in good repair. These men must maintain the streets, sidewalks, parkways, storm sewers, _ manholes, catch basins, bridges (there are over 25 in Highâ€" land Park?), and. ornamental street lights. In addition, these workers cut weeds, .remove dead and dangerous trees (100 were reâ€" moved last year), and plow the show in the winter (z terrific job, by the way). Mr. Beck reports that it costs the taxpayers _ approximately $5,000 each year just to keep the streets clean. â€" 2.. Merchants must not sweep debris from their stére onto the streets. _ Keep trash from your stores in containers that have tops which stay on securely. 5. Drivers of garbage, delivery and newspaper trucks should make certain that rubbish does not blow from their vehicles. (It does regâ€" ularly!) â€" If these trucks drop rubâ€" bish, ‘drivers should pick it up at But it‘lll cost even more if we keep being so careless â€" and that applies to the writer as much as it does to you. Too many times in the past we‘ve tossed paper to the street. A model plane club is now being organized at Highland Park Comâ€" munity center for all _ Highland WHAT WE CAN, MUST DO .. . Knowing that Highland Parkers always go to bat and score homeâ€" runs for worthy causes, we asked Beck his recommendations for keeping the town orderly. | Here are his specific requests: 1. . When you‘re uptown, and you have trash you want to get rid of, put that trash into the trash cans; why not use them? 3. Rather than use. alleys as rubbish headquarters â€" and we have been! â€" keep your trash in your yards until the street departâ€" ment can move it. 6. In short, be as particularly about _ your <streets, Highland Parkers, as you are about your lawns and this town will remain beautiful. Okay, Mr. Beck! We‘ll comply. Scout Age Boys Plan Model Plane Club 4. Use your garbage cans. Buy more if you need them. But we‘ll pay any reader a dolâ€" lar if he catches us throwing any more trash on our streets! Tel. H.
