WALSH, City Clerk HARDEST BUSIEST CHEAPEST WORKERS IN TOWN PLAINDEALER WANT ADS ANNUAL PARADE OF "LITTEHBIIGS" SOON RESUMED With the annual parade of litte i bugs" about to be resumed in Illinois state parks and conservation areas. Director Glen D. Calmer of the Department of Conservation has announced that the department is launching an education program to help beautify Illinois. "The department is anxious to cooperate with civic organizations all over the state,". Director Palmer declared, "in a movement to prevent litter from spoiling the natural, beauty of our landscape and actually endangering the health and safety of the people." Not only is litter unsightly and a menace, th,e conservation leader explained, but also it is costly. Extra help statistics for the Division of Parks and Memorials reVeal that "payrolls are just about doubled during the summer rush to the parks. Much of this increase, parks officials declare, is caused by the necessity of hiring cleanup squads in all of the larger areas. In addition, equipment costs mount because of the extra use of trucks and other equipment. Robert G. Miley, superintendent of Par^s and Memorials, said that "a majority of the parks guests do deposit their refuse from picnics in containers provided for their use in every area. But there are those," he added, "who either don't care or, iii some .cases,- deliberately scatter papers, garbage and other debris about their tables." Typjcal of conditions is this report from Terrence S. Martin, custodian of Starved Rock State Park near Oglesby, which, annually attracts the largest number of visitors of any state park: "On week"4 days, from 8 a.m._ to noon we use two men in the lower area and one in the upper area to pick up papers, throw away beer bottles and tin cans. In addition, two men in a truck haul the refuse away. "On Saturdays, a general cleanup is made throughout the park -- two men- picking up and two men hauling. "On Sunday and Monday, cleaning and hauling is a continuous project. On holidays, two trucks are kept busy hauling as three men pick up the refuse. "Our biggest, headaches are from people throwing garbage and bottles along roadways from their car windows. Broken bottles are p major source of trouble. Every piece of glass must be picked up to insure the safety of other visitors^ "In addition to the Starved Rock area proper, two picnic areas on the east end of the property are maintained by an additional man. The condition of these more or less isolated areas is deplorable." Classified Ads bring results. Place yours with the Plaindealer SUN»AT W.
