Letter To Editor
. Dear Editor: It is heartening to have such an active, energetic group of young men as the Rappahannock Jaycees setting out to wake up lovely Rappahannock County to a number of its Important needs. More power to this newlyformed organization! It has made a grand start to get things done rather than bemoan the fact that there is too much apathy in Rappahannock to hope for improvements. This liveorganlzationde> serves all the encouragement that the citizenry and press can give it. One of the current projects of the organization is the establishment of a number of public dumps in Rappahannock, as reported in last week's issue of this paper. Undoubtedly, public dumps are badly needed. A drive along any of our highways, bordering streams and county roads revelas unsightly lie ter here and there, often in profusion. Obviously, much of this litter was placed there In bulk—a way of getting it off one's premises. With public dumps available, there would be no excuse for stores and households disposing of litter in this manner. Of course, it is now illegal to do so. But what the heck, is too common an attitude here. But there is another highly prevalent littering of the countryside. I refer to individual items, notably empty beer cans with their long life-ex - pectancy, which are hurledout of cars, and the beauty of the county be damned. It would be too much to expect the availarbility of public dumps to cut down on this kind of littering.
i,ong-time education and peruasionSnuet be exerted here, especially among the younger generation, to keep the roadsides and streams CLEAN. Thanks, Rappahannock Jaycees, for putting your . shoulders to the wheel to get old Rappahannock moving.
