In the Dumps J
At a special board meeting of the Rappahannock JCs in* formation was presented in the forms of pamphlets, letters, and reports concerning the possibility of acquiring a public dump for the county* The information came from Richmond, bv way of Francis Thornton, and revealed that the best type of dump for this area is a “land fill dump", which not only solves the problem of trash, but can actually improve the land. With this type of system the trash is deposited, compressed, and then covered with two inches of soil. After several deposits of trash and soil, the area is further compacted and blanketed with two feet of soil. The land thus becomes improved. The main problem that confronts this activity is the acquisition of a suitable site. Suitable land for a dump is a large gully, washed out land, hilly land, or generally any land that is isolated from houses and needs to be filled or improved. Anyone knowing of such land that could be donated, bought or leased,please contact one of thefollowing JC members: George Davis, Buster Hitt, Garfield Burke, T. C. Lea, George Wharton, Jimmie Wayland, Pete Estes, Larry Welch, or Rodney Vest. Cooperation in this activity is invited and appreciated. The JCs, in an effort to undertake projects which will reflect the needs of the people of Rappahannock, will conduct a community survey to ascertain the attitudes of the population, their likes and dislikes, and the five most important improvements that can be made. The survey will begin Sunday afternoon, October 18 and continue for about three weeks. After the survey is completed an analysis will be made and the results published In the Rappahannock News."
