the program in Fine Knoll Shores, while Terry Sweeney and Ed Baker are preparing to participate in the program. The Board of Commissioners reviewed the criteria for a street lighting ordinance for Pine Knoll Shores as recommended by the Planning Board. The conclusion was that the Commissioner of Streets set up a formula for the orderly control of street lights, including maintaining an accurate and up-to-date map of the street lighting needs. Specific recommendations suggested that three lights per city block be installed except where the block is less than 600 feet in length, and two lights per cul-de-sac, except where the area is extremely short. Finally, the Board of Commissioners opposed a request from the Neuse River Council of Governments for endorsement of a resolution calling for continued financial support of the Economic Development Administration’s Rural development program. This action by the Commissioners effectively supports the Reagan administration's efforts to cut federal spending . . . Mayor Cleveland reported that during his recent visit to Washington in connection with the National League of Municipalities conference, he met with Senator East and with assistants to Senator Helms and Congressman Jones to pursue the matter of a postoffice for Pine Knoll Shores. He said he was encouraged by tlie interest these people exhibited in this matter.

Lenora Roberson presented a plan in v/hich members vjould take weelcly turns at picldLng up the litter along Oakleaf Drive from Salter Path Road to the Country Club from April 16 through Labor Day. In this same connection, Helen Granger presented information concerning a Beverage and Bottle Container bill which is before the North Carolina Legislature. The bill, if passed, will require retailers to charge a fee for the beverage container and which would be refunded upon return of the container. This is a bill similar to that enacted by other states in an effort to reduce the careless disposal of cans and bottles along highways and streets and the enactment of which has had .a salutory effect. The Garden Club strongly supports this effort and encourages citizens to write their state legislators and urge prompt enactment. ( The program for the day was presented by Engelbert Burtscher, a prominent Broad Creek gardener. He advocated grov/ing French marigolds and encouraging bird-^^ life in the garden area in place of using insecticides. He also discussed the use of decomposed sawdust in place of peat moss as a mulch. He also demonstrated his various methods of cultivating and using the many vegetables and fruits he grows.
