litterbag from Mrs. W. A. Keever, (left), chairman of Variety

Roanoke Island.
Variety Garden Club Helps
In Anti-Litterbug Drive
Members of the Firestone Va
riety Garden Club, in affiliation
with the North Carolina Garden
Club, Inc., are joining efforts in
a 90-day summertime campaign
to “keep North Carolina beauti
ful.”
The special emphasis on
stamping out “litterbugging”,
aims at making every North
Carolinian and every visitor a
one-man army against careless
citizens who leave a trail of
trash as they travel the streets,
highways and make use of parks
and picnic areas in the state.
The-program, begun July 1, is
spearheaded by the Governor’s
Committee for Clean Highways,
and has Governor Luther
Hodges as its honorary chair
man. Committee members repre
sent statewide organizations
which are taking the effort to
local levels.
At the beginning of the pro
gram, Governor Hodges express
ed confidence in the success of
the campaign, which, he said,
could be “one of the greatest
things that has ever happened
to North Carolina.'’
THE STATEWIDE beautifica
tion effort is planned as the be
ginning of a long-term drive to
maintain inviting appearances
along highways, streets and in
parks and other public areas.
Though the drive this summer is
concerned mainly with clean
highv/ays, parks and other places
used by the public, the move
ment is expected to grow to pro
portions that it will concern a
varietj'^ of things ranging from
the chewing gum wrapper toss
ed in the street to the ugly
“automobile graveyards” found
near the entrances of many
North Carolina communities.
In addition to being promoted
by garden clubs across the state,
the campaign is being helped by
civic clubs, religious and pa
triotic organizations, and busi
ness and industrial firms. The
press, and radio and television
stations are aiding in the pro^
motion. “Keep America Beau
tiful, Inc.,” a non-profit organi
zation with headquarters in New
York, is lending its full support
in an advisory capacity.
