Communication
April 7,1980
The Polk County Appearance
Commission would like to
publicly acknowledge all the
people who participated in the
Clean-upDrive of Operation
Pride 1980. Many individuals,
without any fanfar or publicity,
demonstrated their pride in their
beautiful countryside by picking
up litter. Some even bought their
own bags because the state bags
were not always available where
they were supposed to be.
Some particular organizations
and groups deserve special
mention:
•The students at Tryon High
School who picked up around the
Tryon triangle.
•The students who painted the
fire hydrants in Tryon.
•The 4-H young people in
Columbus
•The 4-H Club in Stony Knoll
• The Tryon Bulletin, Thermal
Belt News and Station WTYN fdr
support and publicity.
•The members of the Pea Ridge
Community Club House who
picked up 34 miles of roadside
litter.
•Saluda — which was probably
the best organized community.
• The Lions Club of Columbus
• The Kiwanis Club of Tryon
•The N. C Highway Dept.
• The Roseland Community.
Operation Pride 1980 will not
end with this Clean-up — this is
only the beginning. We are
determined to continue — for
example, to dispose of some of
the unsightly "dump spots", and
