Stricter en forced sute and local anti litter laws are his chief wea pons, and the Garden Clubs of North Carolina his suunc hest allies. Mr. Hunt decided to wage war after seeing what he called virtual wastebaskets being made of the roadside" as he traveled around theStateprior r0ad.bnd rc/?endum last November. On that tour of the Sute. Hunt told HighwayCommiss staff members traveling with him that he was becoming Just as concerned about the amount,of highway littering as about the condition of the roads themselves, and he said that once the bond issue vote and the preliminary work of impl ememation of the bond pro gram was completed, he would launch an a 11 out anti-liner drive. Early in 1966. Chairman Hunt got together figures from spot checks around the Sute on the cost of cleaning up trash and litter tossed from passing cars onto the high ways, and was amazed at what ne found. It costs more than $60 per mile to clear litter from rural fhi^nhighWays* and m?re than $220per mile on express ways. That means that it could cost North Carolina some *4 million a year just to clean up litter (which has no business there in the first place) from the roads and streets on the S>stem- As it is now, highway work forces are only able t? get about ten per cent of the Inter, and this only at a /ew intervals each year. Armed with this kind of in formation, Chairman Hunt im mediately called on A. Pilston Godwin, Jr., Motor Vehicles Commissioner, for assist Hunt asked Commissioner Godwin to direct the Highway Patrol to give more exphasis to enforcement of the state anti-litter law, and Godwin re sponded with immediate action. The directive went out In the meantime. Chairman Hunt got additional support from the N. c. League of Municipalities, and its Exec utive Director, Mrs. Davetu Steed, wrote to memberpolice . aSl<in8 that the towns ?"d cil,es als? crack down on litter bugs. He also held sev eral conversations with Mrs. W. C. Landolian, Sr. of Cle mmons, N.C., President of the North Carolina Garden Clubs, Inc. and her two lieutenants; Mrs. Milton Abbott and Mrs. Martha B. Hooks of Raleigh. The garden clubs promised an all out effort in the devel opment of local community ac tion programs which would in volve as many civic, govern mental and service organiza tions as possible in a clean up campaign in every comm unity in North Carolina. This portion of the overall clean up -drive is still in the plann ing stages, according to Garden Club sources. The strict enforcement of the anti-litter laws is already beginning to bear fruit. Motor Vehicles Commissioner God win reported to the news media in February that the first full month of anti-litter law emph asis brought 52 arrests during January and that there was evidence "that there is a growing resentment on the part of responsible citizens that some people use road sides as 'wastebaskets' ". Godwin based this on the fact that more citizens seem will ing to report littering to local officials and the Highway Pa trol. He cited several inc idents which were reported during January. On February 23, Chairman Hunt ordered )50-thousand dollars worth of new anti litter signs to be erected along North Carolina highways to constantly remind highway us ers not to toss litter thought lessly from their cars. These signs will be of the variety which say: "Unlawful to throw trash on highway. Fine of up to 150.." Another sign Chairman Hunt is using is the THINK sign. This consists of the work "think" being written in rel ectorized material on the usu ally blank portion of the coll apsible "IceonBridge" signs. When the weather is good and there is no ice on bridges around the state, signs which are used to warn motorists of the slick stuff are folded over to form a blank metal triangle, and it is on this sur face that the work think is written. Chairman Hunt has had the signs department of the Highway Commission put the THINK signs out on an ex perimental basis in Wake and Guilford Counties. He told newsmen on Feb. 21 th?i, "These THINK Signs will make folks take a second look at that speedometer and it will also make them think twice about tossing that trash out the window. It la still too early, however, to determine what effect, if any, the THINK siffns have had on littering. Chairman Hunt told a group in Raleigh recently that he doesn't expect "miracles to happen overnight. But I do believe we're headed in the right direction. The Highway Commission is doing all it can and we're getting splendid cooperation from the Highway Patrol and Department of Motor Vehicles. The news papers are becoming interes ted and are doing features and editorials and the radio and television stations are doing features and editorials and television stations are doing features and public ser vice announcements. I'm fir mly convinced that with this kind of interest and acitvity on the part of folks all over the State, then it can't be too long before its very unpopular to litter the highways. It may take a few arrests to begin with, but later I believe that public attitudes will take over and we can keep our highways clean, and save a lot of time and tax dollars."
