Spring Clean Up for Safety
The reasons for the Spring Clean Up campaign which starts in Forest Park on May
3, according to Lt. K. M. Rosser, Fire Inspector, are:
Clean Up brings a lot of bene
fits to the community, but one
of the major accomplishments is
to get rid of the trash and rub
bish which provides a breeding
place for fire.
Every 12 minutes one Ameri
can home is destroyed or
damaged by fires starting in
trash and rubbish, and fire
always carries with it the treat
of death—about 6,500 people
were killed in fires in homes last
year, according to National Fire
Protection Association statistics.

items.
The restaurant and drive-in

last six years due to public ac

prices, and prompt, attentive
service.
Frank Harbin, who has spent
most of his life in Clayton Coun

his customers this week for a
growing business. Last weekend
more people were served than in
any previous weekend period.
He is assisted by Mrs. Harbin
in the management of the res
taurant and drive-in, and they
are working managers, popular
with their customers.
But work is not all with the
Harbins. They are members of
the world-famous Wally Byam

attended a gigantic rally in Mi

with the trailer caravan enthus
iasts is a June 15 rally at Prince
