Trash disposal program is county asset “Newberry County’s Rural Garbage and Trash Disposal Program is a definite asset to the County citizens,” according to A. F. Busby, Newberry coun ty agent. A total of seven dumping sites have been established at strategic locations throughout the county. Champion Paper Co, in co operation with the Newberry County Beautification Commit tee, provided the initial dump ing sites. Others have been pro vided by Newberry County. Newberry County is now co- ope.’ating in maintaining these dumping sites. A good illustration is the dumping site located on the property of H. M. Hentz and Son located near Silverstreet. The initial site has been in use for several months and has now been completely filled. The area residents have been most cooperative in dumping trash and garbage into the pre pared pit and not littering the adjacent area. Now that the pit is filled, county-owned equipment has covered the fill ed pit with dirt so that it does not remain an unsightly area. A new dumping site has now been prepared alongside the or iginal pit. County Agent Busby urges all county residents to use the approved dumping sites. Co operation is urged, however, not to use these sites for dis posal of dead animals. Live stock lost due to disease should be promptly buried so as to pre vent further spread of disease. “In our opinion, the New berry County ‘Beautification Committee, Newberry county officials and cooperating indus tries, such as Champion Paper Co., are to be commended for their efforts in providing and maintaining trash dumping sites for our citizens’ use,” Mr. Busby concludes. “ Everyone should cooperate in using these facilities properly. In so doing we will make Newberry county a much more attractive and healthy place in which to live.” CHINESE NEW YEAR In ancient China, the observ ance of the New Year lasted not a day, but for 15 days.
