Residential clean-up this week
The Tippy Township Chamber of Commerce is very pleased as the Community Pride Month progresses into its third phase with the amount of participation and cooperation they are receiving from individuals and businesses alike. This week the Chamber is promoting a residential fix-up, clean-up, paint-up week. Although many residents have already begun their spring cleaning, this week’s chamber drive comes in conjunction with many spring sales offered by the local merchants. Many of the stores have spring clean-up items as well as paints and exterior beautification aids. The chamber noted that in the past week, civic organizations have participated in the roadside clean-up. Assistance from the Cub Scout Pack 3726 was greatly appreciated. “With the weather working to our disadvantage, we have still managed to accomplish most of our goals,” stated Nadine Gooding, committee member. The town pick-up which was curtailed because of equipment shortages, will carry over until next Saturday. Any one who was missed may arrange pick up by calling 834-2990. Another committee member, Alice Rinker, reminded that the suggestion boxes are still out in all of the high traffic businesses. “We are encouraging everyone to fill out a suggestion slip to help give us ideas for ways te help and better the community?’ she said. Another comment in conjunction with Community Pride Month was from Chuck Lawrance, the chamber’s vice president. He noticed many clean-up and fix-up projects going on in the North Webster and Barbee areas. “I am really excited to see the people share the enthusiasm and pride that the chamber is trying to instill, it makes for a happier and more beautiful area.” The chamber will be winding up its month long campaign on May 15 with a “Plant Something Week.” The Tippy Township Chamber will continue to strive for community betterment and citizen awareness. The next meeting of the chamber will be May 16 at Camelot Hall at 7. All members and interested citizens are encouraged to attend. Fresh cut To keep your cut roses as fresh as possible for as long as possible try this. Pound the end of the stems with a hammer. This will allow more water to enter. Then remove all the thorns and foliage below the water lipe so that water will pass through the holes that are left. Do not remove thorns and foilage from above the water line because this will cause the roses to take in air and die.
