One ol<f 4Jn can full of germs
can cost the life of a precious
one with one case of typhoid.
It’s not lending a helping hand
to put rubbish .md cans on the
roadside. It detracts from the
general appearances and few
farmers are wanting their foace
rows decorated with Junk. We
have a place to dump It.
