or sacks. H the leaves are piled beside the street --thev

will pick them up and is now running regularly to take care of
the fall accumulation. Later, when the demand i les- essemhl.
the truck will probably ran two day-, a week. While regular
runs are made, calls may be left at city hall by persons
having leaves to remove and he truck will go’ •? them as

Funds are still ••dribbling"
in, the officials agree, but
the totals are so -mail and
few that an over-the-top re-
port gets dimmer and further
from reach.
For rhe pasr several y^ars,
Alvin has not only met its
quota for the sum total of all
charitable efforts within the
city but has usually over-
subscribed the amount set by
the ONE FUND SteeringCom-
mittee. This year, to dare,
this hasn't happened a-d ONL
