Massive Spring Cleanup Planned
City brush pickup crews Mon
day began an area-by-area
spring cleanup of San Antonio's
residential areas.
The program emphasizes ci-
tizen cooperation in preparing
refuse for pickup wherever
possible.
Designed to sweep the entire
city during April and May In
one massive spring drive, the
program Implements details of
the city brush collection ordin-
ance enacted by City Council
last November.
That ordinance n.andates
three separate methods of
brush pickup In San Antonio.
They Include:
Small amounts of leaves,
grass clippings, light brush,
small household items and other
lightweight discards must be
boxed, bagged or bundled by
residents for pickup by regular
three-tlmes-each-week gar-
bage collection services. This
type of refuse will not be picked
up by brush collection crews
during periodic sweeps of the
city.
So-called -white goods" -
large appliances, old furniture,
mattresses and similar house-
hold discards - will be picked
up by city equipment on an on-
call basis when residents con-
tact their area service center.
Heavy waste such as large
tree trimmings, tree limbs,old
lumber and other items of home
and garage clean-up trash will
be picked upbycitybrushcrews
during the upcoming two-month
sweep of San Antonio. Residents
who elect may carry such re-
fuse directly to either of two
city-owned brush-burning
sites: one on Bitters road be-
hind International Airport, the
other out Pleasanton road at
Mitchell Lake.
DIVIDE ZONES
For the spring cleanup push,
the city has been subdivided Into
nine brush pickup zones.
The comprehensive pickup
campaign Involves the city's
total available force of brush
pickup personnel and vehicles,
including mechanical graggers
for large or heavy brush cut-
ting, old lumber and household
discards too large to handle
by pickup personnel.
Brush pickup crews sstarted
Monday, April 2 in Brush Pick-
Zone "A", an area of west San
Antonio bounded by the High-
way 90 West Expressway on the
south, W. Commerce St. on the
north, S. Flores street on the
east and the city limits on the
west, past Loop 410.
From there pickupcrews and
trucks will move in a clock-
wise direction around the city
until the total sweep is com-
plete. Next target: Brush Pickup
Area 'B", the area Immediate-
ly north of the starting-point for
the two-month drive.
Residents are asked to have
their large brush and other re-
fuse, that which cannot be boxed,
bagged or bundled for pickup
by regular tnrew -nines-a-wee it
garbage service, placed at their
normal garbage pickup point by
the first day of the concentrated
drive In each zone.
San Antonio residents can
greatly assist the spring clean-
up push by taking a personal
hand In the camoalgn.
Again, small amounts of
leaves, grass clippings, light
brush, small household items
and other lightweight discard/
must be bagged, boxed or
bundled for pickup by regular
garbage pickup services, as
specified by City Council or-
dinance passed last November.
SECURE BAGS
Regular garbage pickup
crews will take light brush or
other small, easily-handled re-
fuse If It is properly prepared
for discard and pickup. Resi-
dents should:
Tightly fasten or secure plas-
tic bags containing discard ma-
terial.
Do the same for cardboard
boxes holdilng similar refuse.
Bundle small amounts of
brush cuttings Into lengths of
not more than three feet and
weighing less than 30 pounds,
each bundle to be securely tied
with several bands of strong
twine or wire for ease of
pickup.
Large amounts of brush, old
lumber and similar easily-
burnable refuse can be taken
by residents themselves to
either of two cl*Bltter, road
burning sites rowj
or on Pleasart^r^-for „,v_

if City pickup of moderate to
eavy brush refuse or old
tumber is necessary, residents
should trim large tree limbs
so that no branches extend from
the main limb more than six
inches. Cut the limbs or lum-
ber Into lengths of no more
than four feet and stack neatly
and tighly at garbage collection
point for pickup by city brush
teams using mechanical grab-
ber devices.
Discarded furniture, old ap-
pliances and other large and
bulky household Items require
special handling. Residents who
discard these so-called "white
goods" must call their near-
est City Service Center for
pickup. Telephone numbers are
listed on page 654 of the tele-
phone directory under "Gar-
bage, Trash and Street Main-
tenance."
REMOVE LOCKS
Materials designed for com-
mercial use will not be picked
up by city crews.
A word of caution: when dis-
carding large appliances such
as refrigerators, home freez-
ers or other pieces that have
latches or locks, remove that
latch or lock before placing the
appliance outside for pickup.

IRS Allows
Deductions for
Paint Removal
The National Paint and Coat-
ings Association (NPCA) wishes
to alert parents of children suf-
fering from lead poisoning that
the cost of removing or cover-
in lead-based paint in their
homes Is now tax deductible
as a medical expense under
certain circumstances.
A recent Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) ruling provides
for a deduction for money spent
removing lead-based paint from
surfaces In a house that are In
poor repair or easily reached
by the owner's lead-poisoned
child.
The ruling also provides for a
deduction for the cost of cov-
ering the paint with plas-
ter, paneling or wallboard "to
extent such amounts exceed the
Increase in the value of the
house."
No deduction is allowed for
the cost of painting the new
plaster, paneling or wall-
board of the wall where paint
has been removed. Under the
ruling, the removal or cover-
ing must be ordered by a doc-
tor.
NPCA says one of the causes
of lead poisoning is the Inges-
tion of old, pre-Wolrd War II
leaded paints, containing up to
50% white lead.

In Memory Of MLK
ISRAEL—Allen Qullle, prominent Baltimore businessman, plants
a sapling In the Martin Luther King Jr. Forest In Israel. The Forest
planted by the Jewish National Fund and sponsored by the black
and Jewish members at the U.S. Congress, was dedicated In cere-
monies led by Qullle who said. "I think how Dr. King's dream has
come true. Here today, we Jews and Gentiles, blacks and whites,
together In the Holy Land, are dedicating a forest to the memory of
this great man who taught us all not only how to die, but alsot and
more Important, hfw to live."
The young forest came Into being two winters ago when 16 Chris--
,tlan and Jewish leaders, civil rlehts activists and followers of Dr.
King planted saplings during a religious pllgrlmate and study mis-
sion to Israel. Last fall, members of the Washington Bullets basket-
ball team dedicated a sizeable grove of trees during their visit to
Israel.

All fair
A good speech must have a
purpose. You must have a goal
and lead listeners directly to
that goal.
One way to have a specific
goal Is to think through your
thoughts to find that goal. Find
a central thought to carrjyxit;
Mim be ems Mm* use mt not
get lost In the maze and Intri-
cacies of detail. Keep your pur-
pose In mind until you have
reached your goal.
If one studies public speak-
ing, he will soon learn that
there are at least five gen-
eral purposes for speeches.
They are: (1) to Inform, (2)
to entertain, (3) to Impress,
(4) to convince, and (5) to per-
suade.
Sometimes the purposes may
overlap, but you will find that
one purpose overshadows all the
others. For example, when the
teacher talks to you In the class-
room, she generally speaks to
Inform: she may say something
to persuade you; but her es-
sential purpose Is to Instruct
In other words, to give In-
formation.
Public discussion must have
a purpose. For example, to
Inform, to exchange Ideas and
opinions and to offer a solu-
tion to some problem. Some
books add: to reach a deci-
sion.
READERS: For my pam-
phlet "Hints on Public Speak-
ings," send two stamps and

ness envelope to M.H. Boul-
ware, 430 Mercury Drive, Tal-
lahassee, Florida--32304.

grievances, all the members
agreed to It," Mrs. Bradley
said.
"The group who wanted me
out got together and decided
to fire mel"
"There was no talk of fir-
ing Qtlores at the meeting I

"We wouldn'thavestoodforlt."
SERVE ILLEGALLY
Mrs. Bradley said the board
members were serving illegal-
ly. She said they re-appolnted
themselves to serve another
term.
In February of 1978 the board
had 33 members. Itdrew straws
to stagger the terms and to de-
crease the size of the board.
When Mrs. Bradley contested
In court Judge Fred Shannon
ruled the board was legally
formed because they all agreed
to draw straws at the priori
meeting.
BEING HARASSED
Mrs. Bradley said she Is
being harassed.
She recently appeared before
the Federal Grand Jury be-
cuase records are missing from
the center.
Aji assistant U.S. Attorney-
has ordered Mrs. Bradley to
return the files.
She denied having the files.
"What Is In those files Is
In my head. I did everything
myself. I don't need the files
to make other proposals," she
said.
Mrs. Bradley said she won't
give up her flght--no matter
now long It takes.
When Congress passed the
Fair Labor Standards act In
June 1938, President Roose-
velt said It would provide "a
fair day's pay for a fair day's
work."
All states, cities, counties
and combinations of local units
with populations of 100,000 or
more are eligible to receive
direct federal grants under the
Comprehensive Employment
snd Training Act (CETA).
