Groups join in westside clean-up
Volunteers from the City of
Cuero, DeWitt County’s precincts 1
and 4 and the Beautify Cuero Com-
mittee joined forces Wednesday to
pick up more that 750 cubic yards of
trash and refuse that had been ac-
cumulating in the westside of
Cuero.
“Some of this trash had been
there for four or more years,” said
Bess Blanton, chairman of the
Beautify Cuero Committee.
“This operation was a tremen-
dous success not only because it
eliminated trash piles that were
health hazards and eyesores to the
community, but it also shows what
can be accomplished when everyone
works together," Blanton said.
She said the new garbage dump-
sters across town should eliminate
the need for clean-ups of this kind in
the future. “Everyone can use the
dumpsters for their trash, if they
have limbs or other things that are
too large to fit into the dumpsters,
the may call the city for pick-up at
SI2 a load," she said.
Blanton warned that the new city

also offers help in' developing com-
munity and woiksite “no smoking”
programs. It will collect data on
smoking cessation programs,
municipal smoking ordinances, and
current research results on the
dangers of tobacco use, according
to Ron Todd, director of the pro-
gram. The office is part of the TDH
Public Health Promotion Division.
Texas Commissioner, of Health
Dr Robert Bernstein said, “With
this central clearinghouse, we can
supplv comprehensive information
about smoking and its effects on in-
dividual and public health. This is a
most cost effective way to give Tex-
ans easy access to reliable informa-
tion on smoking and smokeless
tobacco use.”

“Each year more than 45,000
Texans die from heart disease, lung
cancer, emphysema, and
bronchitis," Dr. Bernstein said.
“At least P.000 of these deaths are
attributable to smoking tobacco.”
He said growing public concern over
the risks associated with tobacco use
is evident in the growing number of
Texas cities and towns passing or-
dinances on smoking.
The U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services estimates that
30 percent of coronary heart disease
deaths, 80 percent of lung, bronchus
and trachea cancer deaths, and 80
percent of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease deaths are caus-
ed by smoking
