Johnny Horizon clean-up
scheduled along South Yuba
Secretary of the Interior Walter J. Hickel today hailed the
Sponsors and participants in a
new citizens’ drive to clean up
littered recreation lands, dubbed
the Johnny Horizon Countryside
Clean-up Days.
"This grass-roots volunteer
movement is a most heartening
demonstration that Americans
really do care about the quality
of their environment," he said.
The countryside clean-up
days, scheduled October 10-12,
are named after the symbolic
outdoorsman developed by Interior's Bureau of Land Management to represent thoughtful
users of publicly owned lands.
Delmer D. Vail, Manager ‘of
the Folsom District of BLM said
that several local areas will benefit from this cleanup. One area
is the South Yuba River Recreation Lands in Nevada county.
The second area is located along
Clear Creek in the east part of
San Benito county. The primary
purpose of the campaign is to
introduce Johnny Horizon to the
public as well as to show what
concerned citizens can accomplish.
"Everyone interested inseeing the beautiful nation that lies
under the tin cans, broken bottles and wasté paper is urged to
join the ‘Johnny Horizon
Countryside Clean-up Campaign’ October 10-11-12,"
For information concerning
the South Yuba Cleanup in Nevada
county, Elvin Funder should be
contacted at 3571 Los Alamos
Way, Sacramento, C. 95825. Information and literature on the
Johnny Horizon program can be
obtained from the Folsom District Office, Bureau of Land
Management, at 63 Natoma
Street, Folsom, California

A fight against air pollution

Supervisor Willie Curran
noted at Tuesday's board meeting that the pollution problem

first proposed in California last
spring, recreationists in 11
other states have joined in the
event. The American Federation
of Mineralogical Societies has
been instrumental in securing
co-sponsors in other states", he
said.
"Such terms as ‘natural
beauty’ and ‘environmental protection’ have become by-words
in our vocabulary, but too many
of us react only with mere
words of protest when we see
a littered and blighted landscape," Secretary Hickel added.
"The sponsors of the Johnny
Horizon Countryside Clean-up
Days are showing their concern
with deeds, and [highly commend
them for their local action plans.
"Recreation and land management agencies at all levels are
working with very limited budgets, yet the cost of removing
litter from our public lands,
parks, and highways is now a
staggering $500,000,000 yearly.
With volunteer clean-up efforts
such as this, we are very hopeful that part of that tremendous
sum could instead be spent on
developing badly needed facilities," he concluded.
