As the weather warms and the

Late in 1955 when it became ap-
parent that the Mound* lake
would soon be dry. Rollings pro-
posed that the town seek water
from Polecat creek to replenish
the dwindling supply al the lake
Many local citizens felt this idea
was impossible and after consider-
able effort the idea was tabled
for a few weeks.
After no rainfall and the lake
was almost bone dry'. Rollings
again made his proposal to towns-
people and offered to undertake
all the work involved.
After making contacts with the
Corps of Engineers, Civil Defense
officials. Governor Gary and th«

water from the creek to the lake.
Rollings again undertook to as-
sist in raising the funds needed to
complete this project. He made
contacts and obtained help for
vfounds not only from local sources
hut from others interested in the
welfare of the town.
The job of surveying the route,
laying the pi|>e and overseeing
the pumping operation for 2'v
months was u n d e r l a k e n by
Mounds residents under direction

A small, unnamed monument stands alongside U. S. High-

Some individual who was primarily interested in present-
ing a cleaned-up appearance at homo has dumped his refuse
there. A stack of tin cans remain as a monument to his. or
her pride.
Springtime is the traditioinal housecleaning time for Am-
erican housewives and yard-cleaning is one of the most im-
portant chores. The trash collected should be hauled away

Persons living on the Tibbens road complain constantly
about their area being used as a dumping grounds. That road
has been added to the state highway list for improvement
and will soon carry uncounted numbers of additional guests
to and from Sapulpa. Must they face a dumping-grounds en-
trance?
State laws provide a sevoro penalty for dealing with per-
sons convicted *»1 disposing of uns.ghtly and unwanted refuse
such as tin cans, papers and discarded toys along our high- 1
ways. This penalty is seldom enforced because everyone dis-
likes being the type of person to file charges.
The cans near Kiefer may be beer cans—they may have
contained motor oil. but they do not appear to be the type
which were opened with a kitchen wall opener, so it is pro-
bable that no housewife discarded that particular "mess.'
