JAYCEES CLEAR
PARKING LOT
-
Perform First Large Project
of Service to This
DIRT USED FOR FILLING
Community
The first laige project of actual
service to the community was that
of the Smyma-Clayton Junior
Chamber of Commerce on Sadur
day t> June 13, when they set out at
seven o'clock in the morning to
clear the recently leased lof in
back of the Post Office to add
space for car parking. The Jay
cees, despite the intense heat and
humidity, cleared the lot of a dense
growth of smaU trees and bushes,
plus poison ivy, and piled the de
bris on trucks and hauled it away.
They also engaged in breaking up
the remains of a concrete block
restroom which has been removed
from tke site, and loaded and haul
ed away the rubble. Working un- i
der the direction of James Warren,
foreman of town crews, they as
staked with the filling in of the
rear of the lot to a depth of sev
end feet. Dump trucks provided by
George & Lynch, contractors, were ;
used for this part of the project,
,
j
as well as a large grader.
Filling With Dirt
Large piles of dirt from the East !
Commerce Street pro jeer have
toeen hauled to the Main Street loti
and will ibe used to fill in as the
area settles. This service was vol
unteered by the Jaycees to save
the town money for labor and to
.expedite the acquisition of more
free parking space in the center
of the town. The Main Street lot,
near Four Comers, added to Mar
ket Street Plaza now provides free
parking space for several hundred
cars. John E. Wilson, Jr., also a
member of Town Council, and Rod
ney Schuman comprised the Jay
ceea committee. They were assis
ted by a large group of the Jay
cees membership in the work.

Texture Paints
Give 3-D Effect
New texture paints give
three-dimensional effect to inte
rior walls in homes.
The paint is applied with
brush. Then, white it is still
tacky, it is textured with a roller,
a brush, a sponge, a crumpled
piece of paper, or a trowel.
Special stipple rollers and
stipple brushes are among the
easiest texturing tools to use.
