"We know we've got a nucleus of workers that will be able to get something accomplished, but we're hoping for 20 or more. With that kind of turnout, we should be able to cover the whole area."

Volunteers are to report with their tools to the Town Hall at 8 a.m. Saturday and will be finished by 1 p.m., Smith said.

"We'll find out then how many people are really enthusiastic," Smith said. "We all know your conscience can do funny things at 8 o'clock on a Saturday morning. "We're trying to encourage more people to turn out by only working a half-day," he added. "Not many people are going to show up if they have to work till 5:30."

Most of the others, such as removal of dangerous abandoned buildings and more improvement of the town park, have to be longer-term efforts with governmental authority behind them, he said. "We're going one step at a time," he said. "The more people get involved in projects like the cleanup, the more interest should develop in some of the harder jobs." Having seen how annual clean-up campaigns helped the surrounding cities of Vincennes, Bicknell and Washington, the committee's organizers decided to try one in Wheatland despite the lack of a municipal trash collection service.

An immediate need was to fill that gap during the clean-up effort. The committee plans to place two dumpsters at a central point. One of the dumpsters will receive garbage and general rubbish. The committee cannot accept used tires or liquid wastes, but "just about anything else" can be placed in that receptacle, Smith The second dumpster will be for discarded appliances and other metal goods. A salvage company is being sought to provide and service that one free, recovering its cost from the salvage value of the metal.

"We're asking people to help by bringing their own trash to the dumpsters if they are able, or to call us if they're not," Smith said. "We're also accepting donations toward the cost of the one we have to pay for. "With the response we've had so far, we're already assured that there will be some improvement in the community's appearance," he said. "The only question is, how much?"
