Neighborhood people, galled by the filth of the streets left untended by the city and admittedly spoiled by uncaring attitudes that flourish in neglect, decided to form a committee to get folks together for volunteer clean-up days. Since the first meetings to discuss an overall neighborhood assembly had been held, the committee to clean the streets identified itself with the larger group, but it worked independently and creatively. It got the streets, at least some of them, cleaned up. Neighbors began meeting neighbors while sweeping. Neighbors became neighbors. They became citizens of their neighborhood...
Jimmy Stoeckel will be the clean-up man and play third, Dave St. Pierre will hit fifth and play right, and Hal Smith will hold down the sixth spot in the order and play left.

John T. Dunlop, the Administration's clean-up batter last year, has been sent up to the big leagues. His pinch-hitter, Franklin L. Ford, denied the Union even minimal gains.

In the Atlanta experiment, the men average $3.49 an hour at jobs ranging from heavy-equipment operator to gas-station manager, and they each pay $4 a day for their room and board. Every man participates in group-therapy sessions, shares the clean-up chores and lives in a double room, most of which have air conditioners and TV sets. Visitors of either sex are allowed every evening until 10 p.m., and all day on weekends. The idea may seem to some like "coddling criminals," but the centers can point to a long...
...power was off in Wilkes-Barre Thursday morning as the cars and trucks poured into town filled with clean-up crews and families nervously searching for their homes through streets suddenly unfamiliar. The powerless stoplights, coupled with a six-inch layer of brown sludge on the streets, made driving an eery adventure. At a few intersections, civilian deputies or grey-uniformed security police gestured rather futilely at the haggard drivers, but for the most part improvisation prevailed...
