Scouts Clean Paiute Creek
February 9, 1971
TWENTY-THREE boys from Boy Scout Troop 58 and Cub Scout Pack 58 spent Saturday morning on a community service project—cleaning Paiute Creek of litter from North Street through the city park, ending the project on the south side of Main Street where the new high school tennis courts are located.
A wide variety of debris was taken from the creek, filling the city dump truck two times. Items found included boots, shoes, pants, tires, chains, bottles cans, sunglasses, wire, barrels, tennis balls, limbs, boards and a suitcase.
The Scouts, after their clean-up, expressed the hope that Susanville citizens would do their best to keep Susanville clean and beautiful. The city furnished a dump truck and loader manned with a capable operator for the project.
The picture above was taken after the boys had completed their project.

Others assisting were Fred Dunell, scoutmaster; Tom Margrave, assistant scoutmaster; Wayne Rushing, guide patrol advisor, Bill Burr, Scout committee chairman and Kennard Kenoyer, equipment operator. (Advocate photo).
