Let's get behind the anti-litter drive

To the editor:

After reading your article on littering, my regard for Mayor Jay Knudtson of Cape Girardeau went up 100 percent. He did what we all should do, but most of us don't. He realizes what a big problem we have with litterbugs. They should be called "litterbums," because that's exactly what they are. They have absolutely no consideration for anyone else and expect the rest of us to pick up after them. Let's get behind our mayor and do something. If you see someone littering, get the license number and turn it in. I'll bet that would deter a few of them.

D.J. DAWSON, Cape Girardeau
