Knowing that I had tucked this newspaper away long ago, finding it was an adventure. After moving twice in the last several years, it was only a matter of time until we had collected all of our STUFF. That happened a week ago and today I opened the next to last box and there she was.
The real reason for keeping this newspaper will be for another time.
Carefully turning every page of the weathered paper, the content only got more interesting.
After turning several pages, I came across what seems to be some sort of public information address.
After reading it, I just shook my head.
This newspaper is from May 15 1967, which happened to be Mother's Day that year.
Back 51 years ago we were being warned and instructed on how to CUT DOWN ON AIR POLLUTION.
Lets take a look at how we are doing.

I'd say we are falling miserable. Things continue to get worse, and we continue to hear the same lame arguments.
Mother Nature is rearing its ugly head.
At this rate I wonder how many Mothers' Days are left in our future.

Oh, is this the place where I’m supposed to drop off my address? I’ve been following @thebigsweed for a minute now, he’s talked about you a bunch, but he’s never mentioned the address drop off. I gotta get in on this! Just in case one isn’t enough, I’m tripling down on my chances!

How is it going my man.
Good to hear from you.
I'm sure you have had better weeks.
Hopefully the downtime you spent has provided you with a little peace of mind.
After the initial shock wore off from this heart breaking event, I hope fond memories of your time spent with Chris have started to replace those of sorrow.
A sense of humor helps to mend what is broken, and I am glad to see yours slowly returning.
Of course, if you were serious, and you need me to show a little luv. In that case you got it.😊😊😊

no, heck no, you’re the best though but I’m playing! Just looked like a good place to drop off some addresses. 👍🏿 Not just for you but :attention: anyone feels like testing their crypto sending skills and you’re in the Christmas spirit then by all means, don’t let me stop you, there’s 3 addresses up there to send to. whistle tombstone whistle Bernie... whoops! Dang thumbs again!! <— knock it off, thumbs! Choose 1 or all 3. I’ll help you keep track of the transaction time—promise!
Yesterday was a rough day but we made it! Man what a great turn out that one was. I’ve been pretty emotional and I could’ve came around, I just figured one week out of here entirely may do some good. I think it did. Allowed me to leave Chris at the top of my page for a week too.
But I’m looking forward to showing you something new tomorrow @thebigsweed. Happy Sunday! Thanks for being cool.
edit first time since I registered here last year that my ‘active’ posts at steemworld has 0 next to it. Kinda cool seeing that for the first time. It looks like this:

You're getting there, first replied thoughts funny, pretty funny, actual very funny.
Will be looking for something new tomorrow , or the next day, even the day after that, no material after that, it's push the button unfollow down, or is it lift the follow button up, maybe unfollow the follow buttonn, no I got it, follow the unfollow button down.
Get busy, or one of the above will occur.

It really does hurt.
Someone told me this year I would live just long enough to regret having kids. As in things will get bad enough for humanity on this planet that I would feel bad for having brought them into it.
Whether or not that is the case, it would be great if we all took that stance to change what we were doing and precariously avoid that eventuality.
Probably what it is going to take.

The mess we are burdening our children and grandchildren with may be more than they can handle.
This is why it is so important to start the process now.

Howdy sir bigsweed! A great reminder about such an important issue. Can't wait to find out why you kept that paper from 1967!

Thank you. Pretty soon the air we breath will be reminder enough for all of us.

Before moving here permanently, we would stay for two months over the summer. For the first week or two when I returned to NJ the air would literally make me sick. Congestion, runny eyes and nose, and stuffed head, would be what I would come to expect for the first couple of weeks back in NJ.
During the times when cloths will dry outside, we hang our wash on a cloths line. Once dried they are as fresh as a daisy.
It's good that the quality of the air in your neck of the woods seems good.
With air being swept around the globe, many people experience air pollution that was created thousands of miles away.

Howdy today bigsweed! Oh man, that's some bad air for sure, well we might get bad air in some parts of Texas I don't know, I've just never seen any signs of it around here. The air and skies are always crystal clear so far. No chemtrails or anything either but hopefully people in areas like NJ will keep pressure on their legislators and force them to do more.

Great article @thebigsweed. I wasn’t expecting the twist, I was expecting a history lesson. Good job.

Thanks,
You should see some of the content that this paper has provided for future posts.
Back in the day all of the cartoons were hand sketched.
Many of the classics are in this paper.
I think you will enjoy once I post.
Cartoon characters like Blondie, Li'l Abner, The Green Beret, Orphan Annie
Here is one from Moon Mullins
Thought you may be able to read, but too small.
I'll let the suspense build until I dedicate a post to all the cartoons that were in this very, very, special paper that I have saved for 41 years.
