After P.A.P. was formed in September of l970, meetings were held three times a month. Each time a meeting was held more people attended. Several clean-up proiects in Ocean Township were held. The first, in coniunction with Citizens Against Water Pollution, the sanitation department, the Boy Scouts, and others, helped removegarbage from a section of Deal Lake. Another clean-up, or- ganized by P.A.P., took place on Route 43135 across from Grand Union Supermarket. A truck from the sanitation department was available to cart away several loads of refuse. At one meeting in November, committees were formed to help combat specific problems in our area. One committee put boxes in the high school classrooms to collect old papers. These papers were later reprocessed for another use. P.A.P. successfully helped curb the apathy of township residents and made them realize that they, too, were responsible for keeping Ocean Township clean.
