Show You'll have to hand it to Roy Hall foi the fine job he domg Toking CSterStrnoew- thSn vll ever seen then,; and after talk-fng talk-fng with some of the natives I should revise the statement to state they're looking better than in yearl As a whole, the streets are being kept darn clean and free from ruts. Road and city officials must also be congratulated for the zoning off of parking places m the fity streets. The outlined narking spots necessitate that car owners park their cars within' with-in' the lines, else they 11 probably prob-ably wind up with a ticket. And straight parking, in the long 'run means a lot of extra parkin" park-in" 'space that otherwise would be" wasted. The scarcity of ! parking space has proven quite I a headache, but so far the city has tried to solve the problem by encouraging the cooperation of car owners. Don't park all I day in one spot, if you please. After a slow start the Roos-! Roos-! evelt baseball team is develop-I develop-I ing into a team "with a future." A tournament trip is now being planned to Helper, and with Bennett's Ben-nett's second loss Saturday in three weeks, Roosevelt is only one game out of first place. Presently the team is trying to promote this Thursday night dance at the tennis courts With the idea of making enough money to finance the Helper excursion. It is to be hoped the base-ballers base-ballers have better luck with the tennis court dances than the Jaycees had. But with the way that Fred Dillard is hustling hustl-ing with his promoting, anything any-thing is possible. First he comes in here with, a big order for tickets and handbills, and after peddling and distributing them all over town, I see him painting paint-ing the windows all up and down Main street with commands com-mands like YOU BE THERE. He could sell deep freezes in Alaska. Bob Andrews, the city's newly new-ly appointed athletic director, wants it known around town that Ren Fenn is selling soft-ball soft-ball and baseball booster cards. Bob says the cards, the proceeds pro-ceeds from which are being used to finance the sports program, pro-gram, are not selling like the proverbial hotcakes, and the reason probably is that not enough "civic minded" citizens are acquainted with the fact they're on sale. |
