Show Wouldn't you know it? The very first day of the new watering regulations found the ol Redhead in violation. Sunday morning we awoke to find the water running down the sidewalk and the street. Closer inspection showed the water bubbling out of the ground on the street side of the curb cock. The city crew replaced the city's line across the street and to the curb cock but by that time if not before the line was leaking on my side of the curb and there was nothing to do except dig up the brand new lawn and run new pipe. For Redheads and Editors, nothing comes easy and before be-fore the water line was fixed fix-ed the sewer line was broke and had to be replaced. By Tuesday night all was well but the new lawn sure took a beating. -0- City Hall is inclined to be reasonable with extenuating circumstances on the watering water-ing regulations, but flagrant violations will receive citations, cita-tions, as several good residents resi-dents already can testify. -0- Actually, we in Milford should be thankful that (at least it seems) we have plenty of water. However, must cut waste, and unnecessary unneces-sary pumping, if we are to avoid premature raising of water rates. Barring unfor seen circum -stances, there will be plenty of water for trees, lawns, flowers and gardens in Milford. Mil-ford. Let's be good neighbors neigh-bors and keep It that way. -0- Speaking of good neighbors, neigh-bors, if your dog is running loose, in the neighbor's yard or garden, better pen him up. Owners of unspayed fern ales, suffer your consequences. Dogs become a problem every spring, and if you've got a dog, or cat, and want to be a good neighbor, keep it home or under control. It's either be good neighbors neigh-bors or face another round with a leash law. Even if Milford could afford to do it right, it's not what most of us wanted when we chose to live in a small town. Remember, you are liable for any damage caused by your animal or children! -0- T. I. Williams says he's over 40, and can read. He just forgot to set his papers out for the Lions last time around. Remember, it's the third Wednesday every month that the Lions pick up papers. Set them out by 4:00 p.m. so they won't be missed. -0- We really don't like to come down hard on the under 40 bunch but we'll reward you with three solid yellow gumdrops for every individual indivi-dual between 20 and 40 that occupies a responsible position posi-tion in any civic or fraternal frater-nal group in Milford. Fact is, the youngpeople are not taking over for us old fogies, and Milford's the worse for it. -O- Who needs it you say ? Well, Milford needs you. Every organization in town can use some young blood. But even more you need to be apart of something worthwhile. worth-while. There's more to It than attending meetings, crusading cru-sading for something the community needs. There's a feeling of doing something for your community. A feeling feel-ing of a job well done. A feeling of doing not for money, not for glory, not . for love but just the satisfaction sat-isfaction of contributing your share. Try it you might just find you like it! |
