Show Solved? Several complaints have reached the Springville Herald Her-ald office this week concerning concern-ing raids on fruit trees, especially es-pecially cherries in various parts of town, by young people. One woman, a widow, who has waited several years for her trees to bear fruit, caring car-ing for them, even irrigating them often during water turns in the night reported that some young people walked out of church, over to her trees and practically stripped them of half-ripe cherries. The trees were well over her lot and she felt that the act was one of outright out-right stealing almost as much as if they had entered her home and taken things, when she wasn't home. Cherries, even half-ripe as they are at present, are tempting to young people, especially when they are hungry and looking for something to do. But the lady who has lost her cherries cher-ries might have a point in suggesting that parents plant a cherry tree or two on their lots and let young people know how much work is involved in caring for them, and then let them eat the cherries from their own tree?. |
