The attempt to use the power to make or withhold civic Improvements, Improve-ments, such as the installation of new street lights, and the threat to re-route the highway, as clubs to compel local people to agree to the parallel parking requirement is highly unethical. It points up the evil of "big government". We, as taxpayers, are entitled to have the new street lights, if our tax parking space hold up traffic much longer than cars parked at 45 degrees, de-grees, and the danger of fender-denting fender-denting is greater. When you get in, it of. en happens that other cars park so close in front and behind you that you can't get out again.

So probably In the last couple of months, 1 a reasonable presentation of the ' Mrs. Zepher Steele, 86 years old, case against p-p will prove futile. But the sense of the matter de mands that it be made anyway. With Glen Christensen on one end of a 100 ft. tape, I went out and measured Main Street the other oth-er day. We found that Main Street is wider, curb to curb, west of Center Cen-ter Street than it is east of it. The width is 92' 7" from Center St. to the east end of town. From Center St. west to the overpass, the width is 107' 2". So, the main business section of Main St., from Center St. to the overpass, being 107' 2", is almost fifteen feet wider than the east section. Obviously, this extra width is enough to allow for 45 degree de-gree parking in the main business district, without unduly restricting the flow of through traffic. I did a little more checking. The p-p lanes are marked by painted lines twelve feet from the curb. And I measured how much room my own car and truck require when parked at 45. My car is of about average length, and my pick-up, on a 127" wheelbase, is a little longer. Well, the car needed about 18 feet from the curb line, and the truck 19 feet. For easy f'guring, assume cars parked at 45 would occupy 20 feet of street space. If p-p is retained east of Center St., there would remain 68' 7" for through traffic, after subtracting the width of both parking lanes. jf 45 degree parking were re-in has received word of three new great-grandchildren.

Ask for "Wlllard's Message" which fully explains this home treatment tree at Baker Pharmacy Many thoughts have gone thru the minds of people all over the world the last five days and most of us end up w th the question, Why? Since Sunday, we will never know unless some new evidence is found. We all. I think, have shed a tear or uttered a silent prayer in sympathy with the Kennedy family. fam-ily. It has touched us all. Things I've enjoyed about the Kennedys being in the White House are: Pres'dent Kennedy's ready wit; his easy way of talking to one or many. I enjoyed the way his hair looked maybe he did comb it in the morning but what it looked like by noon was nobody's no-body's business. I loved the tours when Mrs. Kennedy Ken-nedy would take us oy TV thru the halls and rooms of the White House; her pleas'ng voice when she explained the extent they had to go to, to obtain certain pieces of furniture which were the original origin-al pieces of Great Families who had lived in the White House. This I enjoyed. I loved to hear about their family the trips they took together. I felt sorry when their baby died as did everyone else. And only the other day when young John walked in the hall and said, "I don't have anyone to play with." I was glad Mrs. Kennedy was with the President in Texas, although it was a great shock. They have gone from the White House but the memory lingers on.
