Show is - 71 7U Our wet spring and summer certainly- has made a bumper crop of weeds in our country and our empty lots and alleys are so filled a person can't see the fences nor yards. Weeds have a way of spreading if nothing is done to combat them. They make a swell place for mosquitos to hatch and live in and the dust and pollen must add to the suffering suf-fering of hay fever victims. The thing that got me thinking think-ing about this weed situation was a conversation I overheard between be-tween a neighbor of mine and a fellow visiting him. This fellow fel-low was in the back- yard and he remarked how terrible it was to have the weeds choking the alley and climbing over the back fence and he ended with, "what's the matter with the city, why don't they do something about it?" J .L I thought that over and it seemed like a good idea, but then who is the city except you and your neighbors and me and my neighbors? Now maybe the weeds in your alley aren't as high and thick as they were in ours (I said were) but these weeds of ours were beginning to come through the fence at us, so I had to do something or let them take over. I got my hoe and spent a little over an hour and cleared all around the fence and half of the alley behind the house and it looked swell. You know what happened? The next Sunday morning my neighbor was out there and he cleaned the other half and now our alley is free of weeds and as far as I'm concerned, the city did it, cause that's us. As a suggestion, why don't you do the same thing to your place and alley and maybe your neighbor will do likewise. It doesn't take much work and sure makes an improvement. For those girls looking toward to-ward the future, I noticed another an-other shipment of cedar chests at McLea's. They are beautiful and are sure to meet all the requirements re-quirements for that hope chest. I also noticed a solid oak dinette set with the new plastic covered chairs and the price was certainly certain-ly reasonable. Their furniture department is the place to get your furniture and their prices axe plenty reasonable. Check for yourself and you'll see I'm right, i Adv. |
