Motorists Warned
Of Violations Of
"Sreet Parkina"
On page two of this issue ap-
pears a resolution handed to the
Pilot by a member of the high
way department who prefers to,
remain anonymous, but who was;
emphatic in his statement to |
this paper that people of this!
area must stop angle parking on
the mainstreet, from the entrance
of towm on the north, past the
Hendricks Furniture store.
“We wish you’d publish this
resolution and appeal to the peo-1
pie to stop this violation on their
own acocrd. If they will not, on!
some day, when east expected, i
a state police officer will be here, i
and there may be many fines, i
and some disgruntled people.
“We know’ that your main i
street is wide, perhaps wide i
enough for angle parking, ex-H
cept that it is also a state high-
way, maintained and policed as
such.
“The hazards here are about
the worst in the state, if I may
that blunt. Take your cars parked
along the street at an angle,
narrow the street, until one is
obliged to back out into the lane
of traffic in order to get away
from the curb. Fortunately you
never have had. an accident, and
we hope to keep it that way.”
Some two years ago. the high-
day department renewed markings
for parallel parking on the street.
People, in a hurry, never seemed
to observe these, and once begun
the habit grew* until no regard
is made for the signs.
However, a talk to this highway
department man would convince
that the practice will and must
stop, even at the cost of several
dollars before a police magistrate.

terest here—to make this a better place.

Merchants Aver
Going on the assumption that
“home dollars work best at home”
local merchants have appealed to
people of the area to try to leave
their dollars here in ail possible
ways, not only in Christmas buy
ing, but the remainder of the
year.
Business men of the area, at
great costs in the past four years,
have improved their places of
business and have bought all the
stocks they are able, in older to
meet local demands and wishes.
At the time the Pilot was founded
here in 1946, this was not true—•
stores were not fully stocked—
handicaps were many and almost
too big for the business people at
the time, right after war ration
ing was lifted.
For the past six or more weeks
local merchants have made invi
tations through the columns of
the Pilot, appealing for the local
patronage. These merchants be
lieve firmly that they have about
the best selections that are ob
tainable even in comparison to
larger towns and cities.
Almost without exception, every
business in the area is using up
to double the floor space used as
few as two years ago. A survey of
the area proves this statement.
More expansion is being reveal
ed almost every day. Latest of
w hich is the Hendricks Furniture
Co., which is doubling its floor
space in the new addition under
construction.
Redfield Grocery, upon its com
pletion, has set a pace for the
remainder to follow.
In 1950, just about to close its
books, survey reveals several new’
businesses in the area, all signs
of progress once thought to be
only in the realm of “fanciful
thinking.”

merchants, on this page.
All Aliens Must Be
Registered Soon
According to a statement made
by Goldie V. Smith, local post
master, all aliens residing in the
United States are required, on
Jan. 1, or within ten days, to re
port to the commissioner of nat
uralization.
These cards, said Mrs. Smith,
are available at the local post
offices which will give instructions
to any who may call for them.
Firemen Will Set
Christmas Tree
The annual Christmas tree, un
der sponsorship of the volunteer
firemen of the area, will again
be erected in front of the Central
Building, according to Ed Thorn
ton, on the committee for ar
rangements.
This will spike a rumor to the
contrary, he told the Pilot, Mon
day, while announcing the an
nual Christmas dance, to be held
Dec. 25. probably at the Grange
hall, although that is not certain.
