Don’t do it. We're Sorry To See Arp Resignation We were sorry, indeed, to see O. D. Arp turn in his resignation at the council m eeting Tuesday night. He is going to be a tough man to replace. It is an unhappy job to fill, because it happens to lx* one of those positions w here you can always m ake enemies, but it is hard to m ake friends. We think, however, th a t A rp m ade a lot of friends during his service to Brookings, and w e’re glad to list ourself in th a t category. Take his work on the zoning commission, and the p lan ing board for example. He did a lot of work in laying out the city's zoning plat, not out of m eanness, but in a sincere effort to help Brookings w eather the storm s th at a growing com m unity has. He laid out the city so th a t in the distant fu tu re industrial areas, business areas, and residential areas will be w here they should, instead of being a hodgepodge, like in some cities we know. N aturally, this is going to m ake somebody mad. People who want to build are concerned only with the present, and think of the fu tu re only abstractly. A rp had too, the usually unpleasant task of having the whole town as his boss, as does anybody working for the city. Mainly, his biggest headche lay in th e fact th a t Brookings was new and is new. The problem of taking a settlem ent, and tu rning into a beautiful, livable city, a re n ’t easy one. We feel th a t Ari> did more than his share in doing just that, and a t the risk of repeating ourselves we w ant to say th at he is going to l>c a hard man to replace.

GARDEN CORNER Geranium Culture Dig the geranium s before frost nips them and leave as much soil as i>ossible clinging to the roots. Lift carefully, pack in boxes and till in between plants and cover roots with peat moss or sand. Store in a cool, dry place C uttings can lx« taken, and rooted in sand or o th er rooting mediums. 11 potted up, when well-rooted, and kept in good growing conditions, they will be ready to set out to bloom for next summer. Primrose Division If the prim roses w ere not divided as soon as they were through blooming, do il now, especially it the clumps have be come overcrowded and bloc med poorly this spring.
