A Needed Improvement
Painy weather always brinsrs to mind the ques
tion of how much longer will the parking strips
between sidewalk and curb along Main street go
unpaved. When one sees a car drive up to the
curb and the occupants attempt to negotiate the
stretch between curb and walk without getting
their feet wet it causes some wonderment regard
ing our civic pride.
The time may not be far distant when many
of our boys will be returning home frnn battl
fields. They will have seen death and destruction
on every hand. Nothing will be more soothing to
their war-weary eyes than the sight of home
the old home town. Every improvement will be as
balm to their eyes. They will be proud to know
that while the home folks were backing them in
the service they also were carrying on at home. It
will give them more faith in the cause for which
they were fighting.
Let's put a little more finish on Main street;
repair some of the bad spots on the other streets
and ?ive our little city a name for being progres
sive and modern. As to the curb question, it would
not require materials and labor in sufficient
amount to place it in postwar improvement plans.
It could be done now if property owners can only
see their way clear to have it done. It goes with
out saving that people coming to town to trade
would appreciate this particular improvement.

there would be a battle royal but
none of it turned out that way. We
actually went within 80 miles of
the main land but the Japs didn't
