The trees were planted in the tree lawn on Shaw ave., west of the under pass, and they were damaged by being twisted and bent. It’s mighty discouraging when sin cere effort is being made to make and keep this city attrac tive. This weekend would be grand time to clear all correspondence from your desk for August 1st, you know, is the day post age goes up a penny on letters, and postcards. Listening in to the Monday night’s Ruble War broadcast one can’t but conclude that, if ever there has been a time in the history of the United States since the days of ’76 when every citizen needs to be alert, it is now. We have taken our freedom, our opportunities, our comfort of living so much for granted that we have become complacent as to our citizen ship responsibilities. It’s high time to get down to brass tacks, to sacrifice if necessary, to keep our freedom light burning. 1 Northeastern Ohioans are becoming adept at rushing about between showers in this very wet summer. The day without some rain fall is as rare as the poet’s day in June. Responding to fire alarms this week, the department checked up the following causes for the “no damage” instances! I) two pieces burned toast, 2) two over browned weiners, 3) one child plus matches. But the full complement rushes to the scene since it’s the first few minutes that too often deter mines the extent of damages. “Always Cal! Us” is the de partment request.

We discussed a United Europe, and we had dif ferences on everything. The Dutch are known to be out spoken.” The same topic came up dur ing an interview when a re porter called. His viewpoint was that Americans are not more materialistic, but simply more cautious. He said this was a false impression held by for eigners, just as Americans think of wooden shoes and bag gy pants as being common to Holland.
