I do think it's, high time to
;'get some good 'and important
news, news of interest for the
public to read.
Regarding the Bill Board on
' the $ritish American Oil Co, site,
' Ito other people the sign is wond-
erful; it covers up the dirty low
- lot where ellmost anything and
everything can be found over-
night. Blown or throwen in ---I
think it's a grand idea to cover
up the sightly spot in town.
How about putting more Bill
Boards around town such places
where streets that are sightly,
why some streets look like a
Foreign Town hit by a bomb
from the Enemies.
In all have the town cleaned
up for 1950—(Old Boys Week).
So when the Old Boys return.
They may say well done you have
made a good job and how the
old town hes improved from 1900.
Thank you,
This is sny view.
