fence gave it a barry appearance,
and we had looked at it so long
that anything for change was
for the better. BY the way, did
you know the hotel is being re.
painted and repapered, and are.
touched, and first thing we know
it will look like an entirely new
place. MIR. Edison is a man whC
does. things.
Of course your eye is on the
park. That park is the life Of
this place. 1t is the breathing
spot Of Alamogordo, as we'll a,
the-prettiest place in the South,
west. How dearly do we love
trees, grass and flowers, lakes
and running water! 1t puts us
back in Natures's garden from
whence we started; put new life
in our makeup, and causes Q
smile of happiness to abide by
us through the warm days oi
summer. God bless our park!
