BOOST-DON'T KNOCK

The city of B~rookings should GER
tainly be boosted for it's many miles
of shaded walks. On these summer
days when Old Saul is casting his SO
degrees upon us n finds these shad-
ed ways decidedly comfortable.
But then just about the time we get
in the proper frame of mind to praise
the foresight of the pioneer responsible
for those trees being planted along
that particular walk, a limb ~ruthlessly
reaches down and knocks your hat off
in the gutter-and it was a perfectly
a slight check. The second time you
remark about the negligence of some
one in the use of the pruning saw
Then after several blocks of alternate
ly lodging low hanging branches and
picking up your hat, your frame of
mind is certainly out Of tune with all
ideas of boosting.
AS long as this town is so abundant
ly supplied with good shade trees why
not prune off some of those low hang
ing branches hat can in any way in
~terfere with the pleasure or comfort
Of the pedestrians. Make these shade
trees a pleasure instead of a nuisance.
