pose. Later the teacher moved to
Oregon, pruned a fruit farm, and
as late as 1929 Mr.. Parker bought
cherries from him -.
But even before the typewriter
was generally accepted for any type
OF writing, there were those who
couldn't master a legible hand. One
OF these was the author, Sinclair
Lewis. His teacher was Mrs. Frank
Parker, then Miss Cooper. In fact
Lewis was an abominaIble writer as
was James Hendryx whom she also
tried to coax into writing a legfble
hand. Visionary, and somewhat in
dependent in his thought for a
mere stripping, Lewis at that time
displayed some of the genius that
later brought him fame. His teach
er said he was one of the best in
composition. But his writing brot
down upon him the constant coach
ing Of his teacher. But his reply to
her attempts to get him into more
penmanship practice was startlingly
visionary in light of what we now
know. Miss Cooper he said, II
don't have to know that. Stenogra-
pliers will be doing my writing" >.
Whether actually he uses stenogs
OF not we cannot say, but the vision
that lay behind that speech Of his
youth was not idle fancy.

Need More Parking Space

Since the adoption of parallel parking last year.
the need fer parking space has been a constant
problem to members OF the Council and the business
men of the city At the last session of the Community
Club the matter brought before the members
and a committee was appointed to work with the
Council plan to provide adequate parking space
near the business section. Dewey OGara, chairman
of the committee, has plan which feasible if the
necessary space can be obtained. His plan is to OBJ
tain lease of lands north of the Schmidt Produce
Co., at the rear of the Simmer Blacksmith shop, the
Jersey Dairy and the Lee apartments, and install
lights for night parking If this be arranged it is
estimated that additional space for the parking of
$50 cars will be obtained 1t is worthwhile sugges
ton and should be considered.
