Editor,
The Chronicle-Sta
Dear Mr.. King:
Today | received word of one
of the lowest-down tricks ! have
ever heard in my life, that of the
person or persons responsible for
the recent vandalism on Lincoln
avenue. No doubt that party is
one of the newcomers to Pas
cagoula and one that We would
do well to be without. The Gar
den Club and Chamber OF Com
merce and others are to be
commended for the excellent
work they did in that worthy
project. l ONLY wish it were pos
sible to send that party (and all
others like him) over here and
let them flv one time over some
of the FLAX infested' targets.
That might help him appreciate
things that others have done for
the city's good.
l certainly do enjoy all the cop
les of the Chronicle-Star, MI.
King, and through them keep up
with the ole "home town.. Keep
up the good work, especially the
editorials.
Sincerely,
"one who flies in the heavies."
Editors Note: This letter re-
fers to an editorial carried in the
chronicle-Star and Advertiser
concerning the destroying of
shrubs and trees planted along
Lincoln avenue in honor of local
men in the Armed Forces. The
planting was financed through
popular subscription by the Pas
cagoula Garden Club
