STREET BENCHES
Editor, The Citizen:

EQltOf, Inc (lIlZen.
l was standing on the Transfer
Corner the other afternoon, wait
ing on a bus to go into town.
While there l found out | had
just missed one and that gave me
around 20 or rs minutes to wait
for the next bus to come.
While waiting, l saw a young
expectant mother Ga stranger in
our town. almost faint from the
long wait standing. A neighbor
took the woman on her porch
and let her rest until the bus
came along.
Won't some of our good mer-
chants out near the Transfer
Corner be generous enough TO
place one or more benches near
the bus stop, so we could rest
our feet while waiting? By do
ing so they would have a good
chance to advertise their buSi-
ness with their names on the
backs of the benches.
l am sure everybody appre-
ciates the nice benches we
have in other parts of our city,
and it would be so nice to have
a few on White street, near the
bus stop.
