For those of you who are ask
ing, "What is this Kaleidoscope
bit 2" let us hasten to explain
We're attempting to fill in fol
your regular reporter, Miss Berg
as she enjoys a well-deserved va
cation. You can never fully ap.
preciate the excellent job she
has done of reporting communi
ty news and promoting projects
until you try to do the job she
has done.
In discussing how she plans to
spend her vacation, Miss Berg
felt the anecdote about the ole
New England farmer was most
like her own attitude.
In deciding what he would dc
with the first free time he had
had in years, the old man paused
and finally drawled, "The first
week I'm just going to sit and
the second week l might rock.
In addition to adding our con.
gratulations to the list of those
who have commended the police
department for the outstanding
job it has done in behalf of traf-
fic safety, we want you people
to know that the department has
acted to improve traffic condi-
tions at Belvoir and Hillsboro.
Early this week we noted that
the ironic safety signs had been
removed and that the weeds,
which contributed their share of
confusion to the corner, were
cut. Chief of Police H. S.
Weaver has promised that a
full investigation Of the traffic
problem in that section will be
completed within the next two
weeks.
Already we've heard many
sighs of relief from motorists
who have dreaded driving
through Lannert Park as the city
officially calls the Hillsboror-
Belvoir section. They repeatedly
plead that a life should not be
the cost of obtaining . traffic
signal.
In cace you've been looking
the other way, City HALL is being
beautified. The ground adjacent
to the new building front is be-
ing Handicapped and the last re-
mains of the builders tools have
been carted off of the city's front
yard.
One advantage Of having a
kaleidoscope, in case you've never
given it serious consideration be-
fore, is the variety of changing
scenes. AS lovely as it may be,
we don't necessarily confine our
selves to Our Town.
In keeping with that senti-
ment, we wonder if there really
is q person named Hal Chadwick
who is repeatedly credited with
saying the cleverest things in the
most catchy and succinct man.
ner. His witty tidbits appear
most regularly in "The Saturday
Evening Post" 1t seems in days
gone by that many such gems of
wisdom were attributed to a.
character known simply as An
onymous.
Who can pass the vacant field
with the large sign bearing the
name Lakeview Cemetery and the
thought provoking message,
''One Hundred Acres for Future
development" without musing?
Along the same line, is the
chiding sign next to a grave yard
drive which states simply, EN-
trance Only"
One of the saddest stories we
remember coming across in the
police reports lin another coun-
ty) was that complaint made
matter-of- f-factly by a mother
about her own teenage son. She
had remarked, and did not have
custody of her children. When
the 16-year old boy came over
she called the sheriff's office to
remove him from the premises
because she Didn't want him
hanging around" Sadder still is
that this is not an isolated case.
Similar reports come across
many police desks every week
throughout the country. Quite 81
revelation!
