1» VOLUME XXIII NO. 3 BUSINESS MEN SHOULD USE THESE ADVERTISING COLUMNS AS THEIR MOUTH PIECE. GIVE IT A FARR TRIAL AND BE CONVINCE STREET SCENE HAS CHANGED AGITATORS HAVE DROPPED(?) THE NARROWER MAIN STREET PROPOSITION— INSTEAD WANT WID- ER PAVEMENTS Evidently there was too much op- position to the narrowing of Main street and those in favor of retro- gression (as far as wide streets are concerned) now, want wider side walks. They want more room for pedestrians, and presumably think, let traffic take care of itself as best it can. You don’t hear of any one object- ing to the width of our sidewalks. We are never called upon to pub- lish, wrecks, collisions, or the like that may have occurred thru any of them on Main street being too nar- row. Furthermore, several argue that pedestrians need more room and at thd same time recommend adding four or five feet to the paver ents and planting trees thereon, at the same time leaving the old trees and poles just where they are. How on earth will that benefit the pedes- trian? Mr. and Mrs. Public can't walk on those grass plots and over those trees. Some figure that if the curb is moved out into the street four or five feet it will establish a uniform curb line and the street will look bat- ter. At present our curb line on Main stre»t looks as regular and uniform as one could desire but its the irregular house lines that make it look out of place. To date, whenever a property owner wag given a grade and lines for a curb snd gutter, it was given on a paraliel line with those sbut- ing. Stan! at any corner on Main sireet and Jine up along the 2urb and you will find they are juite uni- form. Ther lineup the house lines and you wi.! find they zigzaz. This accounts for wider pavements at some places than at others. President Fellenbaum stated at the special meeting of council that some side-walks are only 6 to 7 feet wide while others range from that width up to 15 feet or more. Will add- ing to these same sidewalks establish a more regular or uniform curb line? In no way that we can see. ~—if you will measure from the center of Main street toward the curb on either side you will find a slight variance but if you measure Main street from curb to curb from one end of the town to the other, you will find it quite regular Then why not do as Mr. Garber first suggested by a motion at Coun- pil, i e., put down the curbs and gutters where they are at present. It seems to be the impression of Council to leave Main street as it is from Barbara street west some distance just because it is nice and wide, looks fine and the business men there want it but we want to knov .just why ‘those particular tesness men should be shown any prefeionce over others along this same Sta.cte wm Then too, if that part of Main street looks nice because it is wide, why make the remainder of Main street look worse by narrowing it when you favor a town beautiful?

Whiteside, President of Community Chautauquas, in a letter to several prominent citizens of this community in which the date for our Community Chautauqua is given as August 20-24. Mr. Whiteside claims that Community Chautauqua this ceason is indeed “The Sign of Good Times”, referring not only to the normal business prosperity the coun- try enjoys but also the splendid at- tractions and joy times prepared for the Chautauqua this year. The program arranged is one of unusual excellence and is considered by the Community management the best aggregation of musie, lectures and drama ever arranged for the celebration of a Tenth Anniversary. This banner program will be started off on the first night by The Rainbow Sextette of New York City, featuring the Hearrons sisters who enjoy an international reputa- tion as entertainers of the highest rank. The sextette is composed of six charming vocal entertainers of exceptional ability. Each member of the company is an artist doing in- dividual work of high order. Their program includes many charming novelties and costumed selections taken from the latest light opera successes such as, “The March of The Wooden Soldiers”, and Shean” and “Blossom Time.” As a headline novelty feature Community has obtained The Me- Grath Brothers, famous banjo art- ists, assisted by Miss Elizabeth Ott, pianiste and entertainer. This com- pany has been associated for years with the B. F. Kieth Circuits in this country and they have a world wide reputation as the leading exponents of banjo music. Their program is full of vim and spirit, wonderfully interesting and full of variety rang- ing from famous operatic and semi- cassical airs to sweet negro melodies and modern poplar numbers. “The Man Worth While” is the subject of the second night lecture by Dr. Roland A.
