Let's Talk It Over By Layah Riggs DOWNTOWN DECATUR is certainly Tidy Town since the police have painted bright new white traffic lines everywhere. It makes us 1 look clean whether we are or not. If only they had brought out the lines for parallel parking so the man or woman at the wheel can see when the car is correctly parked in its little stall, it would be perfect. That would help prevent all this hogging of two spaces. How to prevent it in diagonal parking we don't know, but the violation of that rule is terrific.

"The old saying used to be that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." said Henry Bolz of the Association of Commerce in discussing the need for a program of lucrative work for city boys and girls, like 4-H for rural ones. "But now we find that all play and no work makes Jack a dull boy." Yes. even a bad boy. For work for which money is earned is not only a great educational force.

but a factor in making adults and good citizens out of boys and girls with too much energy and nothing proper to do with it. Some day, someone will start a project for city and town youths like the 4-H for rural youths. and delinquency will drop as it has in rural areas. We can cite the need but cannot Decatur chapter No. 111, Order of the Eastern Star, will have initiation at 7:30 p.
