the street needing attention ia Maple
avenue. This avenue is the dividing
line between the borough and Antis

thereon, but others, urge council to
get some action snd repair the same.

HOME TOWN THOUGHTS
A town without a group of people
earnestly working to promote its
progress is like a fine automobile
which has run out of gasoline. _
Some people who have forgotten
the home town When they had money
to spend, have found the home town
overlooking them when these folks
wanted  something.
"Let himi now apeak or forever
hold his peace, ,saya the marriage

rpeak to the public through advertising, or hold its peace when it fails to
get its share of trade. V'-*S*S
