Query Column.
Why the big dead pine trrr in front
of Met liodist Church can't be rut
down ?
Why pin pens should be allowed in
a city the size of Camden?
Whv we can't have a children's play
ground ?
What has become of the don law.
j and why so many dogs loose on the
| streets?
I In reply to those who perhaps think
the spraying for the white fly did no
irood. as the pests were evident again.
J the League wishes to say that If tin*
spraying hud not been done no green
new growth would have been evident,
! and of course the hundreds of mil
lions of tiles could not be killed with
one spraying when three should have
been given. and would have been given
if time had been allowed. An e\*|>ert
who visited Camden lately said the
League was doing the only thing that
can l>e done and the good work must
be kept up next winter. The League
hopes all citizens whose places were
sprayed will pay for spraying and
help the league get. rid of |H?st.s.
