by the way.. . By DORIS A. SANDERS SPRINGTIME Springtime hue arrived again in Newberry and each year it seems that the city is lovelier. More and more home-owners have become azalea-conscious and on almost every block there is a burst of color. Add ing to the beauty ar<' the col orful dogwood, redbud and oth or flowering shrubs and trees. I am gratified to note that green leaves are showing on “my” maple tree in the new city parking lot. J feared for a while that the construction crews may have ruined the tree, but at least it is coming out this year. City Manager Riebe tells me it will be light ed when the foliage is out. This, as 1 havt said before, is my idea of "beautification.” There are so many homes where the flowers are beauti ful that it would be hard to pick out any one more out standing than others, but there is one in particular 1 would like to m- nt.on, because most of you probably are not m the area enough to -re that is the horn-' of Dr and Mis. ,! E (irant on O'Wal t rvet. Tin- < riants have a lovely brick honv and among the ■ ees on the front yard have • eon planted hundred-' of heau- t ful azaleas. The family spends much time keeping the place neat and trim, and the beauty at this time of year shows the results of their effort s It’s worth a rule out O'Neal to -ee. WHERE IT GOES With intiome tax d-auiim right around the corner, this is a good time to wonder where some of your tax money goes. While many of the give-away programs are obvious, there are others that meak in while nobody is looking. For instance, Rep. Richard I.. Roudebush of Indiana has mentioned a few projects which have been appioved for financing from YOUR tax money. Among these: A $d0,t‘)t)0 research grant by the National Science Found ation for the study of German cockroaches. $10,001) to study phases of Chinese life from the 1-lth to the 17th centuries. $8,7Kb for the stud\ oi csunic strips. $15,000 for pr. para11 OI: of H dictionary of j.oj j u i a r beliefs and ,uperst.te.Ti'. in t he fi.
