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.
