BY THE WAY (Continued from page 1) might be enjoyed by humans and many creatures of our environment. “There must be hives of bees living on the place or nearby, for we have had thousands of them to visit our azaleas and blooming plants. They seem to know that they have our good will—they are too busy making a living to hate and fight. We work and live amicably to gether. Every day our neighbors’ pets have visited and shared food and water. Many surplus pets are dumped at the creek bridge by passersby. The pets soon realize that we are the nearest friends and neighbors to the creek so they come for visits and adoption. They, too, are welcome. “Water is a most vital gift to humanity and living things on earth. W r hat a great blessing it would be if the water of Scott’s creek were not polluted and contaminated. If freed from filth and debris, animal and plant life could exist in its waters and its banks could be made beautiful with trees and flowers, birds and animals. “Thanks for the utilization of the water by nature’s evapora tion, vaporization, condensation into clouds and then refreshing rainfall to give pure water to our flowers, vegetables, birds, animals and crops. We cannot enjoy the natural beauty and natural resources as long as there is public misuse and abuse of our Scott's creek. “Next year or any time our yard appears interesting for garden club members and flower lovers, please assure them that they are welcome to circle the driveway, stop and look.” Perhaps the County Beauti fication committee might look into the Scott’s creek situa tion—certainly the city would be made more beautiful and healthful if measures were ta ken to clean it up.
