BY THE WAY
(Continued from page 1)
Quite frankly, I use that
block of McKibben Street, go
ing to Main, frequently and it
will be a nuisance to me to have
that block one way. However, I
DID NOT oppose it when an
overall plan for one-way traffic
for the city was proposed. Some
councilman (I don’t recognize
all these voices yet) made the
statement that if a shopping
center were to open near the
city, the stores in town would
be vacant. That is so right.
When merchants refuse to go
along with a plan to make it
EASIER for people to shop in
the city, of course they are go
ing to look elsewhere.
If this council wants to
make a name for itself, it might
as well decide right now to
quit nit-picking and really go
to work to find out what will
help the MAJORITY of New
berry voters and taxpayers.
DESERVED TRIBUTE
A party was given last Fri
day night by the Mayor, Coun
cil and interested friends to
honor retired Mayor Ernest H.
Layton. It was a lovely affair,
and to climax the evening, a
beautiful color television was
presented to the former Mayor
and Mrs. Layton.
There are many people (and
I’m among them) who took is
sue Avith Ernest Layton about
various things while he served
the city as councilman and as
Mayor. No governing officer
ever pleases everybody all the
time. But one thing I can say:
no other official of this city
has ever given the time or done
as much for the city as Ernest
Layton has during his tenure of
office. One not closely associat
ed with the office has no idea
of the time required to run it.
It isn’t just a matter of a coun
cil meeting one a month. That
would be easy. It would be my
bet that not many days have
passed during the past four or
five years that SOMETHING
was done by Mr. Layton in his
capacity as Mayor, for he serv
ed during the “growth period”
of the city and many, many con-

I believe the ex-Mayor was
