WRONG START
A number of readers have
said, “I’ve been/ waiting to
•see what you would write a-
bout the Plaza.” After driving
around, and walking around a
bit in that area, my thought
is that it got off to a wrong
start.
I liked he origial idea of a
“Plaza”. I thought it could h>‘
useful and attractive. But there
is nothing useful or attractive
about a bunch of screaming kids
when someone is trying to con
centrate on shopping or other
business activities. A blaring
rendition of “Who’s Afraid of
the Big, Bac Wolf" doesn’t
help either.
A playground on the Plaza
might have its place—say on a
Wednesday afternoon when all
the stores are closed. But at
this time of year, it has serv
ed only to cause disgu-t to
many a businessman and shop
per.
I believe and hope that giv
en time, the area will develop
into what it was originally in
tended to be—a quiet place with
benches and trees, perhaps a
little fountain; a restful place,
such as the plaza by Standard
Savings & Loan. I can't remem
ber now who designed that, but
I’ve never seen a lovier sight
than the plaza this fall with
leaves of every' hue and bright
red berries on the holly' bushes.
I haven’t seen the city plaza
since the Christmas tree has
been in place but if the play
ground equipment has been re
moved, and the ( hristmas mus
ic toned down just a little, this
would be more in line with my
idea of what the plaza should
be.
One of the merchants adja
cent to the square had an idea
that I think is worth looking
into. The traffic situation is
confusing—no
doubt about that.
His
idea was
to re-optn
Cald
well
street with just e
nough
room
i for two-way traffic, no
parking in front of the st
ores —
then
to fence
off (Or some way
cut
off) th.
remainder .
if the
souare for a
plaza. This
would
tend
to make
traffic flow
more

Ithly, I believe, and ;

Recent changes
in mailing told
Two recent changes will af
fect this year’s Christmas
mailing.
First, mailers can now' send
20 pound parcels between first
class post offices which are 150
miles or more apart. The pre
vious weight limit was 25
pounds.
Second, there is no longer any
price difference between the
first class and third class mail,
except will) regard to weight.
The penny difference has been
eliminated.
First cla.-s mail i 0 cents per
ounce, w bile t bird class mail s
0 cents for the first two ounces.
"Since most Ghristmas cards
weigh under one ounce, it will
mually co.-t mx cents whether
v u send a < hristmas card 1st
das.-, or did class unsealed,”
R'l-tmaster Moose said today.
"S", unless you’re sending un-
n ually heavy cards, it will be
..dvantageous to send this year’s
< Tristmas card- first-class and
i.c'ivc the forwarding and re-
' ;rn priveleges."
Postmaster Moose e, fimafes
Newberry’s Post Office will pro-
c'-s about 70,000 pounds of
