II - " — - PEOPLE’S VOICE* Our paint and cleanup week has in- 1 ’ deed hail, tile hearty co-operation of all Deeaturites, and when the business ' men will have actuated their intentions of garbing their respective places of business in a new spring I frock of fresh paint, our little City will certainly glitter in radipnf attire. | But. why make white that which is naturally black? I have in mind those beautiful shade trees encircling ' our public square. Who could advise the white-washing of those trees, stand back, view the finished work and voice an honest opinion that it is a pretty and natural effect? No one could earnestly answer in the affirmative. Jt the white-washing were being done tor botanical purposes, or for i the killing Cl insect.* Wit might have I infested the trees, there would and should be no comment, pro or con. ’ Again, how long, or rather how 1 soon, will it be before those white-1 washed tree trunks will be display-, ' ing a soiled amber color occasioned by rain trickling from the upper unwhitewashed boughs and branches? A rusty coat will be quite a contrast to present dreams of an immaculate white. Don't think that I have in view the | expenses incurred by this proposal: such is not true, tor I am not a prop erty holder, consequently no taxpayer and can have no grievance in that regard.
