?t Brady's BLARNEY Br A Mr (MM J. P. Writes a reader about my recent column on water: "Pleaae pass on to Brady my comment that a serious subject, such as last week's. Is certainly less objectionable reading than some of his questionable 'humor ous' topics!" Well now. I must defend my self. I excused myself In that particular column by saying I pre ferred to keep my columns "light and semi-humorous", realizing that what's funny to some isn't to others. Like the fellow said when he kissed the cow, "Every one to his own likes and dislikes!" I do appreciate, however, hear ing the pros and cons from people. At least I know someone reads this column. Now to more serious things. Still on the water vote, which comes up Saturday. Some people say they're going to vote against the water bond issue because the aldermen have "bitten off more than they can chew". This "bite" apparently is the installation of a million gallon per day water filtration plant. If having faith in the future growth of Franklin is biting off more than they can chew then the aldermen are qullty. They reason that it is much more economical to Install a million gal lon plant now than to face adding to a smaller one later as the town grows. This, it would seem is just ROOF PAINT Waterproof ?

E. ENGLISH Expert Repairs on all Farm Equipment Edgewaod Ave. FRANKLIN Dial LA t-MIS good common business sense ? and after all. our aldermen are good businessmen with common sense. Mayor BurrelU for example, would be foolish to order one Chevrolet at ? time for his busi ness when there are a half dozen or more wanting one. Instead, he looks ahead, anticipates the needs of the business, and requests delivery of several new autos. Another aldermen, Dr. J. W. Kahn, doesnt' perform surgery Just to look around and see If anything is amiss Inside a patient. He knows what he's doing before hand. Did Alderman Bill Bryant order a half-dozen hula hoops when the craze was booming here last year? Not on your life. He's a smart businessman and he had enough foresight to order many, many dozens. Where would Aldermen Ezra Shook be today if he pumped only five gallons of gas into his filling station storage tanks instead of filling them up? Does Alderman A. O. Cagle ad vertise a special turkey dinner in his restaurant and begin serving withonly one turkey? Not on your life! He plans ahead. Did Flank L. Henry, Jr., throw up his hands and quit when fire destroyed his building? Sufficient water pressure, you'll recall, prob-| ably could have prevented this stunning loss. Stop just a minute and visualize, if you will, the de vastation had the fire been on either side of Main Street. This alderman knows what it's like to be without water. He lives right below my house and neither dwelling has enough to water the lawn. Prelo Dryman, another alder man. is a level-headed business man who knows the value of planning ahead. So, that's the situation. Can you honestly believe that our aldermen are out to deceive the town in which they make their living; a town that someday will belong to their children and their children's children? Let's face it: These men are only looking to the future and in so doing are trying to provide a crying need for a town that wants to grow, but doesn't quite have enough muscle to pull itself up. How long are we going to watch our young people leave the coun ty and go North for work? As long as we follow the no-progress line of thought, that's how long. Water is an essential item for irospcctive industry. The town FREE $50.00 FREE AUCTION HARRISON BRADLEY FARM In Green Creek Township on State Highways 441 and 23 . . .
