Babcock. director of high ways for the state, and they have i number of highway questions to clear up with him. THERE IS a lot of talk amon; idults and children about the ?oming of the North Carolina Symphony next month. It's good o know the people are interested ri fine music. LOOK FOR a lot of building t start in and around Franklin jus' as soon as the weather begirt; behaving. , SOMEONE remarked the other r!ay that If things keep going like they have the school children won't have any summer vacation. They'll just take time off to change clothes. j DON'T FORGET about fixing j that drainage problem at the foot 'of Town Hill. One fellow we kno\v is r ally upset ? he was walking I an the . sidewalk when a passing ! car gave him a bath of mud and . water from head to toe. TIME'S A'WASTIN' and work, I on the Indian Mound is long, over due. Just talking will never get I the job done: a job worthy of a 'nr.dmark famous for being tlw "Largest Remaining Indian Mound in North Carolina". LOOK FOR a lot more flying by commercial vehicles in and out of the local airport as the weather gets warmer. Winter this year certainly has kept cobwebs on local planes. IF YOU wonder where the yellow went, some of it could be trying to find a "home" on some of the faded parking lines on the Main Stem. HAVE YOU seen the police car hauling the little parking meter collector to the town office? They use a trailer hitch on the back to keep from lugging the thing around. It's plenty heavy filled with meter change. Fair Meeting A meeting of the Macon County Fair Association has been callod I by the president. Cecil Parker, for 1 !
