THE PAINTING BEGINS:
The town last week began
the painting of the parking
zones. Next to come will be
the installation of the lights
for pedestrians. The concrete
markers for streets in the res
idential sections have already
been repainted with the flour
eseent paint which reflects
light to make them readable
after dark.
MAIN STREET ROVING
Roger Viverelte is in the
process of moving into his
r,e\v office quarters down on
Sutton street. The block
building adjacent to the oil
tanks will be headquarters,
not only for his office but
for his short wave radio sys
tem. This will leave vacant
the building occupied so long
by Mr. Viverette in the heart
of town.
Across the street in the
window of one of the three
.actions in the process of re
novation there is a sign which
proclaims the Mar-Ric, owned
by Dick Tarbert, Jr., will oc
cupy that part of the building
with his ceramic work and
supplies. One down and two
more to be leased.
The window box in front of
the Gray Eagle has been plant
ed this year with white pet
unias to be bordered in the
front with gay nasturtiums.
How beautiful our downtown
would be if all store fronts
could be so enhanced. The
suggestion has been made that
the appearance would also be
improved more if those who
have awnings would get to
gether and make them all a
hke. Each is attractive, but
in one spot in particular there
are four or five, all different,
side by side—a little uniform
ity would help. Perhaps when
new awnings are needed own
wui give tins some
thought.

Stone Proclaims
Clean- Up- Days,
Lights on way
PROCLAMATION:
Mayor Richard B. Stone has
proclaimed the time between
now and the first day of June
as Community-Clean-Up-Days.
The campaign, now in pro
gress, has been under way
since early spring with more
and more of the downtown
businesses contributing to
ward the success of the ven
ture with beautification of
one kind or another. Now
the idea is spreading into resi
dential district as extra work
is done on lawns and gardens
by individuals.
The town trucks are author
ized to pick up additional
trash during the clean-up
period.
NEW PEDESTRIAN LIGHTS
Improvements now under
way for the town, in addition
to those mentioned elsewhere
in this issue, are the schedul
ed installation of lights for
pedestrians as soon as the
crew from Asheville is free
to do so and with them will
come the timing of the lights
for traffic already installed.
When these two additions
are made traffic will become
one way on Cherry street with
no left turn into that street
from State. This will allevi
ate the long line of cars which
are backed up when the lead
car cannot make a left turn
due to oncoming traffic. En
try into Sutton will then have
to be via Broadway or by
Daugherty, beyond City Hall.
