Pag* 2A-nNCS MOUNTAIN HEHALD-Thurwlay. April I. 1M2 Destruction Is A Big Sad To lha aditor: While taking a walk uptown Sunday I couldn’t help but notice the destruction done to the mini park on Mountain Street not as a result of the high winds over the week-end but the works of hippies and hoodlums. The benches were moved, slats torn from the benches and piled up in a pile, the usual amount of trash, liquor bottles. It is a bit sad since the benches were used by the senior citizens to spend a little time sitting and talking. The re^ sad part is how tax payers’ money can be used to build such things and let them be destroyed. Horae* Walk*r King* Mountain Spring...A Wonderful Musical Note To th* •dltor; Spring...What a wonderful musical note. There’s nothing quite like the soft touch and breath of a fresh morn ing air of spring. To watch the sparkling as of diamonds on the early morning dew as the sunlight shines upon the morning dew. Such beauty to behold. Dogwoods blossoming, tulips in their assorted colors of cu|>-shaped designs. Life takes on a new meaning. Winter has vanished into the past until autumn and fall again burst forth with its radiant and assorted colors of leaves. Spring..What a wonderful musical note.
