Newspaper Page TextThis Side j Of Town | BY brenda williamson! Many varied comments have been made and heard regard ing the change in postal service in Butts County. Nearly everyone is in agreement as to the lousy service the postal service provides but local residents are in a turmoil over having their mail route changed. J. M. Washington commented last week when he notified us of his new mailing address that “1 remember when they put me on Route 2.1 was just a little feller and I’m 75 years old now. I’ve been on Route 2 a long, long time.” Other such comments have been made by residents who have long ago settled into the familiar pattern of a certain route. It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Looking on the other side of the coin, post office employees are heard complaining about the addi tional work load and extra hours needed to complete their job. So it’s just one continuous merry-go-round with rising costs and expenses with no readily apparent improvement inservice .... Mrs. Robert W. Grier, Sr. of Indian Springs is instantly liked by those who come in contact with her and is well known in this section for her love for dogs and cats. Sunday, March llth, she became known in another way. She was seated in her recliner at her home and in some manner caught the first finger on her right hand near the chair’s bottom. The first joint of her finger was severed off and upon discovering it she remarked to her houseguest and husband “Hon, find my finger for me.” By nature Mrs. Grier is a fun loving person and is known for her joke making. Because of this her guests and husband thought she was kidding and sat laughing at her. This caused her to quip “Well I’ll find it myself,” which she did. She was rushed to Sylvan Grove Hospital and on to Griffin to the hospital but the doctor was unable to save her finger. Mrs Grier re marked Monday morning that “I’m going to quit playing jokes.” .... The Red Cross Bloodmobile will be here in another few weeks and I trust you have made up your mind to give a pint of blood. The April 2nd visit will have a quota of 138 pints and according to John Billy Long, Blood Recruitment chairman, it is urgent that citizens join hands and unite in an all out effort to reach the goal and perhaps even surpass any amount previously reach ed in our county before. The indifference of people has been a source of concern to bloodmobile workers and it is hoped that the Spring season will spur people on to donate blood at the Armory during the hours of 1-5:30 p.m The professional services of Dr. William Mitchell had never been used by our family until last week when we carried Queenie, our Boxer, to him for surgery. His knowledge and professional service came through with shining colors in handling the excited and nervous Queenie. She’s home now and none the worse for wear.... The problem of uncontrolled dumping along side country roads is once again becoming popular. It appears that some uncon cerned people are using these roads as their own private dumping ground, not caring that people live on these roads and have homes and yards which they strive to keep neat and orderly. It is a disgrace to the society in which we live and laws regarding unlawful dump ing should be strictly enforced so that we as citizens would not have to view this garbage as we drive to and from our homes. The pollution problem has not been in the news as much lately as it once was but it is still a problem and one we must not put aside and ignore. Stand up and let people know you are against this unsightly dumping and other irresponsi ble practices. The time is now! Want Ads Get Results WHERE ECONOMY ORIGINATES IMPORTANT ...FOR YOU!
