�SCHOOL TRAFFIC BEACONS
The City Commission over-ruled
the decision to deny East
Heights'request for traffic
beacons as other schools in
town have.

PICNIC

There will be two beacons on
Fifteenth Street- one east
and one west of Haskell.
They may not be installed
before school starts but they
have been ordered.
Thank you, City Commission,
"School supplies."

Ttie annual MEMBERSHIP picnic will be held at
Brook Creek Park, September 13, at 6:30 pm for
members and prospective members.
Meat and drinks will be furnished. Bring a covered
dish and your table service,Dues for the coming year
may be paid at that time ~o be ahead of Santa's
demands for your $$$s. Remember- no inflation. Dues
are still $1,00. No other representation is so
inexpensive.
Many of you who were former members are no longer
active. Why ? We need youJfor we continue to seek
ways and means to improve our neighborhood and it is
yruethat "in union there is strength... We do not know
your needs if you do not present them and, if your own
needs have been met, don't you owe it to others to
help them meet theirs?
Incidentally, it is doubtful if the following tl1i:ngs
could have been accomplished without our organization:
l.Water mains on Oakhill and Summit
2,Drain pipe at 13th and Brook
3,Drainage ditch at 13th &amp; Brook, rip-rap
and widening
4.Drainage improvements on East 15th

*********
WALKING
There is concern for the safety of those people who
continue to walk in the streets instead of using the
side walks,
We went to great trouble and expense to provide the
walks for the safety of our children on their way
to schools and to the Center,Most of the children
do use the walks but many adults go strolling down
the streets apparently oblivios of the traffic. This
is necessary only when the sidewalks have not been
cleared of snow in winter,

SUNFLOWER JOURNEYS
If you are not familiar with the program
"Sunflower Journeys"which airs on Channel 11, you
are missing out on some interesting programs on
our great state of Kansas and the people who are
doing great things.
The programs are presented on Thursdays at 9p.rn.
and on Saturdays at 5:30 p,m, They last ~ hour.
There have already been three concerning Lawrence.
They are not just historical but are current and
tell about things you might find interesting to
explore on a week-end or just a day's trip.
Tune in sometime!
