worry so when we send a child out the
door to their first day of school?
WISHFUL THINKING
"Why can't you walk down the main
street like everyone else?" My spouse
has been asking me for years. I admit
to using the side streets and back
walkways or alleys in each town we've
ever lived in, but I do keep walking. As
of lately there seem to be more and
more folk congregating in the area
between the bank parking lot and the
back of the fire house. I just wishso-
meone would look into the matter,
it may be quite harmless but then

Christmas Lights'
Funds' Goal Near
A drive seeking $10,000 for the pur-
chase of new Christmas decorations
for downtown Charles Town is only
$300 short of the goal, it was announc-
ed today.
The current collection total is $9,700
which will be used for the purchase of
new white lights for some 55 trees in
the downtown area along with the
necessary rewiring to handle the
lights.
Merchants, service organizations
and community residents have been
quite generous in regard to the holiday
effort. Campaign officials noted the
lights have already been ordered, but
merchants wishing to utilize the same
type of lights may purchase them for
$8 a box. Those wishing to order the
lights should contact Bill Chesley at
J.C. Penney Company.
Additionally, Geraldine Wlllingham,
who is the chairman for the November
26 Christmas parade at 4 p.m., an-
nounced the theme for the event as
"Christmas-A-Glow," in keeping with
the initial use of the new lights.

City Council
Session Brief
The Charles Town City Council held

A request from Dixie-Narco to

Street into a parking area was
granted.
Councilman William Kline was ap-
pointed to a special committee in-
vestigating a complaint of a local con -
tractor, Charles Ross. Kline was nam-
ed to replace Ed Braxton, who has
recently been hospitalized.
It was also agreed that on Monday,
October 17, council will entertain a
presentation from the Walter H. Davis
Company of Cleveland, Ohio, dealing.
with possible updating of the city,
codes.
The present code, according to City
Manager Robert Cain, dates back to
1968 and requires revision.
