 Dear PC Friend, Thank your for your card. Have you any 
churches in your fine city?  This is one of the streets in the
 little burg I live in.  It is just across the river from Cincinnati, 
Ohio, and not a very large place.  Alice Culter

The Dayton, Ky. Civic League met Monday.  The question of corresponding with residents of Newport, Bellevue and Dayton, relative to replacing shade trees on the streets which were destroyed by the recent storm was discussed.  It was decided to recommend that the trees be of uniform size and of one kind, planted to form a continuous avenue from Newport to the extreme end of Dayton.
