enjoy the news in It to the full however may I make a complaint to you about the printing Ink which you have been using for your paper in the last few weeks After I have read your paper my hands and every place that the paper has come in contact with my clothes etc have been all black from the ink I thought I had dirty hands much to my astonishment so I went and washed them only to realize that the black on my hands was the print rubbing off the newspaper Now how come you can earn all sorts of medals for printing a really good and Interesting paper but use such inferior Ink in doing so We only require the good word to be implanted in our minds not the word transferred to our person LACROSSE players are always popular with cute chicks This doll Harriet Otterbetn was attracted to player

Schmidt explained and I said Yes He assumed this meant Hydro was going to pay for them as well Study The developers pulled out plans for the commission to study explaining that a change in plans also meant installation of two more street lights which would cost per month and maintenance plus buying the lights Owners of houses in the sub division will pay a maintenance fee of per month for painting professional landscaping snow removal and a water fee Mr Berry explained that the sum would go into a common pot which belonged to the people and would be used for repairs and other necessities The fee would be reviewed periodically and lowered If the total was building up higher than need No one has to do a thing outside even the TV outlets are supplied he told surprised commissioners He said there would be a master antenna that one day could be hooked into a cable system that he understood would soon be installed in Acton A start was made on the development in some basements arc in the subfloor nearly finished on them sold Twentyseven of the three and four bedroom units have already been spoken for Mr Berry told the commission They are cheaper than rent he insisted with homes
