For those who have not driven
through the streets of Tyler des-
ignated as the “Azalea Trail,”
this column wishes to urge that
you do so. This Azalea Trail has
been realized because citizens co-
operated in making their city a
beauty spot.
With enough concentration,
pride and cooperation, our town
could do the same. Already, and
this column does not make this
statement in a braggadocio man-
ner, Kerens is considered by
many as one of the prettiest
small towns in this area. And if
you, as a Kerens citizen, doubt
this statement, drive 'through
towns in this county and nearby
counties. Of course, we do not
mean for you to drive through
Corsicana, we are pointing out
comparisons in towns of like size
to Kerens.
When you start beefing about
Kerens main street, check on
Malakoff, Hubbard, Grapeland,
Dawson, and Kemp’s main
streets, to name a very few.
But to return to pride of home,
as noted in the work put out
on Tyler azaleas . . . what are
some of the problems that keep
many citizens from having beau-
tiful yards—yards that would
make tourists open their eyes—
not lack of effort, we have
plenty of people that are willing
and eager to put out the work,
if they can be relatively sure
that the sweat of their brow is
worth-while. Let’s list a few of
the stumbling blocks to an even
prettier residential section.
| Say It With ... |
FLOWERS I
(1) One of the worst prob-
lems garden lovers have is the
stray dogs that rove Kerens. No
howling please, this writer is a
dog lover. But dogs, in a lesser
degree are like children, if they
are not kept up they sometimes
harm the other man’s property.
If someone complains about your
dog, whom you can’t expect to
have enough sense to stay in his
own back yard without some
type of barrier—it isn’t that fel-
low who is an old grouch, son,
you are the culprit ... do you
want to buy the property next
door? So, okay, you run your
business and let the other fel-
low run his.
(2) Then of course we have
chickens, chickens and then more
chickens. Which is fine and good.
This column likes chicken every
Sunday and you can’t have them
til you grow them . . . but it
tain’t right to grow them on the
neighbor’s yard. If Kerens folks
could cooperate with neighbors
to the extent of keeping their
chickens in their own back yard,
sure would help that garden, lov-
er. We came from Garland,
where they didn’t allow chickens,
in the city limits, nor goats, nor
three headed porcupines — and
weren’t they old meanies! Puts
you in mind of that old saying,
“Everybody’s wrong but me and
thee, and sometimes thee.” It’s
sure hard to be the fellow in the
wrong, hut there’s none of us
that aren’t on the wrong side of
the fence occasionally, through
ignorance, through honest error,
or through plain bull-headedness.
Kerens wouldn’t have to work
very hard to have this whole
town glowing next spring with
that pretty yellow bush—for-
syhia, that dots many yards this
■year . . . and it isn’t a had
idea.
