Ideas are welcome
to bolster downtown
Ideas should begun flying in greater detail concerning
the Main Street project tn Sulphur Springs after a special
resource team visits the city this wee*. As with any
similar program that is based upon concepts rather than
definitive plans, it may seem that the Main Street prefect
has been slow in getting under way.
There have been developments, of course, and it's un-
fair to expect any type of "over*night" changes to occur.
We can expect, though, for more topics of interest to
reach discussion and development stages after the visit by
the resource team. A repeat of the caution against expect'
ing too much from the program is merited, though There

The Senate demanded that the
(house reduce its postage bill. The
House said no.
So now the Senate has voted St-fl
to double the number of postal patroa
mailings each senator can make from
three to six a year and to eliminate al-
most all other limits. By one estimate
this means the Senate will spend
about tlM million this year on post-
age, a tivetold increase over last year.

indeed THE central business district. At that time there
were three movie theaters, all the automobile dealerships,
the forerunners of today's supermarkets, department
stores and many other retailers. Most of those — now
gone to the malls and other shopping regions — aren't
going to return.
But there is no doubt other significant roles downtown
Sulphur Springs can ftilfiU in future years, other than the
traditional retail center. Perhaps it can become a con-
centration of specialty retail shops that require less square
footage. It can he enhanced as the business center, with
governmental offices and many of the financial in-
stitutions remaining as the core, it might become an en-
tertainment center, with restaurants and other such out-
lets. In posting whatever grades may come out of the
Main Street question, in fairness it should he noted the
health of downtown Sulphur Springs these days is not as
good as it could he.
And we need a good, healthy downtown regardless of
its eventual role.

The role of trash

Littering knows no hounds of

during a busy time.
You are likely to see some high
who eat their food and then toss «
cups and carrying trays—out die______________________
even though a trash barrel is conveniently located nearby
Yriu might write such actions off as those of brash
youngsters who haven't yet comprehended some of the
refinements of good citizenship. Kit look again.
What about the middle-age couple in the pickup truck,
or the new model auto, guilty of the same dung? The en-
gine starts, the vehicle moves and out die window flies
some tresh. which with die aid of die wind is quickly dis-
tributed over a wide area.
Did the kids learn earlier ftom such older folks, or
were the supposedly "more responsible" adults trying to
