only official government building in
town. Up to now the image hasn’t
been too good.
While no space should be wasted
and no money squandered for unnec-

leson’s City Hall should be as suf-
ficiently attractive to merit respect
from visitors as it is simply fun-
ctional to allow the best work that
can be produced by city employees
and officials using the building.
We could be wrong, but we think

Rough winds stir the sea of life
and the waves of greed and cruelty,
self-seeking and deceit roll the sur-
face water. One reads the black head-
lines and wonders how and why men
and nations can generate so much
friction. One asks why nations’ lead-
ers do not cooperate. One asks why
men elected to public office betray
their trust.
It is easy to grow hard and cynical,
but if one will stop to think, he
will recognize that the basic anchors
still hold and that the lines are
•still taut and strong. The seasons
follow in ryhthmic order. When the
cold winter gives way to the magic
warmth of spring, the resurrection
never fails. Seeds planted in Earth’s
breast grow through the heat of
summer, and in the glory of autumn
man harvests the crop that he planted

The verities of love and kindness,
the security of home and family, the
foundations of belief and trust are
still solid anchors in a
world. /
June and a snow-laden pine in Jan-
uary are both true i
fleeting smile of a child in a cradle
and the warm hand clasp of a friend
are reassurance in a troubled world.
Sometimes we forget that the an- HALL enjoying Lil’ Abner
chors have their hold beneath the
surface. This is an era of the sup-
erficial. But the unseen anchors still
hold. They are the verities - the
foundations of the faith that man
needs. Someday, somehow, we shall
learn that the anchor and the Golden
Rule are all that are needed for a
better world.

The Burleson Star is an independent newspaper published
weekly in the interest of Burleson and adjacent areas by Wayne
Publishing Company, 113 W. Ellison, Burleson, Texas.
Any erroneous reflection upon the integrity and reputation of
any individual or firm will be corrected if brought to the atten-
tion of the editor.
It’s odd that we human beings are
quick to blame animals for being un-
tidy, yet the actual litterbugs in our
community today are PEOPLE 1
People, not hogs, dogs, cats, squir-
rels or chipmunks toss candy or chew-
ing gum wrappers on the street or
strew garbage along our highways and
byways.
Only people mess up our country-
side with debris from a picnic or
a camping out trip.
Only people toss trash out of their
car window when driving along.
Only people dump garbage along
our beautiful lanes and other byways.
Some $500 million in tax money is
spent each year to de-litter high-
ways, city streets, parks, beaches
and other public areas, according to
Keep America Beautiful, Incorpo-
rated.
What a sad waste 1
Not only is this a waste of tax-
payer’s money but it is a terrible
waste in lowered property value. It*
indicates instability and lace of com-
munity spirit. This discourages cus-
tomers from trading in a community.
It scares off prospective industries.
It lessens the pride and discourages
him to be a soldier. —11 Timothy 2:3, 4.

DOING THEI^JSHARE
What Price City Hall?
Determining how much money to
ask the voters for is a very real
problem with which the Burleson City
Council is wrestling in connection with
a proposed new City Hall building.
A referendum a few months ago
showed that a big majority of those
who went to the polls were in favor
of such a new building. The turnout
was fairly light, unfortunately.
The decision has been reached,
however, to build one and now “how
much to spend” is becoming a topic
of mild debate.
Rising costs of construction and
the increased interest rates on bor-
rowed money are additional factors
complicating the situation.
Some of the council members seem
to think that a maximum of $60,000
is all that voters would approve in
a bond election. Some residents have
even said as much in conversations
with city leaders. They say 50 to
60 thousand dollars is enough.
Is it? We wonder.
