It's Spring and with that comes
mowing.
With this in mind, the City of
Alvin's Inspection Department has
issued a reminder to citizens that a
new mowing ordinance became
effective on Feb. 18.
This ordinance requires that
citizens keep their grass mowed
down to 9 inches within the first 50
feet of frontage and the first 25 feet
on the sides.
The ordinance also requires that
the property be mowed to the
curbside or to most ditch lines. In
addition, the entire property must
be mowed at least two times a year,
Marge Bryant, of the Inspections
Department, said.
In addition, under this new
ordinance the City is only required
to send the property owner one
warning by Registered Mail.
"This ordinance will help make
Alvin a more beautiful place by
keeping yards mowed and edged,"
Bryant added.
For further information, you may
contact the Inspections Department
at 388-4273.

As the radiant glow from the
Olympic torch slowly fades into
memory, our thoughts inevitably
turn to peace. Peace among
cultures, among civilizations, and
among mankind. As a people, we
are finally beginning to realize that
in order to survive, we must work
together. We must strive for peace,
understanding, compassion, and
harmony. We have no choice.
American Intercultural Student
Exchange (AISE)) is an
organization which is dedicated to
tearing down the walls of cultural
intolerance and ignorance, and
replacing these walls with a new,
sturdy framework of enlightened
individuals who arc prepared to
enter the twenty-first century with
an unobstructed view of the world
in which they live.
Each year, thousands of American
families participate in this program
by inviting a high school student
from another country into their
homes for a school year. The
students, aged 15 to 18, arc eagerly
awaiting host families for the 1994-
95 school year. AISE, in
conjunction with offices in over 30
countries around the world, has
instituted this program to serve as a
healing force between the many
differing cultures of the world.

"It is our responsibility as
Americans to confront the
monumental problem of
intolerance, and combat it with
knowledge," explained Belinda
Biron, Director of Marketing for the
non-profit organization.
Perhaps AISE's goals are best
summed up in the words of Martin
Lsen, a former Danish student who
participated in this enlightening
program: "Let us hope that people
will learn to look upon each other
as humans, as equals, and that we
will learn to look upon other
