Dear Editor,
So young lady Shelton has grow-
cd tip! Now the boy friend is a
I gentlenmn (growed up too, I
guess).
When this correct gentleman
calls in the form of visitors on
this very correct lady in the form
of Shelton, he must not be shock-
ed by the word Raih'oad Avenue.
The old man in the form of us
stump ranchers, etc., must be rele-
gated down by the vinegar Works.
Our ragged clothesand ancient
vehicles will no longer be welcome
:on this fancy named Boulevard,
because it will no longer be dom-
inated by happy smiling people,
especially the ladies---rather im-
l)eceable gentlemen with the still
beautiful ladies ( ad Shelton
al)ounds wit.h them) frowning
:sternly over their breastworks at
us ragged loggers, stump ranch-
iers, oyster diggers, what have
you !
There is" very real romance in
the mere word Railroad. Witness
the popularity of the song "Down
By The Raih'oad Tracks" as
Frank Crnmit' sang it.
They can't use the parlor, can't
:afford a car; now we are telling
them they can't hold hands on
Raih'oad kvenue, because Railroad
Avenue is some kind of a fancy
boulevard wlere everybody is col
reel- -whatever correct is.
The only objection I have to
Railroad Avenue is not the name
but the lights. I strongly advise
the sweet young thing not to be
seen on that avenue, or boule-
yard, after' dark because when her
face is bathed in the green glow
coming from them poles she will
look like a corpse of some 40
years vintage. Certainly One Ran

I remember some 50 years ago
when I was a youngster there N ......... lb. 49*
was a movement on foot to change
the name of Arkansaw. Sponsors
believed that because it was spell-
ed Arkansas it should be so pro-
nounced. I dimly remember my
parents talking about a speech by
some old egg who wound up his
remarks with the words, "Change
the name of Arkansaw? Hells fire
no!"
For my money it's still Arkan-
saw! And I certainly hope it's
still Railroad Avenue.
If the name must change why
not Ghost Alley, or Macbre Drive,
:or correct those lights. Invite the
merchants to doll up, light up
!their shops and call it White Way.
Railroad Avenue is best if it
would only be possible to get hold
of an expended logging locomotive
and set it up some place.
