T h e most important prol:r !em facing us at this time besides trying to live within our income is bringing our st reets back to normalcy. We plan to receive bids in the very near future covering the repair of the most badly damaged streets. Nature has been most unkind to us the last two years, damaging almost every street m Mariemont
To do a satisfactory job in street repair we need the cooperation of every resi-
dent When a street is resurfaced no one will be allowed to drive on it for a period of at least eight hours This means you will be notified the day before, so you must make arrangements if yo u plan to use your ca r to remove it from your garage and park it on an adjoining street for th is period. The same holds true when returning home. Everyone must stay off the streets being repaired including bicycles. wagons, pedestrians, etc Pleas f Cooperate. Art Davies

The pinnacle came when the New York Times carr ied a story about the Drugstore List on t h e Sunday before the draft Now Jerry gets calls from all over t h e country from people who tell him they've read about him in the Chicago paper, the Dallas paper, etc The list is mailed to subscribers throughout the United States as well as to Germ a ny and Japan. "Currently there are names on the mai ling list that would blow some people's minds," Jerry observes. He characterizes the subscribers as intense football fans, lo t s of sports writers, and p e ople co n nec ted wi th p ro teams.
What's involved in compiling the list? A lot of reading, according t0 Jerry, but not so much time as you'd expect He estimates it ta kes an hour a day over a vear' s time. "It's cheaper than drinking, less frustrating than golf, and generally keeps vou at home," he laughs.
