... . - 3 - Forty-six degrees makes you think about planting trees. Let's get busy and plant trees so that when most of our elms and red oaks are gone (which it is predicted they will be), we will still have some trees and shade to enjoy. Country without trees isn't much fun. Ramsey Park Board has started making plans for this spring. They will be placing playground equipment in several area parks with a major park ready by next fall adjacent to the new school. The 'equipment for this park will be furnished by the Ramsey Lions Club. They have had several money-making projects to raise money for this purpose and will be having more. When you can, please support them and help them to help us. There are several organizations in Ramsey which you might like to join, such as the Lions Club, two snowmobile clubs, two saddle clubs, Boy Scouts, 4-H clubs, etc. For further information, please contact Mrs. Schneider at 421-5233. We surely appreciate the help we have received from the residents living around the Peltzer Park. Without their help we would not have had the skating rink there this winter. This summer we hope to have picnic tables, etc. for the young fry and their parents to enjoy. This all takes work and time and we hope we will continue to receive both from the people living in the area of our many parks. This is what the Planning and Zoning Commission has been trying to achiev~is neigh- borhood parks in the true sense of the word, where neighbors can work and play together. We have just acquired an eleven acre park and wild life area about a mile east of County Highway No. 83 on County Highway No. 63. We hope boys and girls in Scouts and 4-H could enjoy and study nature here, as well as, the rest of our co~unity. There is another one pro- posed along Trott Brook, which may some day join the ranks of beautiful park areas in Ramsey. I We are aware that some people have received their newsletter with in- correct names or addresses. If you would like to notify us of a correc- tion, please contact Mrs. Schneider at 421-5233. Also, if you have new neighbors, please urge them to contact Mrs. Schneider so they can receive future newsletters. All mailboxes should be 44 inches high. Before putting up your mailbox you should consult with your mail carrier so as to locate it in a place that will not cause the carrier to get stuck. If snow is not shovelled away from in front of the mail box, the mail will not be delivered. If a carrier spent one minute extra at each stop, with 500 stops he would take more than 24 hours to make his deliveries. Another reminder that we are now required to have a mlnlmum size of 4 inch reflective house numbers that are visible from the street, so that an ambulance or police car can easily find us. With spring cleanup coming, we want to urge everyone to be especially careful about fires and to be on the alert. Also be sure you have fire insurance coverage for the cost of the fire call in case you should have a fire. If you have a special need for burning, be sure to call one of the fire wardens for a permit.
