If Newmarket does not get soon on the construction of the long- debated sewage disposal plant town ex pansion and development will literally gag to death on its own effluent Crusad ing Councillor Harold a knight in shining armour that is risking corro sion from the foul vapors of the Holland River has set his sights on the dragon that i3 provincial and federal govern ments In an effort to get the work started the councillor has threatened cajoled entreated and pleaded with gov ernmental departments Our only fear Is that he will tire before he makes an Impression on the slowmoving mechan ism of bureaucracy How do you tell governments that a town is caught up in the stagnation of its own river How do you tell the im personal dragon that no industry will come to Newmarket because it lacks sew age services How do you tell Mr Frost that our town fathers are eager to wel come visiting only so long as the wind is in the right direction In the black plague swept London car ried on the

Geneva to Newmarket but it Is only a matter of a split second The momentous decision as to whether there is or there is not to be a ban on nuclear weapons may never be made are grateful however that the civil defence authorities are taking no chances The choice of Newmarket as a survival centre treated exclusively in the Era and Express last week shows the thoroughness with which a dedicated

car parking prob lems and bigger facilities for making a noise if the evangelical group can still find a congregation and a following then we say good luck to them Theyve pitched their tent in a field
