THE ERA WED JULY 19G8 VOL 117 NO Editorials Keep it flowing The towns decision to hold a meeting last week to inform down town Newmarket residents and taxpayers of how the proposed Urban Renewal Scheme will affect them was an excellent idea And Mayor Drew Doak said there would be more meetings But these meetings should not be restricted to those directly- affected by the Scheme Meetings should be held to permit all taxpayers to ask questions and voice opinions regarding the Scheme The Era has and will continue to publish reports of the meetings and all pertinent information supplied by the town But this is just a one way street the information is in print and the reader is unable to ask It is therefore essential that public meetings be held so that the public can ask questions of the planners and voice opinions to the coun- This became evident test week when the planners were asked specific questions pertaining to specific properties One of these dealt with the question of whether or not present store return to their former location once the- Scheme was com- Planner that thm under the present set- up but that he would consult with Central Mortgage and Housing to see if a policy could be worked out to assure retailers of 1 site of their choice This question seemed to be the crux of last weeks meeting that present Main St merchants will not be shoved into any location a developer might want to place them This is an important question and town council should take every step to insure merchants are not shoved aside at the whim of a developer Only through meetings and a steady flow of information will a tran quil transition from dilapidation to a modern mall take place Charge them Once again complaints of beer drinking on Main raised in Newmarket Council Aside from wondering where they are gutting the one won ders why people choose to stand or sit in cars on Main St to drink beer One also Im- public beer dj inking is open how the towns police force misses it Police obviously cant search every occupied car they see parked on Main St Or can they frisk everyone they see leaning against a building But if it Is so flagrant as some people claim they can watch for this illegal beer drinking charge the offenders bring thorn to court and let the court decide what to do with them hopefully treat them harshly That will put a atop to Main St beer drinking flagrant or other- SUGAR SPICE By Bill Smiley The limbs of life This is being written before the national election And theres no thing more exhilarating than go ing out on a limb It begins when youre very little when you eat a worm to see if really stay alive inside you or pick up a toad to see whether youll wind up covered with warts Later it might be climbing out on a long shaky tree limb over a deep pool when you cant swim Or if might be caught up in a tree shirt Muffed with apples while the soke of Cm J thun ders from beneath Come down ye little I know up here and Ill whale the tar out of ye and the put ye away life Or it might be caught in the through backyards and over fences with the cobs dropping and your heart thumping and the shotgun going off Into the sky Or it might about age mokmg with the in the jungle beside the railway tracks and having a drunk with a gallon of wine come up and start terrifying you with all sorts of obscenities you dont understand Or it might be about and spotted like a hyena with pim ples having to ask a girl to a party knowing that you are the most repulsive awkward booby in town This Is a pollen limb to be It could be saying Dont you say that about my mother to the bully of your age and sailing Into him yourself outweighed 20 pouuda but your fists mid feel and teeth going like a windmill Or it could be a swimmingly exhilarating moment like the day when I was in high school and kissed my Ilench tenth up in an apple tree She was a spinster anil six years older than I but If recall it was a swooning and I think we bold wound up hanging by our knees from the limb These are some of ilu- limbs Ive been out on or other limbs Youve had yours round limbs crooked limbs rotten Unit ones We have all gone out on a When youre young you dont really know the difference or you just dont care Its climbing out on the thing that matters at I was climbing out on a limb trying desperately to make the grade as a fighter pilot fire and be killed What an iro Those who didnt make It were it hearted And then theres the limb of Mfjsl males will climb out on the first limb that is on- with long eyelashes or trim ankles or a big bust though they know its a very green one or brittle urn out they go I was lucky The limb I out on was but yielding green but not brittle And I damn soon discovered that when you climbed out on that However what I started out to say was that as we get older we climb out on shorter and shorter safer and safer limbs until we are finally Ml trunk even though were two feet off the ground and dipped The placed by the limbs of safely and conformity and security and enough life insurance And the sad pail is llmi are the limbs we wnnl our chil dren to dim mil dm mi than two feet from the trunk and no higher than two feel from he ground While they waul climb on the swinging limbs that will sail Idem to the skies or break and lei them fall All this of course is pream ble the fact that Im slid will im lo go out
