O young New Year, fresh with the thrill of spring— Leave me the ways that were my comforting ! LS. » LIFE - Township Ahoy! ONE are the days when the stranger motorist was grumped at by the townlets he traversed. The posted warning from the Selectmen that once baldly threatened him is now, if it survives at all, but a pret- ty inscription in quaint lettering on a pleasant tavern-like signboard of cheer. The suggestion about moder- ating one’s speed is just a well- groomed Old English hint. Even the “Slow Down” notice heralding a school is really an invitation to pause and view the new educational build- ing in its landscape-gardened set- ting. Such hospitality! “Welcome to Quagmere, the Suburb Beautiful.” “This is Sparrowhurst, the Town of Nestling Homes.” “Gumfret Bids You Greeting.” And all in the most refined letters of introduction. Even before one really arrives, the hand of fellowship wields its paint brush.. “You are now approaching Duston, birthplace of Samuel T. Pretzel, inventor of Holeproof Ma- caroni.” History is unfolded by yards and yards. “Here in East Blueberry in 1687 William Longface signed the treaty with Chief Whif- fling Bull, granting the Whoopaloo Indians the right to move on.” But the spirit of the precious past is brought yet more pronouncedly into the present by the indefatigable Ye Oldes—Ye Olde Crumble Inne, Ye Olde Gifte Shoppe, Ye Olde Tea Roome, Ye Olde Bun Parlor. To say that the innocent motorist is wel- comed by them is to put it blandly. He is fairly gobbled. To a person of a different nature this extreme cordiality is discon- certing. He hardly knows how to reciprocate. And even a car has its sensibilities. Fancy a_ Rolls- Royce, with that polished repression which characterizes all Britishers, beset by such importunate affability. Enough to make its radiator boil over! On behalf of both car and master it would be salutary, when visiting strange townships, to carry a tail pennant with a suitable P. P. C. de- vice; so that in departing one might respond to the “You Are Now Leay- ing Wunkchussett” sign by fling- ing back: “Thanks. We are deeply affected.” Es M.
