meters Mr McGuire said that he had not heard of it added that Councillor hearing could not be very good and made a suggestion about a hearing aid Councillor said that the reason the meters were in

I made one of my rare visits to town last week You had fore warned me of what to expect but I wasnt prepared for all the changes and was bugeyed with astonishment The water fountain by the post office is gone Of course it had to go there are no horses any more and no one drinks water today not with all the fashion able soft drinks around Yet at rny one k no longer in the current tense as it were It made me sad to see it go The old trough oldfashioned and Victorian in design was an in teresting link with the past Looking at it I used to think of the summers of the early twenties when the roads were sandy gravel either dusty or muddy On a Saturday morning there would be a steady stream of buggies and democrats swing ing around that corner horses canting inwards rattling hooves flying harness creaking The main street used to be lined with gaping rustics ap praising the horses and staring at newcomers Today I doubt if a Zulu in war dress would cause much The town had a delightful smell of cedar in those days like a pulp town but of course cedar OBITUARY Harry March once a popular resident of Newmarket died at Keswick on Friday June at the age of He born in England in Mr March was
