THE SENTIMENTAL SIDE
By EDITH BLEZ
I don’t believe I am ever quite as thankful that I live in a small town
as I am at this time of the year.
I suppose Spring is really the most ex-

the cities really do not know what
they are missing. I have often won-
dered if I were asked suddenly to
give three good reasons why I am
so partial to living in a small town
what my answer would be.
Everything you pick
up, you run into some-
thing about A-1 or B-1,
etc. Or if you twist your
dial trying to get away
While men are falling, dying day
and night,
While homes are broken, torn by
one man’s might—
We ask for peace.
As commerce prospers in the name
We sigh for nations struck by fear
Or lusting for the blood of
neighbors.

Around the rural water courses

don’t believe I ever go into the drug
store without “Doc” shouts from the
back where he is always busy, “Hi—
Eddie!” I like the way people poke
their heads out of their cars and
hail me as I pass along the streat.
I like the feeling that I have neigh-
. bors and not just people living next
door. I like the things people do in
small towns. For instance last Sat-
urday afternoon there was a foot-
ball game and I didn’t get there,
but I happened to be on the main
street about three o'clock. It was
difficult to believe that it was the
same street it had been at the same
hour the day before. There wasn’te
a soul stirring. I went into several
stores and the silence in all of them
