It Dawns on us(Continued from page one) find themselves barreling into a funnel when they reach the old section. 15 has passed without the hoped for opening of the new Elm Street bridge, which hinges on delivery of the steel railings. Judging from the number of queries we -have As might be expected, there was considerable voter confusion here on primary election day. Some people who refuse to consult the check or to let themselves be informed by news media either not know what district they voted in or where their polling place was.

A number from District peared at the Armory (District to be reminded 3 had joined's at Green Street School. Despite the well planned setup at Green Street School, which lends itself to two-district voting with a minimum of confusion, there was some confusion because some voters failed to follow directional signs. The usual number of voters called the Town Clerk's office to learn or confirm what district they were in and three such calls were received in The Reformer newsroom. Perhaps there is a continuing need here for some instructive work by the two town committees. "Bee Dashes Bratt Flutist In Mouth." That catchy headline in the Greenfield paper caught us and we read on.

It seems that our own Dick Perry, was stung on the mouth by a bee while playing at the Greenfield Fair Tuesday and had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance for treatment, following which he was released. Even a band player has his occupational hazards. The Greater Vermont Association" has decided not to turn up its nose at the law after all. GVA had announced that those attending the Welcome Center dedication next Friday could turn from the southbound lane of Route 91 to the northbound lane at the state line, an act which costs most drivers $10 and costs. Now the message is that the crossover cannot be used, meaning that Vermonters will have to drive all the way to the Bernardston interchange to get to the Guilford event.

The action of Motor Vehicle Commissioner Malloy in suspending the driver's license of his son for was, of course, highly commendable. It was what many another father would like to do, and with less provocation. While a shortage of horses probably was much more a factor than the explosive probe of rat charges, fact remains the betting handle was down more than $3,000 per program at the recently concluded Hinsdale Raceway meet. Total betting for 103 nights and three daytime events was $10,303,860 for an handle of $97,206. compared with averagem $10,539,836 and $100,379 last year.

Someone asked us if we blew our stack when we discovered the continuation line on our column last week was "Events CARD OF THANKS I want to thank all those who ported me in the Primary Election.

In case you missed it, there was another dandy typo in last Saturday's edition. In a wire story about the sentencing of a soldier for refusing to go to Viet Nam it said the soldier appeared shaken by the sentence, He would have been even more shaken if he had read the next line in The Reformer which said he "was sentenced to ypmbvshrwf." One of the advantages of living in a small town is that your mail usually catches up with you no matter how poorly it is addressed. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Maddock of East Richford, formerly of Norton (she's the former Kate Haus of Brattleboro and he's in the immigration service) received a letter addressed to Mr.

and Mrs. Ed and Kate, Norton, Vermont, with no last name. Since Richford and Norton are not even in the same county, the line communication along the border must be really sharp. Keeping up with former Reformeriters: Dot Pollen of Northfield, now with the Recorder-Gazette in Greenfield, is doing a 15 part series on the Connecticut River titled "The Story of a River." Bernard Streeter, formerly of Keene, now of Nashua, who worked for this paper a short time before going into public relations, lost his bid for GOP nomination to the Executive Council from the 4th District. Streeter carried Cheshire County.

The Town of Salisbury in Addison County has lost stature as a political barometer, having predicted that Tom Hayes would take 52 per cent of Tuesday's vote in his race against Richard Snelling. The poll was conducted by the math department of St. Michael's College. It fractured Salisbury's record of picking a winner in both state and national elections since 1952. Attendance at the Rutland Fair slumped to 70,000 this year as compared with 85,000 last year and in years gone by, causing the Rutland Herald to comment the fair, like the old-fashioned lettering on its weathering signs, gets just a little more shabby and out of date each year.

A fairgoer complained about the same tired exhibits in the same tired places. Over a sports article asking readers to remember when profootball was a sport instead of a slick Madison Avenue package designed to win ratings and sell sponsors products the Claremont Eagle had this head last Friday: "Green Bay-Baltimore Square Off Against Miss America." Looks like the Chrysler Corporation has solved the problem of back seat drivers. The new Imperial has an optional front passenger seat that swivels around to face the rear. That means your wife and her mother can have a face to face talking match blissfully unaware that you are hogging the road. Watching the Clay-Mildenberger bout on tv last Saturday did little to restore our interest in professional boxing, or our faith in the gospel according to Cassius.

Starzel on Viet Panel NEWBURY Frank J. Starzel of Londonderry, who visited Viet Nam in 1965 as a consultant for the U. S. Information Agency and is scheduled to return to Viet Nam later this fall, will be a panelist and speaker at the 10th annual Christian Social Action Workshop sponsored by the Vermont Conference of the United Church of Christ at Atkinson House, Sept. 23-24.
