Neighborhood Business Zone Location Set No. End Residents Select 12 Acres at Plattsburg Ave. Burlington Planning Commission members put up some re-1 slstance last night to designating 12 acres at North and Plattsburg Avenues as the spot for a neighborhood business zone, but gave In.

The 50 or so residents, from a group of 110 voting unofficially, for the first time agreed on a location, this one, and their approval will be the guide to future action, city officials said. The Commission members, William Freeman, Dean George V. Kidder, and Clarence S. Ward had objected temporarily to this site, because, they said, they did not like to designate as 1-A zoning material this area, whose sole owner is James B. Spaulding.

The unanimous show of favoring hands, however, caused them to withdraw objections, for the time being, at least. OTHERS PRESENT Other city officials present included the Board of Aldermen, with Clifford P. Smith, presiding. and the Ordinance Committee. Freeman told the group that approval of this site does not mean that it will be purchased by the city, or that the development will be officially supervised.

At the same time he predicted a period of growth for the North End area, looking forward to a population of 10,000, and stressing long range plans for a new junior high school, a police station, and possible meeting place for city officials. North End residents have already refused to consider a lot of land near the present Thayer Schools, owned by Leonard F. Poirier. During the discussion one citizen of the area charged that North Burlington has not been asked whether they even want a business zone, and lntimatari that the proposal was being shoved down our throats." On the other hand, it was em-pliasized that people north of Ethan Allen Park "need the commercial area near them but that a monopoly should be avoided, lest established businesses be driven out of existence.

For instance were checking the commonly accepted view that women enjoy action comedy more than joke telling, he said. The current rash of piethrowing on television exists because slapstick is supposed to make a girl giggle, he said. The NAG is therefore operating a piethrowing clinic and laugh meters will record the amount of audible response from separate groups of men and women. Theyll also bp tested by having the bottoms of their feet and ribs tickled.

Jokesters from the screen and television will be on hand to tell their newest gags and determine what makes a man laugh when a woman Just stares blankly and vice versa. JOKES ELIMINATED For this test, weve eliminated all smoking caf jokes," Lewis said, on the theory that many women might not get the drift of specialized naughty jokes. The spicy kind girls tell each other in the powder room are crossed off for the same reason. Lewis has divided Jokes into several broad categories, to eef If the test can determine wheth- er there are some situations which appeal more to a man and others more to a woman.

He found that men often guffawed at jokes which had absolutely no point. I don't think thats very funny Lewis frowned.
