The sidewalks for a couple OF weeks
have been a subject of anathema 10 pedes-
trians gesticulating wildly in their I'M
premeditated movements over a body OF
glare ice or drawing one foot, minus a
rubber, out OF the deep cold slush under
lying what looked like a stretch of fair
going Ia travelling up and down the
South Main street hill people have become
as agile as chamois goats in walking sharp
ridges Of ice when a single misstep might
hurl them into a semi-liquid mixture of
uninviung appearance, and have learned
to crawl over places where a fly would
pause to look for a foothold. And yet
there was a nice firm concrete walk only
waiting for a chance to show itself and do
good service in the time Of year when ii is
most needed. A little chopping of ice,
little shoveling of snow, would have
brought 1t into view soon after the break
ing up OF winter began; but no, every body
leaned back and "let nature take il
which is so much easier than to
interfere with an ak or shovel.
