OUR “NICE” CITY
Sir,—May one express whole-hearted appreciation and accord with Professor Sinclaire in general, if not in detail. He desires elimination of blatant assault on our senses. Oh, for a few harmless, picturesque genuine “flameurs” (not lazy loafers). Did the professor forget Seats for pensioners, old spinsters, bachelors, widows, and widowers, whereon they might indulge the exchange of reminiscences, to say nothing of the gentle art of conversation, to redeem it from extinction, in a so loud-speaking world, where each and all advertise presence or wares, with scarce time to consider beauties vanishing through speed, let alone enjoyable non-spinning lilies. I envy his route and his surroundings on arrival at work. Not all roads lead even near parks; not all factories of learning overlook trees and flower beds.—Yours, etc., , ARBOR DAY. March 5, 1951.
