Deiclineof the
Sinai! Town
by Marg Calder
"The =men were ;quite cocky :as they ..stood in the sun
"Let's ego to the city, stock up ,and -have fun
We'll -buy -bye the case an :under one roof
And save lots too, of that we have .proof."
So they did just that for many a year
And from the results never took any fear
Until one day they met once again
standing _uptown just out of the rain.
What's happened 'here!" cried one in -dismay
Their faces were ashen, they had much to •say.
Then .one scratched his -head the :other said laud
"There's no :beer and no .coffee, not =even a crowd;
My wife is real sick :and .right off -her feet
came forsome :drugs, some milk, ;and ;some -meat
The hospital is closed, the grocery stores too.
What in the world are we going to Bio?"
"My .furnace ° is shot -and the plumbing All ,broken .' °
-The other :one. gasped, 1 thought fie was "chokin
:car's a°nsarwreck and my tires are low
1 °need nails and plumber, :and ;there's °no place to go.' °
His friend had his bead right:;down to his chest
•'Were *o bIame,, ° ,he ,muttered,
",On our heads ;it -does fest.
,,WeFpassed this town tori the glimmer of lights
:Bought „stuff :by the car.Iaad..and .took in the sights.
While;all ,.our a ownmerchants just upand dts 1.
The houses-at/It/Imply,. jhe ank's sepailssimsed.
1'11; tell you old boy we're in for ✓atest."
We should. have been ,amarierAnd viiiaer, ° ° they :said.
Then the town :would :.be ,bustling, not half uaodead.'
"It's never too late, we've learned," ° someone :dtd,say .
But forthe foolishness of many 'they'd :all :have to pay.
They parted at last as the wind turned 'cold.
And muttered, "Buy locally, as this story is told."
Kranenbmfg's Butcher Shop opened their doors for business last Wednesday and if the
first few days are any indication, John and his staff are going to be kept busy. Howard
