' (By our Hayfield correspondent) A scientist recently warned that if the atomic bomb Were used the world would revert to the cave -dwelling era. The tax notices this year are enough to turn the eitizens of Hayfield into cave dwellers! But a word to the wise:—If you con- template scooping out a subter- ranean dwelling somewhere, 'go to the hills. Don't choose a spol near the river or the lake, for if the Assessor catches up with you, your holding will be valued at $2 per foot for the former and $5 per foot for the latter. • Even though you cannot see either river or lake from your .abode you'll "pay through the nose" for the privilege of sitting In dust and weeds in either loca- tion (this is what is known as equalization of assessment). And whatever you do, don't have a hardwood plank at the entrance to your underground retreat—it would be too suggestive of polish- ed floors! And don't go in for landscaping—burdocks and nettles grow without cultivation,, make an effective screen, and have medicinal properties into the bargain! And that just reminds" us (we pay so much for education), what has been done in this district to educate Mr. and Mrs. liatin Citi- zen who scorn the idea of cave - dwelling how to protect them- selves in case a real live atoniic bomb were dropped in Huron County? 0.
