Hulls July the month of Independence Day and Bastille Day ( July U lh i bid you know that the Key to the Bastille is in America7 The French gave it to Thomas Jefferson when he was ambassador to France Americans were pretty eictied about the French Revolution when it was going on there were rallies with guillotines and effigies of Marte Aniionetie John Marshall the first Supreme Court Chief Justice was not too happy about a bunch of mobs in America supporting mob rule in France we were a young nation and just eipenm entm g with freedom Liberty Equality and Fraternity were nice thoughts but weren l really spelled out in our constitution ( White male land owners were the only people allowed to vole ) This month we welcome the humble Ms Sally home from the wilds of France with a full sketch pad Mar & Rory take us to Jolly Olde England for the first of a three part series We conclude the Bill Clunie short story We take off for the Country Fair And the hits |ust keep coming We are pleased to announce (he much awaited growth of the Edge1 Yes1 We are going to TWENTY pages in August"1 Thanks to the Coast Range Association we will be including a four page insert on issues relaud to the coast range in both the August and September issues If any of our advertisers would like to support this effort with an upgraded ad or a new ad it will help preserve the Coast Range Association s limited budget Never watch Ulevision while you are depressed advice from your beloved rev The Professor would say that sentence could be shortened to three words but we believe that television like any drug can be used with relative safety if you monitor the dosage very carefully Your beloved rev has a smalt black and white in his bedroom and a old lube color in the living room It is the black and white that watches the Cubs and the news both somewhat depressing in themselves Rhino Quits1 We couldn t believe it but we could understand that to some people the game is more important than the money personal dignity improves your quality of life more than a few e ilra million Being Republican we do not celebrate our poverty or disparage the good fortunes of others but there ofUn comes a lime when the money owns the person This brings us strangely to health care On M cneil/Lehrer ( 7) they did a piece called Who speaks for the Doctors about the AMA and attitudes among the Medical community about Health Care We were struck by a young Emergency Room Doctor who supports the Canadian Style system He said the situation is now that he has to ask Who s your regular Doctor7 What is the name of your insurance Co 7" "What hospital do you belong at and how can I get you there7 and to himself How am I going to get paid for the work I m doing h ere7 Instead of. Where does it h u rt7 and How can I help you7” Which brings us again strangely to a piece on Nurses in Nam The price they are still paying physically (agent Orange does nasty things to babies) mentally and socially makes one think we are going to need a bigger wall in Washington DC And finally the television was turned off when one more Sports Hero went down and the media cannibals devoured one of their own When it comes to the Entertainment industry to quote Her Maiesty Oueen Victoria We are not amused " Dear Edge On Thursday June 2nd the lovely pink tressed porcelain complected Sarah Miscue Our Lady of the l attes and companion to labradors Mayu and I took a nasty fall from the Broadway Bridge, which spans the Willamette River thereby in cu rrin g greatly discomforting damage mildly insightful wisdom and dauntmgly gargantuan expense To help alleviate her financial burden a trust has been established in her name at all branches of the Bank of Astoria Also an Art Auction benefit is scheduled for Saturday July U)th at the Cannon Beach Chamber building at 7 30 pm Many fine works have been donated by artists and collectors Please attend News from Manzanita Creative Arts Council Wednesday Evening After Hours is in full swing presenting Denise Ayres violinist on July 13th Love Letters North Coast Readers Theatre directed by Edna Pa*, kard July 20lh all begming at 7pm and some non Wednesday events like Thursday July 21 7pm Mask Making for kids of all ages which continues Saturday July 23 with an ail day workshop This all takes place at Osborne Studio and Gallery in Manzanita and cost S5/J3 SO for students or J 30 for season tickets Once again the Osborne family adds beauty and |oy to our lives here on the edge 'Surgeon General s Warning Cigarette smoke contains Carbon Monoxide " Will anyone dispute the fact that Auto exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide7 Will anyone dispute that though 25« of adults smoke, 991 drive cars7 Will anyone dispute that a gallon of gasoline produces more Carbon Monoxide than a carton of cigarettes when burned? No one we know of has locked themselves in a garage and started smoking cigarettes in an attempt to commit suicide (Tes, we are killing ourselves, we just aren't in as big a hurry as everyone else ) So, if everyone is so concerned about our health, let's see some labels on the trunks of cars, and some higher taxes on gasoline, before we consider a new era of prohibition If we can have absolute information on dosage of nicotine, additives, and health risks, if we can have, as others have called for, a ban on the advertising of tobacco (and you can add alcohol), if we can eliminate the subsidies we pay the legal drug industry with taxpayers money, if we can as a society encourage a healthy lifestyle, but also tolerate the weaknesses of our members, and not throw anyone in jail in the meantime, we have a good chance of eliminating a lot of problems we now face Then we can get down to concentrating on the damned infernal combustion engine before it is too late On occasion business is a litt le slow in the bookstore and we get a lit t le s illy we recently found evidence of this when a gentleman pointed out that we had priced "The Songwriters Market" at " $3 50 or it could be yours for a song" He chose the la tte r price and allowed as how since the beloved reverend s voice is not capable of s in g in g we c o u ld p u b lis h it in s te a d it is called "For Rosemary' and goes like this.
