Community Plan
Is Considered
Key to Survival
Concord, N.H. (UPO Tel
evision aerials and the thun
der of jet engines are among
the 20th Century pressures
which can ruin a community
if they are left uncontrolled.
That's the opinion of Rich
ard Preston, executive direct
or of the New Hampshire
Planning and Development
Commission, who believes
that the key to survival is
community planning.
He compared these eco
nomic pressures to fire.
"Planned use of fire is
fundamental to human exis
tence," he said. "In like man
ner, it takes only common
sense to harness . . . economic
nressures which can over
whelm us today if left to their
own devices.:
Preston said that you do not
have to look far to find these
pressures.
"They are everywhere evi
dent: The ever-increasing car
and truck traffic, the crowd
ed school busses; the tele
vision aerials, the week end
vacation, the thunder of jet
engines.
"These pressures over
whelm our communities, dis
sipate our resources and oc
casion overwhelming fiscal
burdens," he said.
Planning is the way to
make these "pressures" profit
the community, he explained.
Fiscal Knees
Preston said uncontrolled
residential, commercial, indus
trial or recreational expansion
"has brought many a com
munity to its fiscal knees.'
He warned that "a balance
must be arrived at and main
tained."
"This process is called fi
nancial planning or capital
budgeting, but whatever its
technical name, it is just plain
common sense." he said.
"It certainly is not to man's
best interests if his life and
livelihood are threatened by
fire, flood, draught, plague or
hv the forces of progress. In
reeoenition he surrenders cer
tain rights to safeguard
against the more obvious of
these.
"In the forces of progress,
the economic pressures of to
day are opportunities for
greater profit and comfort. In
planning, their utility is as
sured."

In particular, the bride's

The average dowry iwnica

parents) runs Between a.uuu
and 10,000 rupees (roughly
$1,000 to $2,000). There have
been cases where parents have
had to sell all their property
or have fallen victim to usuri
ous money lenders in order to
get together enough money.
. Marriages for the most part
are still arranged by parents
' and participants are not sup
posed to see each other until
the ceremony. A good many
. bridegroms, however, are able
' to sneak a surreptitious look
, at their betrothed in advance.
Consult Astrologers
Once the match has been
arrived at, the parents consult
astrologer's to make sure there
are no crossed stars, follow
ing celestial sanction, a wed
ding date is set.
The actual wedding is a
long (four to five hours), but
colorful affair which may ap
pear to the outsider more cir
cus than ceremony. For one
thine thn hrideeroom usually
arrives on a horse (a mare)
following a noisy brass band.
For another, the bride's resi
dence is decked out with multi-colored
tents and garish
colored lights.
(On particularly auspicious
wedding days, there usually
are shortages of mares, brass
" bands and electricity. Gaily
decorated convertibles are
now tending to replace the
horse.)

of respect. As the Hindu priest

silver coins. The bridegroom

bride remains in seclusion.
Finally the bride and bride
groom are placed on opposite
sides of a curtain while the
priest administers the mar
riage rites. After the curtain
is raised, the couple walks
around a fire three times and
takes the vows of faithfulness.
