Worthless laws and bloomers on the bicycle beat
The column rails at unfair game laws by the Warren County Fish and Game Protective Association, recounts a February dynamite case that freed four Waynesboro youths after a judge found the statutes unconstitutional. It laments unenforceable rules, criticizes local reps as revenue seekers, and predicts bloomers and diamond frame bikes by season end. It also ponders a free bridge solution and a Warren market plan while noting Nicaragua’s defiance of Britain and a society bicycle fashion debate.
