There's a sign on a bridge crossing the Delaware river, apparently erected by the local businessmen, which reads "Trenton makes, the world takes." Some years back, some newcomer students took it on themselves to break the lighting on part of the sign to make it tell the truth at least after dark, when it read "Trenton akes." Local tradition had the balance of the two line statement of which the businessmen took pride in the first half only, that second stanza was "The world refuses, Trenton uses." Glad you found Trenton, Pete. Must be a comfortable home for you. Bill Vajk learn@chinet
