MjEy E’RE REMINDED of the story of the
W w young child who had not spoken until
the rather advanced age of three. When asked
why, he replied that “until now, everything was
okay.” Perhaps this explains the apparent lack
of candidates for school, city and hospital board
elections this year. Maybe the consensus is that
things are running smoothly, and there are no
battles to be fought.
If that is the case, certainly we can agree that
Canadian is eryoying a rare and hard-won era of
peace in its local government.
Our fear is that this reluctance to step forward
is representative of a general malaise or am-
bivalence toward public service. If this is the
case, it is a matter of great concern to us, and
should be to you.
In the absence of controversy and discontent,
we have the potential for planning and produc-
tivity far beyond what is otherwise possible. And
if ever we were faced with a need for careful
planning, it is now.
Our schools are facing the possibility of a
reduction of tax dollars available for building and
growth. The proposed constitutional amendment
to be voted on May 1 would allow recapture and
redistribution of this school district’s ad valorem
taxes to other school districts. If the amendment
is passed, the work of our school trustees will be
more difficult, and the need for qualified, con-
cerned citizens to represent the best interests of
every child in Canadian will be that much
greater. Not an easy job, but a vital one...and
what better way to serve this community than to
serve its children?
Hemphill County Hospital is enjoying a
period of stability and relative prosperity. As was
illustrated in the recent auditor’s report, the
hospital has made the necessary shift in today’s
health care field from an emphasis on in-patient
care to out-patient services, such as physical
therapy, home health care, lab and X-ray and
emergency medical services. By adjusting its
focus, it continues to meet the needs of this area.
With careful planning, and insight into the fu-
ture of health care in this country, the hospital
can continue to perform a vital role in Hemphill
County. The members of the hospital board face
the difficult task of planning in the rapidly-
changing field of health care. But the success of
this hospital’s programs is testimony to the con-
tinued need for its services. If you have a com-
mittment to this area and to this community...if
you have family and friends here...if you own or
are employed by a business in this county...you
also have a committment to and need for this
hospital. And your involvement as a member of
the board of directors is an affirmation of that
committment.
The City Council has just embarked on a
series of workshops for the purpose of long-term
city planning. The scope of that planning is wide
and diverse. It ranges from economic develop-
ment to solid waste disposal, and will have an
immediate and far-reaching impact on the
prosperity of and resources available to this com-
munity. It is a job which requires some vision for
the future, as well as some tolerance for the
everyday business of running a city. This council
has begun to break ground in its efforts to
promote cooperation with the County and with
the Hospital District—the success of which will
directly effect what we are able to do with the
resources available to us. If you live in this city,
pay its taxes, use its streets and parks and water,
you have every right to represent its citizens on
the City Council. And if you love Canadian, and
want to see it grow and prosper, you have every
reason to become involved in its city government.
Our future—the future of our schools and
hospital and city—is in each of our hands. Let
them be active hands. Let them be raised. Let
them be counted.
