DearJSditor;
Being able to look on thi bright
aide of things is a great asset.
For/exanjgle, a rouble of year*

trolling the streets and highways during
•t ti»e holiday season. One wreck spoiled
an otherwise perfect record, but took
nothing from the high praise due our
officers for their wofk. ^ ,
A word cah be said, too, for the
city’3 firemen, who stood by through the
holidays, ready’ for the worst but. for-
tunately, not having to cope with it.
Numerous other public servants also
were busy, but in a different sort of
way. They were running for 0 f f i c e.

merit districts vote on members of their
bor-ds of directors this month.
And that brings to mind something
we can be absolutely sure of about 1956:
There is going to be election after elec-
tion and if vou haven’t already done so,
please get down and pay your poll tax
.... right away. If you wait, you not only
will wind up standing in a long line but
also add unneCtfSHhriiy to the burdens
of the overworked people in the office
of Tax Assessor-Collector Fred Force.
An important omen of what’s ahead
for the county in 1956 turned up in re-
ports of the three banks, which disclos-
ed a hig jump in deposits during the
past 12 months.
Another showed up in the form of
the opening of a branch office here by
the George J. Schaumburg engineering
firm and a thin! in the announcement
that the Cooper-Decker organization is
going to ptjt up a new professional of-
fice building on 7th St.
