PACTS AND FON
nr NOUA FOIID
Wednesday was the dead-
lines for announcing for school
trustees and city officials. Lit-
tle interest is shown in local
politics. It seems that1 citizens
don't want to take the respon-
sibilities incured by serving
the public. Perhaps we could
be of service by cooperating
with those we elect to repre-
sent us. Of course we should
try to elect those whom we
know to be best qualified and
the most reliable.
Jcannie (Mrs. Bobby) Hill
stopped her car stepped out
and rushed into a cafe one day
last week and when she return-
ed to her car the door was
locked. She was forced to walk
home for another sot of car
keys. Her favorite pet Suzee
the French poodle had locked
her mistress out but even
'Suzee wasn't too happy about
it!
Claude Wilson of Arizona

timely -situation?
