DUTY OR PRIVILEGE
There seems to be an ov
erabundance of the feeling
of ‘let George do it’ and
not enough public spirit
edness to go around.
Quite a number of our
citizens voice that opinion
yet do little about it.
In a little less than two
weeks we will have an op
portunity to go to the polls
to exercise our rights as
Americans. Our right to
vote. The right to choose
the officials who are to
guide our municipal destin
ies for the ensuing year.
Shall we just, each of us,
stand back and let George
do the thinking for us, or
do we stand up on our hind
legs and use our mentality
and vote for the men who
we think will do the job
well, in the interests of
the ^community.
We do not, by this, mean
to belittle the excellent ef
forts of the present offic
ials, who have served faith
fully and conscienciously.
We do wish to remind
