Show Calling all boys 13-15 who like to play ball, to sign up for Milford's Senior Division LitUe League, while there is still plenty of room. Little League President, Mrs. Barbara Mayer says a few boys are needed to fill out the teams and get the season under way. Max Price, Lio.ns grounds chairman for their fourth annual an-nual Race Meet, June 23-24, says it's time that horse owners begin to think about vacating t) stalls and getting them ready and in condition for the coming meet. Wednesday being press day, we were unable to attend the public hearing on the rezoning of Pine Creek Interchange on 1-15. And at press time did not hear the outcome of the proceedings. pro-ceedings. We were aware of a number of petitions both pro and con on the issue and were gratified that several hundred signatures in the Milford area supported our views of last week's editorial. We do hope that the magnitude of these signatures will serve as a guiding guid-ing influence in the Commissioners Commis-sioners decision. These signatures, which were gathered without coercion, over a two day period, should by, far outweigh the seventeen signatures sig-natures on the two petitions which were in opposition to the zoning and which we know to have been gotten with the extreme pressures which can be brought to bear on some people. o Unfortunately, not all of the signatures, on the petitions for rezoning of Pine Creek were delivered to the County Commissioners. Com-missioners. Those who signed the petitions in Minersville were denied their voice, simply because, someone walked off with the petition and it was not to be found when it was to be collected Tuesday evening. o There is no proof as yet of any foul play, though it is very unlikely that it walked off by itself. In our opinion, it only proves that those who wish to defeat this proposal for rezoning will stoop to no end to get their way even to depriving some citizens of their right to a voice. o This country and the democratic demo-cratic system thrive upon different dif-ferent opinions and disagreements, disagree-ments, but in order that all is not chaos, there must be a certain cer-tain amount of fair play. Whether this petition for rezoning re-zoning passes, as we feel it, must, and obviously a large majority agrees with us, judging judg-ing from the signatures on the petitions and the phone calls and comment we have heard since our last editorial, we are disheartened, to think that a group of otherwise intelligent and law abiding citizens, would stoop to the level of stealing the opposition's petitions, in order that they might win by default, as they have done in the past. o Fortunately, several hundred signatures did get sent to the Commissioners, in support of a vote for rezoning of the Pine Creek Interchange, so the culprits cul-prits succeeded only in showing show-ing their true colors. They are not willing to live under a system sys-tem of majority rule they want their way regardless of how many others they hurt. Always around Memorial Day we receive complaints on vandalism at the cemetery. Part of this is due to the increased in-creased attention on the cemetery ceme-tery at this time of year. Part is due to the fact that with the added flowers, flags, baskets and stands, there is more to vandalize. Several young people were apprehended, breaking and mutilating mu-tilating flags put out by organizations or-ganizations t honor their late members and veterans. These young ladies, were too young to really know the seriousness of the offense. Unfortunately they were released without their parents being notified, which does little to improve on the situation. If you should catch a youngster in the act of vandalism, he or she should be turned over to the city mar-shall mar-shall who will inturn see that Continued on Page Six HERE'S MORE ABOUT JUST BETWEEN their parents know the seriousness serious-ness of the offense, before releasing re-leasing them. The burden of responsibility rests upon the parent. o Another complaint on the cemetery is that flowers had to be removed so soon after Memorial Day. This was partially par-tially due to drought conditions which kept the city crew from getting the lawn in shape before be-fore Medorial Day, and a fear that if water was not soon put back on the lawn, it would take years to overcome the loss. |
