Show Did you ever notice how some people never hear anything but what they want to? Then there are those who are too busy to listen to anything, any-thing, except what they have to fay. There are all kinds some who never stop talking long enough to listen to anything and wouldn't understand anyway. Here at the News we often fall into one cf the above categories, cate-gories, at least for short spells. Often on Tuesday and Wednesday Wednes-day we are so busy trying to Set a paper out that we just are unable to give our full attention to the person or subject they are talking about. In most o these cases, we try to explain the situation and invite th individual in-dividual back at a more opportune oppor-tune time. Once in a while we come across someone who is so bull-headed bull-headed and difficult that he can only see one side, he won't listen to any other side, and gets mad. when you try to point out a legitimate difference. These are the one that get under our skin. They make no effort to understand, to cooperate or be civil. Sometimes they go off mad often they leave us with our temper near the bursting point. The point we're trying to make is to give the other fellow a chance to make his point. If a subject merits discussion at all, surely, it merits hearing both sides. Our letters columns are open for just this purpose. Our editorials best express our own 'feelings; but don't give us that ' old "I'm too busy to listen" or "I'm not interested," because if you do the next time you go looking for a sympathetic ear at the News office you could get the same treatment. One item that many are concerned con-cerned with is how the Centennial Cen-tennial came out financially Until all bills are in and all receipts are turned in, their will be no announcement at all. From the beginning, the Centennial Cen-tennial Committee has been open and abovebcard. Donations from Milford City and the County Commission gave us our start, along with credit extended by local businessmen. Next came donations, large and small from organizations and individuals. Button sales, and many other items which were sold, helped to pay the way as we went. Most organizations have been generous, gener-ous, some are still withholding their funds, even though they could never . have been so successful suc-cessful in their efforts without the boost from the Centennial. o We caution those who are already al-ready splitting the pie before its baked if the Centennial comes up with a deficit, those funds will be tapped as per the Resolution adopted by the Milford Mil-ford City Council, giving the committe complete control of all functions which In any way used the Milford Centennial or capitalized on its crowd for financial fi-nancial gain. So, just because you may have been chairman of a function, and in some way gained control of the purse strings of a particular event, you have no right to spend those profits that belong to the Centennial Committee until un-til that Committee itself releases them. o And the only way that the Centennial Committee will release re-lease any monies, is after all of the debts of Milford 100, Inc. have been settled. And then if their is a profit, everyone who contributed to the Centennial Centen-nial will have an equal voice in how that money will be used. This will be done by vote at a public meeting. So if you're fitting on funds all or part of which belong to the Centennial Centen-nial you better not spend them you could be put in a very embarrassing position, of replacing them. o Unfortunately there were a few organizations who, because they were unwilling to share their profits with the Centennial to help defray costs they didn't jump on the band wagon and take on any project or contribute con-tribute in any way these are the ones we really feel sorry for, since they not only have no profits pro-fits for their organization but if there is anything left, after all bills are paid they won't have a thing to say about how it is spent. |
