Show OUR COUNTY COMMISSION We chanced to drop in to the County Commissioner's meeting last Friday and observed at first hand how our new County Commissioners work. We feel that the county coun-ty is in good hands, and that all three of the commissioners commission-ers will work for the county as a whole, to the best of their abilities. Commissioner Chairman Jefferson .is an old hand now and will direct the board with decisiveness and fairness, we are sure. Commissioners Eyre and Harris, are new to (the game of politics, and it shows. They have not learned yet, that there is no nice or easy way to say no. They will learn this fast, or spend many more hours than necessary in their chambers. All three are capable of evaluating a situation and making up their own minds, as to what is best for each situation, and then sticking to their guns, regardless of what outside pressures may be brought against them. We hope that they continue to show this attitude throughout their terms of office. We admit that it probably is not the best way to further a political career because the ones who tend to get elected to higher offices are more prone to ride the fence, and say what they think people want to hear. Personally, we'd rather know where a man stands, and be able to count on it, this way you know who to back and who you are opposing. There are few straightforward straight-forward politicians left in the world fortunately, I believe be-lieve we have three in Beaver County. Red PASSING THOUGHT: With the Commissioners wrestling wrest-ling with providing a new jail and thinking of building a new courthouse Maybe the Milford Industrial Foundation Founda-tion should offer them the ATT building for a new court- house it would make a nice one, and cheap too !
