Some of the specific spiration. The Among the systems shown were alarms to ring in the Sheriff's office Issues and Answers EDITORIAL One of the common fallacies of man is that he waits until the rains come and the roof leaks before he begins a repair job that should have been done months before. We tend to consider our various levels of government in much the same manner. We wait until the burgeoning giant finally threatens our existence, and especially our pocketbooks, before we finally take action that should have been taken years ago. The fact that inflation is finally hitting us hard enough to hurt, high interest rates have curbed our buying power and the economy in general affected this years election more than any other thing. People are finally beginning to awaken to the fact that there is no free lunch and are saying no more to the big spenders who believe the cureall for society is more government spending. The most healthy sign of a turn around in peoples attitudes came Monday night when more than 80 people came to a hastily-calle- d meeting to express their feelings on high water, power and sewer rates along with other city policies. The arrival of utility bills last week was no doubt what sparked this sudden in- place to begin halting unnecessary government spending is definitely on the home front where we have close ties with our elected officials. But before we chomp down on our city officials who are also dealing with the same problems of inflation as the people they serve, we should ask ourselves a few questions. Like, Where was I when the city was setting the budget in June and expenditures for all departments were approved? Only a handful of citizens at disorders that he works with are articulation Mr. Hepworth is a (unclear speech), stut- trained audiologist as voice well as speech therapist. tering, and in- As such, he administers coherent spoken hearing tests in the language, He also helps ..schools, provides services children who have speech 'lb children' who wear defects due to organic hearing and aids, causes such as cleft provides parents of palate and tongue thrust. hearing impaired children with information regarding medical and educational help which is available.

Also, Where was I when council meetings were held? The council meets twice monthly ; and again, only a handful of people ever attend. And, Why have I not taken the time to review the citys financial report which is available at city hall? City records, inminutes, audits and all sorts of formation are open to the public five days each week, yet only a few take time to look through these records to find out what is really going on. City officials have made all kinds of information easily accessible to the people of the community, including published notification of public hearings and city audits; and yet, only a few people show much interest. Perhaps if more people really cared, they would understand why the council isnt running the city like it did 50 years ago or even 20. The meeting Monday night, hopefully, is a turn around from apathy even though some of the most chronic complainers refused to serve on the committee or become actively involved. Those who accepted should be commended because they do care enough to do something. The real question, however, is do we really want to go back to the good old days; or, are we willing to pay for our modern way of life? Shifting the burden from one pocket to another is not the answer. PLEASANT VALLEY BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY MEETING 10 A.IX ' TEMPORARILY MEETING AT THE MT.
