The intent of this ordinance is establishment, that is a complito have a dty that is as deanand ment to Kanab. The Richs seem inviting as possible. The intent like' intelligent, respectable is not to embarrass, harass, or people who only want to be able bother people in any way. Nor is to enhance their business by the intent to pit neighbor against serving beer to go with a Mexineighbor.

I told them that, unfortunately, my own lifetime, I have seen this otherwise sound health instruction turn itself into a moral an-cens- es ts issue, that is occasionally surrounded with misinformation, misunderstanding and grand- standing. I agree, sometimes alcohol issues deserve grand- standing. In this case, however, it looks to me, looking from the outside in, that a few people who have the power want the rubber duckie all to themselves, and then mask their stinginess by holding to the banner of righteousness and protection of their neighborhoods.

We dont d have to let our ideals and values be overran or put down, but I do feel we have to at least be fair. I have long admired Dixie Brunner for her courage and ability to speak out and tell it like it is, whether people like it or not I know it isnt an easy ition to be in and she takes a of flak at tifoes for doing so. Maybe when she ruffles our feathers just a little it isnt so much Dixie we are mad at, but at ourselves for our reftisal to grew up, look at ourselves and face the facts.
