Show - . ... ' Ruminatiri Roundabout j i In which Ruminator proposes to dream a lot, think as littler as necessary, scatter a few bouquets bou-quets while their objectives are st'll above the sod to enjoy them, and fire a hot-shot now and then while said Ruminator Ruminat-or can enjoy seeing the sparks fly. Eat it up wear it out; Make it do, or do without! A few weexs ago, C. A. Prewitt, one of our subscribers and a member mem-ber cf the Union Pacific dispatching dispatch-ing staff, brought Ruminaitor a copy of the weekly edition of the Emporia' Gazettte, world-known publication edited by the late William Wil-liam Allen White, who died a few days a-go. The death of this re-snected re-snected and widely-quoted editor makes doubly appreciated the courtesy of Mr. Prewitt, who, with his good wife, are friends of the Whites, having lived in Emporia before coming to Milford. Never in a long, long time have so many people cussed so much at a few places in the Milford business busi-ness disti'ict as has been the case during the last ten days. Completely Com-pletely ignoring the ordinance which requires the removal of snow from the sidewalks abutting property, whether rented or otherwise, other-wise, a few establishments have left the walks in front of their places in a condition which would ill become bedridden invalids. And the worst of it has been the fact that some of the most negligent offenders ha've establishments right in the heart of town! For some reason or other, Ruminator Rumi-nator has not been able to get very much excited over the latest revelation of Jap atrocities. The reports, gruesome though they are, are much as what we figured our barve but weakened soldiers were undergoing and as we have repeatedly intimated in this column. We could write quite a story and head it "We Told You So," but are disposed to pass up the rare opportunity at this time, especially especial-ly in view of the fact that we and other parents of service men aTe no longer required to brush shoulders with the Japs that were brought to Milford against the expressed ex-pressed wishes of the people. All the slant-eyes appear to have left this locality we hope for good. If ever anything were needed to keep us constantly irritated, while trying to do the right thing by the public in the matter of rubber aond gasoline rationing, it was to view these toothy slanteyes cruising cruis-ing the streets, highways and canyons with seeming disregard of restrictions forced on our town people or, even worse, to watch them, in front The News office, bra'ke their cars to stops that darned near threw the occupants through the windshield not to mention mistreatment of their tires !
