JUBILEE: VALLEY OR LEGION?
Additional stress on certain polic
ies established by the Jubilee commit
tee has been urged by General (’hair
man Ken Deaton.
Because of its length Deaton ex
pressed doubt that a substantial num
ber of readers grasped the signifi
cance of these three policies, printed
in the NEWS as a letter to the editor
last week, felt by the Legion to cast
an important new light on activities
relevant to Jubilee planning—both
this year and for Jubilees in the fut
ure.
Of greatest concern to the Jubilee
committee is that the established idea
that the Jubilee is the Legion’s “baby”
be erased. Because the entertainment
of the Jubilee is of equal value to all
persons regardless of organization
affiliation, and because of the favor
able publicity derived by the Valley as
a whole from Jubilee activities and
advertising, the Jubilee should be
considered a Valley project and not
that of a particular organization.
Because the Legion originated
this event, it should not now be penal
ized by making it continue to shoulder
more than its share of the burden of
planning and organization.
The Valley of
Y estery ear
If the Jubilee is to continue as an
event of top-notch entertainment, an
nually drawing thousands into the
Valley over the Labor Day weekend,
the cooperation of every civic-minded
organization in the Valley will be nec
essary.
CITIZEN INTEREST
An appeal by Mayor Salvage and
the NEWS last week paid off in the
largest attendance of townspeople to
visit the twice-monthly council meet
ings 3.50
since the present council and
mayor took office a year and a half
ago.
Although some of the technicalit
ies of the discussion on the water sys
tem’s ailments possibly went above
the heads of those attending most will
undoubtedly feel it was a two hours
well-spent to become familiarized
with some of the problems, if only in
capsule form.
An appeal from the mayor urging
better citizenry attendance every
meeting without special invitation is
an old story to those familiar with
other small town municipal govern
ments. Armchair kibitzing is a popu
lar substitution for active on-the-spot
aid to city officials at their regular
meetings.
Of special value to the council as
a result of this encouraging Monday
night attendance was the consensus
expressed by several that city water
users are getting their water too
cheaply, especially those still without
meters.
This opinion would seem to give
the council a mandate to increase
the rates at an early date. Aid of this
nature in the form of specific recom
mendations on this and other citv
business will further municipal pro
gress when offered by those showing
sufficient interest to attend council
meetings at least occasionally. Let’s
replace the “boresome eightsome”
with a twice-monthly crowd of back
benchers.

Carl Eastman, who is also a veteran

Fortunately, that particular episode
revolved around a courtroom, and
