So the city council of today is
faced with enough serious problems
without being perpetually bothered
with “demands” and “petitions. ’
And we are told that some crazy
folks are even writing anonymous
letters to the mayor! The place for
such communications is the waste

writer hasn’t the guts to sign his or

good friends and a cheerful way of
life not often found in larger cities.
Let’s be thankful for the blessings
we have, and quit worrying.
