Turned Out To Be
a Good Break
We had a water main break last
Thursday. Happened early in the
morning—about two am.—and the
first thing most of us knew about
it was when we tried to turn on
the faucets and nothing came out
but a hissing noire.
Nobody was inconvenienced
much though. Repair crew went
right to work —and things were
fixed up in jig time.
Incidentally, the water com
pany got a flood of payments on
overdue btZZa that day. Lots of
“forgetful” folks must have fig
ured they were being warned!
From where I sit, sometimes our
obligations slip our minds. Like
the responsibility we all have to
our communities ... to see that
our neighbors enjoy the right to
decide for themselves how to
work, how to vote, whether or not
to enjoy a bottle of beer. Any
time we “forget” we owe this
right to others, we take a chance
on stopping the flow of tolerance
that makes this country such a
grand place for us to live in.

We want vou to test the power that rocketed

We want you to drive and listen— drive and feel.
