A Leaf From Somebody’s Book
We see where the student council at Ashland high school has taken
a leaf from their elder's book and have set up a system of keeping the
students informed on events which transpire at student council meet­
ings.
The local folks in Ashland have indicated their desire to know just
what goes on at council meetings too. Thev’ve been appearing in such
numbers at the city council meetings that several enterprising voung
business men about the city are considering requesting a franchise
for the seating concession.
I t’s a good indication in both cases. The youngsters indicate bv their
desire to know what goes on, that when they become citizens of a
municipality they will then also want to know just what goes on.
And the elders, who have been attending the council meetings en
masse here lately, are indicating that they too, realize that it is impor­
tant that they know what it transpiring in their city’s governing body.
On farms established by the U. S. Naval Government on Guam,

Judgment
When it comes, the judgment from the courts concerning the con­
duct of Mayor Tom Williams and the members of the city council
Ashland should do a lot toward clearing up fllic present situation in
city politics.
We’re sure that when its all over, and the cards have been placed
on the table, face up, that there’ll be no discussion between the two
factions.
Everyone involved, both within the elective offices, the appointive
officers and as supporters of either faction should be willing to accept
the court s decision as final, and immediately prepare to get the city
of Ashland back on an even keel.

A Suggestion
To the Mayor and the Common Council of the City of Ashland.
Gentlerrien: Do you suppose it would be fiflting and proper if whenever
there are citizens present in the council chamber, for the mayor, the
recorder, the members of the council, and other city officials to stand
while make a motion, making a speech, or making trouble?
It seems to us that the citizens who attend have to lean way for-
watd to hear, and some day some voter, over-anxious to hear what is
being quietly bandied about the council table, might lean too far for­
ward, slip off his seat, break his coccyx and sue the city for resultant
damage*.
Thi* situation could be avoided, if, whenever there are citizens, or evei$
a citizen, present in the council chambers, you gentlemen would get on
your feet to do your talking.
If there were no citizens present it would scarcely matter. But our
impression is that the folks who are there to li.tcn aren’t hearing too
well and some day someone is going to strain an ear, trying to hear
who made what motion.
