No m atter which side of the fence anyone is standing on he will be denounced by the other side. And woe to the fence sitter who tries to ride both sides. We’ve been cajoled, threatened, lost friends and gained friends all during the past six weeks. Our situation is no different from th at of any other citizen who is interested enough in city affairs to state his opinions. The only thing we need right now is more citizens who are not afraid to state their own opinions. * * * Hospital HE EFFORTS which are going on to find com petent adm inis tra to rs for the Ashland Com m unity hospital are very im p o rta n t to th e w elfare of this com m unity.

T Ashland, Ore. • Feb. 8, 1949 Editor News Review I am amazed and gravely con cerned regarding the intensity of feeling aroused in this comm un ity. I have associated myself with the recall m ovem ent because I disapprove of the past actions of the present council and because a recall movem ent is the legiti mate instrum ent of the people to express th at disapproval. I have not at any tim e indulged in per sonalities or vindictiveness. However my right to continue to live in Ashland has been pub licly questioned and I feel ju sti fied in publicly answering this. I realize there are rash, im petu ous people on both sides of this controversy. But I'm wondering if being of a different opinion is sufficient grounds to banish me to Siberia or its equivalent.
