525,600 minutes in a year
nirt vou ever reallv think about how long a year is? ...
Z re motveryone knows it's 365 days. But did you realize that a year is
also Tll'monVhs or Twee A year Is 8,760 hours and it's 525.600 minutes and
''IverTtimeTw'get in. hurry this.comlng year, you'lhear yourself say
''EveryTimJaketal timers yours in your pocket. ,.'s everyone's right
,0Wheen youge. TfZ. orTbL, or a difficult situation, do wh.t you should
do: STOP Say, 'Hey. wait iust a second. There's 31,536,000 of 'em n a year, so
nnp more wasted isn't going to hurt.'
Your f riends will probably wonder what you're talking about. Tell them how
many minutes there are in a year. It'll get them thinking.
Wasted time is a cardinal sin for many. But a second or a minute a day to
ponder your own situation is worth your time...and effort.
Think about it. With that many minutes in a year, wasted time seems like
such a slim price to pay for relaxation.
Happy New Year from the Gazette-Times. We'll take a minute today to think
about you. wcp
Help or hinder
Editor,
As this Bicentennial Year wanes all good citizens might
review what they have done to help or possibly hinder their
community during the last twelve months.
Those who score highly in citizenship have been busy, as
they always are. They brought a lasting monument, a
Pioneer Schoolhouse, into the community and restored it to
fine condition. They managed a great County Fair and a
great parad? and rodeo. They supported school programs.
They served on church and civic boards. They backed the
museum and library. They served as volunteer firemen.
They were smilingly pleasant when a prospective dentist or
attorney or new business person visited the area. They
enjoyed activities in all parts of the county.
These good folks kept their homes and yards looking
attractive. They have had lights shining forth recently. They
supported food sales, art shows, school concerts and various
benefits. They cheer faithfully for any Morrow County team.
They take time to visit folks at the hospital and nursing
home. They remember to help with the Neighborhood Center.
They are pleased and proud of much the area offers. Morrow
County is a very nice community because we have so many of
these good citizens.
A much sm-uei number of persons don't score very highly.
They tore down the flag at the fairgrounds. They snatched
colored Christmas light bulbs. They litter the streets of the
towns. They constantly criticize persons who try to build up
the community. They misuse the county and city parks and
throw garbage along the roads.
Some never read this "stupid" newspaper; they hate the
"dumb" schools and think that teachers are worse each year.
They can't serve on committees or boards are too
uninterested or too lazy.
Every week they do most of their buying out of the county
because they don't care to support local merchants. They
laugh at the efforts behind the parades and the county fair.
They never attend church or school functions. They don't
even know or care where the county museum or its libraries
are.
In fact, some of them talk like they are "stuck" in one of
the worst communities in the whole, wide world.
This community, like all other communities, is only what
its citizens make it.
Are you proud of what you have done to help or hinder your
community in 1976? Will you try to score higher next year?
Sincerely,
Justine Weatherford
