Subject came up at Bill Web ster’s, the other day, as we were chatting over beer and pretzels. Just who are the folks who make up our town ? Where’d they come from ? Well, Doc Hollister’s Scotch- English ancestry; Will Dudley's folks were mining stock from Pennsylvania; Skip Powell’s fam ily were brewers back in Holland. Guess our bloodstream's got a bit of every country of the globe— and every section of America. We've still got differences in taste and background—whether they apply to music, history, or beer. Only those differences don’t mattes—because we’re self-respecting people, in a free, united laud. And from where F~sit, that's what makes our towns and cities — our America — so strong, pro gressive, tolerant. Our champion ship of individual liberties has brought us people from all faiths, all lands—to prove that respect for one another’s rights is the greatest bond humanity can know !
