Many Things Can Change A two-day ses. ion of the Nyssa city council last week was virtually an open "trial” at which the accusers and the accused faced a public court. There were no decisions rendered nor were any verdicts handed down, but numer ous accusations were left dangling in mid-air. Actually, Major Thomas Jones was the original de fendant, hut proceedings developed into a three-ring circus that made defendants of every member of the city council and the entire citizenry of Nyssa. W e can sa c here that every councilman to a mdn han dled himself like a statesman. The mayor was present at only the Tuesday night meeting. For the record, it should be mentioned that Tom Jones was named mayor of Nyssa last January by the flip of a coin after the council was divided 3 to 3 in its choice for mayor. At last Wednesday’s afternoon session, he re ceived a 1 to 2 vote of confidence. The mayor has made some mistakes. The city council as a unit has made some mistakes. If there hadn’t been mis takes there would have been no need of these men spend ing their time each month taking care of the city s in terests to the best of their ability. In the first place, Nyssa’s present and previous coun cils have made no more errors and very probably less— than any town of less than 25,000 population. These men serve with no remuneration, they all have businesses or jobs and thev have little or no time to study all the intri cate details >f parliamentary procedure, municipal law — and politics There have been times when it was necas- sary to cut corners, just like any governing body does, to expedite matters of minor and major importance. In some cases thev have not followed the letter of the law, either because of their lack >f understanding or because they believed no harm would result in accomplishing some thing in a hurry. They, as individuals and as a governing board, might be wise in weighing every action they take because of the forces forever ready to make an issue of some insignifi cant incident that might lead to embarrassment, just like the unpleasant experiences last week Quiti a few of Nyssa’s citizens had a reawakening last week and w e can’t resist the comment that it was about time! This newspaper might have been at fault on several occasions when it was thought that deferment of some of the gruesome details of city affairs would do the pub lic no good and was not actually news Just why intelligent people will believe some of the ridiculous rumors that have been spread cannot be un derstood There is no i >ubt that the Rainbows Rooms, which continues to enter any discussion about Nyssa, is an issue in one form or another, and may or may not be a contributing factor to the current unpleasantries. W e have no quarrel with the police departments, either present or past, or with the municipal court. From a newspaper's viewpoint they have all been cooperative. W.th some of the policie of all three, we have disagreed. A minor grievance we 1 ave had is that the city police and the municipal court h .ve been somewhat careless with thei: arrest and o o r t records, which has made it «rabarrassin.; for themselves, the city council and for us. I' »houl 1 t e noted that t ■ caieiessness referred to is no more serious than that <t any private business, includ ing our own, in keeping records The difference lies in the fact that the records are those of Ny s.sa’s citizens and people they invo.
