Good
Manners!
With Christmas nearing —the time when we cele
brate the birth of the Christ child, it might be well to
take stock of our manners — our treatment of others.
This is brought to mind by Nyssa’s upcoming Christ
mas parade Saturday. The merchants are paying for 20
to 25 floats that will appear on Main street, leading the
first appearance of Santa Claus. But the music (instru
mental and choral) will be furnished by the Adrian and
Nyssa school groups.
It is easy to say we pay taxes, support the schools and
they are obligated to support our civic enterprises —
even when they take on a religious aspect as our parade
is to depict.
But are they? It is not a vital part of their education
program — they get no credit for it — and in some cases
it does work a hardship, or at least an inconvenience on
the members entertaining us.
Regardless of how small the group may be — or how
little we appreciate their ability — let us say a kind
word and give them a cheering hand for their effort. (If
only winners were to be approved, Nyssa would have
surrendered most of its athletic program the past year
or so.)
Rudeness can be displayed by being quiet! Cheer
these boys and girls for their effort in our behalf — they
don’t owe it to us!
