USING THE PEOPLE

Small communities are often
cursed with two or more local leaders
whose chief ability lies in using other
people for their own selfish pur-
poses. These individuals always have
smile for fellow when they can
use him or her to pull chestnuts
out of the fire. If in a particular
case, they are unable to do this by
reason of choosing the wrong party
for their calculations, they immedi-
ately declare war and set about to
injure that other by slurs. inuendoes
and various misapplications of words
and actions.
To be able to use other people to
advantage is a good thing when all
parties are benefited but when our
so-called leaders confine the bene-
fits of using other people to them
selves it becomes stumbling block
and rock of offense to many.
