The only excuse a countypap has
for its existence is to disseminate in
formation and to broadcast local, state
and national news. And the editor
works hard and long to do that very
thing. Did you ever stop to think that
if all the happenings in your COM
munity are not reported in the various
letters, that it is partly your fault?
In the case of the Park, where winter
residents are more or less widely
separated and the streets and side
walks necessarily in. bad condition,
calling" and social intercourse Is
somewhat restricted. Especially dur
ing bad and stormy weather about the
only meeting places are the stores
and postoffice. This. writer will vel
come items concerning happenings in
this community. Those living else
where in the winter like to know what
is going on here and are disappointed
when but few items are reported.
Just ring ITO if you know of anything
of interest. We would like to know
what you know so that other people
may know what we know.

Letters have been received at the

the town authorities have been active
in the matter and report that no

not believe any thing of the nature
will again occur. Organization and
