The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-12-18
Just Won't Believe Him

Earlier this week Mayor Vincent A. Scully took time out from his busy rou- tine to deny once again the rumor that he is planning to vacate his official post and become a member of the legal staff of one of our industrial plants. His pres ent plans call for busy year in l943, what with the strenuous details that go with the management of a city like Waterbury in times of war. A long time ago the mayor indicated that he'd sec the lob through to which he was elected by the voters of this city. We doubt very much if he'll go back on this word.
 It must be a bit disconcerting to be confronted regularly with the necessity of explaining ones plans in life. However, public life being what 1t is, officials come to the point where they are more or less immune to the inquiries that are made of them as to what, why, when, and where their future course Of action We don't think that the rumors of political upheavals in Waterbury will rest despite the mayors attempt to assure everyone of his intentions
 It only goes to prove that people like rumors, they often prefer to roll their tongues around an idly-eXpressed thought or story than to come out and deny them. Perhaps the rumor has some purpose in human relationships, but we have yet to find out what or where. In this particp- lar instance the rumor has merely pro- vided idle comment among the curious, at the same time perhaps embarrassing those involved or at least causing them some annoyance Would that we could silence 1t, but we know it's virtually i'm possible to do so.
