driveway. Their word is the
law and since you, the tax
payers, are called upon to dig
up any money they may feel
inclined to spend, you have
a perfect right to question at
length, these men and women
who are willing to sacrifice
talent to serve you for the
their time and spend their
magnificent salary of So 90
per month.
If a candidate for alderman
hesitated to answer frankly
and freely, any question the
"dere peepul" see fit to pro-
pound to him on the subject
of one-way streets or any
other subject that affects you,
your neighbors and your
fellow-townsmen, you should
know 1t In time to select an
other horse to ride.
A very famous doctor once
said that we ARE what we
eat. We all know people who
no doubt, eat too many nuts
That is no reflection on any
one of the candidates for al
derman. They are all top
flight ladies and gentlemen
but, even the cream of the
crop sometimes partake too
heavily of nuts.
It all boils. down to this,
my friends, don't buy a pig
in a poke. After all, it is your
money that will be spent and
you and your family that must
live under any laws that they
might feel inclined to inflict.

you are voting.

der a dealers tag must be in
spected, as well as without
a valid inspection sticker.
Vehicles inspected and APP
proved by a qualified agency
in another state may be &C
copied by the Commissioner
without another inspection.
Exempt vehicles in clu d e
farm vehicles not normally
used on public highways and
trailers, semi-trailers, pole
trailers and mobile homes or
house trailers if the gross
weight of the vehicle and load
combined is 5000 pounds or
less. All U. S. Government
owned and operated vehicles
and those certified by and SUBJ
ject to regulations and periodic
inspections of the Interstate
Commerce Commission are also

The five items that passen-
ger cars must be inspected for
are brakes, lights, steering,
tires and windshield wiper.
Taking them indiv dually,
brakes will be checked for

direct our affairs, assess our

next four years, Four years is
a long time in which to be
sorry.
Most of us get terribly con-
cerned over some relief pro-
ject that the President of the

some other seaport, but never
give a thought to the five
members of the board who
have it within their power
(and often use IT'D to do most
everything for, and to us ex-

course, they leave the tab for
us to pick up.
Some of us are inclined to
vote for a man because his
wife was gracious enough to
refuse to out-bid our wife at
a Rock party last Wednesday
afternoon. or because he was
thoughtful enough to ask us
how our Uncle Joe, who broke
his leg last summer, is get

Well folks-the board of al
derman exercises more power
over your everyday affairs
than you might think. They
can even tell you that you
must drive in only one di-
rection when you pull out Of
your own driveway and if you
do otherwise, you have vio-
lated a law, (passed of course
by the board). 1 have refer
ence to one-way streets which
is sure to come up at some
time in the near future. They
can pass a city ordinance re-
stricting the sale of a fire

course, by the board. They
can tell you what time to
close your store on Saturday
or any other night. They can
cracker in Tchula. In fact it is
make you close your store on
Sunday.
They decide when your gar
bage is to be collected or
whether it is collected at all.
The board of alderman sets
the water rates, but that Is
not all. they also set the tax
rate on your property as well
as the valuation.
The mayor and board of al
derman can have a big hand
in identifying our town or
they can let it go to the dogs.
If you think you need better
fire-fighting equipment in
Tchula, the board will decide
that for you, but they will al
so let you pay for it in higher
taxes. The only representation
you have in your local
government is vested in your
mayor and board of alder
man.
They decide when and if
your streets are cleaned and
even have the authority to
place street and corner lights
or discontinue them.
In fact, they are the town
fathers. They can cause you
to be put in Jail for shooting
