Everyone is probably aware
of the fact that any time you
have something “different”
happening in the community,
people become aroused and we
hear many kinds of comments
and criticisms from them. This
is true in almost any walk of
life. And we’d like to hasten to
say that this is good.
People should become arous-
ed when something happens in
their community. And they
should express themselves
about matters. Only when peo-
ple express themselves freely
in our democratic society can
we expect that their best in-
terests will be fulfilled.
So now, when we hear so
much about the proposed City-
County Park, it is a healthy
situation that exists which finds
people giving expression to
their opinions and personal
views.
