This is n • reflection on the sheriff's department

want to know what th • sheriff's department gives
Us beyond the servn giv.n by the police depart-

We certainly are not for abolishing the sheriff's

should Ik1 minimized and its duties taken over by
the sheriff s d. paitmcnt in return for th»- county
taxes we pay-
sixty jvr <ent of sheriff and deputy sheriff sal-
aries and fin |>er cent of the cost of their police
cars as well as other costs . .and 100 per <-cnt

it necessary ' Kconomy?

The lack of cooperation between the two agen-

One thing 'O many people forgot. . .Tuba is
also o part ot Swisher County and pays more than
its share of the cost ot operating the county.
S imewhere, sime people got the mistaken idea
that the city is responsible for its operations and
that the j-ounty is responsible only for the rural
areas. Somebody got the mistaken impression that
he ( iuntv commissioners are supposed to bi' farm-
ers We haw nothing against competent farmers

We didn't say it but we will -ay thus—if that

It so hapix'fts that we are a taxpayer, have a
nowsp.ipiT and III • most influential |K*ople in Swish-
er ( aunty behind us
We pulled some information on a state official
on a tel vision ml. mew which almost caused the
old boy to fall out a his s»at. I ater that night, the
aide to this oif i.d came back to the station and
asked a statiot oilii .1 it he had any idea where we
got that infoimation
Th** st ition oiftcial said. " I don't know, he just
dues his horn work
The aide replied. Well, Kaggarly was right
but NiHUi iA knows it except tlx- closest members
of -'s stall
There s information available which would
get ,i nurse', cap in most any ethical hospital.
We've lok n i ti xv lessons from some* of our
more sophisticated newsmen back Fast such as
our friend .lack And t son and the late Drew Pear-
son
Comments made in lounges of den-tors and nur-
ses as well as >to'aes told to out-of-towne-rs and
liH-al patients .sometimes tiaval fast. Don't know,
we might wi de a new book— or wc may drop a fe*w
in this column from time to time. Don't worry
-unless we rang your bell!
Before we do anything, however, we’ne going
to give th* hosp.t.il board on opportunity to get
the mess straightened "u*.
It we'v ■ got onybody to hurt, wv d much rather
it be* the* piTson:ii'l than the* hospital.
After all, we'vv always been proud of our pub-
lte- institutions and we don't want to injure any of
the*m it it can in* ov ide I That hospital is far more
important t > tbi' , iniminity than anyone connected
with it. from top to bottom.
Greatest nix-d out there is a -hoke*-up from
thi* very top to bottom. The eli(|Uc which thinks it
owns it needs to reread the charter.
We ju't don't hove* to put up with what's go-
ing on out there
The* ' hod board got a little hell all the way
from Washington to Australia, via Tulta, b.nk in
19'iooti and *ts -in' were mmor compared with
those of some of the hospital personnel.
It nit a pla, ti vive life, a hospital should
at lead b a (llaie to let life live, certainly not a
plaee* to destroy it.
We h c,*o the board will assume this respon-
sibility. thus robbing us of much of our ammuni-
tion
Hut it won't—they never do. The school board
preferred two yvais ot h II to giving Sam Bry-
an a te.i-on t o in- dtsni -sal even th'Ugh th • su|>-
.'t intcmlcnt had rcc >mm *nded his t* -ebx-tion.
The impottant thing w sn't that Sam lx* i>*taimxl
