Most of us who attended
the open meeting at the school, Tuesday
evening, came away with a feeling of
frustration. We had hoped for an opport
unity of obtaining funds with which to
build a water system for the community.
From the standpoint of an offer of
help to a undeveloped community, it was
a keen disappointment.
The setup of the system was explained
to the last detail, then we were as good as
told that it wasn't for us in our poor
financial condition.
It reminded us of a dog race where they
put a fake rabbit out in front of the dogs
to urge them on to greater speed.
'e were advised that we might be able to
help ourselves, provided we incorporated
into a city, thereby giving us a chance to
bond ourselves, to raise the necessary funds.
We might be forced, at some future time
to go overboard for such a program, but it
will he a bitter pill to swallow and one that
should be taken only as a last resort.

" "hen America was dis
covered the Indian was running
the country. In spite of not
levying any taxes, they were
not in debt and furthermore
the women did all the work.
And to think the poor dumb
white mar has tried to improve
a system like that!.... Art Benson
