'That** Why Ws Have Spring Training'
AULT two questions ooncera-
v his tin hosptel reached me
yesterday. One: "Why hat UM
hospital site been changod frail

OtUqil' the mayor and ban is
U». Conway's reply, "n* ut*
haa never been definitely set
If we get federal aid then they
must approve the site. We have
dlseuseed the Leg Ian park site bat
must welt far approval before
making a final decision."
Well, that sounds reasonable
and when I stop to think that
most of the water which drains
Into Legion park lake oomas from
wator ihsd at that and of the
park it does appear that the
skilled eye of an engineer might
detect a water heaard which
would be costly to eradicate.
“Why are absentee ballots not
Issued for this election?”
Mr. J. L. Pitman, secretary of
the county election board pro*
vldoe the following answer: “The
law doesn't provide for absentee
voting in special city elections.’1

Corruption In high places is the exception, not the rule. The forces
of righteousness are better organised than ever before. Vigilance Is
still needed. If good men will not eerve In public office bad men will.
