EDITORIALS I . ~ ■ ...»—' .■ ■'' RUMOR vs. FACT ' At what stage of the game does a rumor become a fact? And again, how often are so-called facts merely rumors? That's not always an easy question to answer. A thin line sometimes makes the difference and there are also examples of each being as far apart as the banks of the Mississippi river. This division or lack of division gives us some degree of concern at times, and this is one of those time. In our weekly quest of news, it is not uncommon to uncover a seemingly multitude of so-called rumors, many of which have the appearance of ' hottips." Naturally. we increase the volume of our antenna-sen-sitive ears, and baby our 20-20 visioned eyes in hopes of uncovering more about this ' hot-tip" that Jim Smith tossed in our dirz ection. Our hatting average in unearthing the tip and making a factual news' story from it is about so-so. It would, in our estimation take a decided leap if we could but crystal ball some of the activities in this area which have been in progress for some time now. ' v W* have in mind the exploratory work of certain oil companies and their mysterious prodding into the local terrain. This Is 4! baffler to a newshound It’s about like holding a hot potato tn rour hand In the middle of a dance hall You can't let go of the thing ami It’s too hot ’n hold * Just about everyone we’ve had occasion to visit with on the subtec’ has his or her pef theory as to ’he oil companies' Intent and what’s to become of the diggings. Then too. we’ve heard that it is this infernal digging that is causing damage to the water levels of the lake Another person tells _us in a jubilant manner that this Is the real McCoy, and that oil Is a certainty In this area To add to our amazement. our aged grandmother: a complete stranger in this area, and with whom we have never mentioned the subject. offers the voluntary remark: “I’ll bet there Is oil in this area.” This bit of comment put our senses in the VHF range on thly oil matter. However, it’s still entered In our score book as an unofficial, time at bat. and we’re still* stumped in our efforts to weed out the rumors In search of the facts We may by accident run across someone - who is In the “know” on this subject Our predicament. as stated In this editorial. may have a chance of being lifted into a fact: HEX RURAL HOME KTONOMIOi CT.UU The group met in the Grange Hall Tuesday afternoon with the president.
