It all depends upon whose ox is being gored. We were convinced of that recently when we beard the strange ' tale about a member of the Warsaw paper putting undue pressure on members of the county board of conunissiooers to reverse a previous decision. The commissioners struck a list of names from its list of published claims, which are published the last week of each month in. two county newspapers, including this one. According to county auditor Noble C. Blocker of this community, the action was “perfectly legal.” Blocker said, “The action would save county taxpayers about S6OO per year.” The gentleman of the press from Warsaw went before the commissioners, brow-beat them into restoring the list, thus continuing to line their pockets.. Isn’t it odd that this paper, howl- . ing to the high heavens about welI fare claims being unwarranted, and setting itself up as the great protector of the public purse, doesn’t take such a publie-spirited point of view when, auditor BlockI er and the commissioners try to save the taxpayers (a dollar in this instance. The threat used: To spill the beans of a "cover up” to the county chairi man of the opposite political party Ito be used in the next county elec- ' tion. Truly, it does depend upon whose ox is being gored, doesn’t it? * * * A Syracuse businessman, attend-1 ing the first home game of the JackHARTMAN’S PAINTING AND CLEANING Interior and Exterior I OWEN HARTMAN 260 S.

LaVada Dean said she was misquoted in last week’s M-J, and if so we hasten to set the record straight. She said she never resigned from the Syracuse Civil Defense Unit, but that president Floyd Schlotterback asked her for her card, which she gave him. She admits, however, she is no longer a member of the local CD unit.

She also said she never asked the Syracuse town board to replace him. She said she presented the board with a letter bearing signatures of 17 CD members asking the board to halt Schlotterback’s plans • for remodeling the building, near 1 the town well house, for a CD I headquarters. LaVada is the hula girl who was on the rear of the CD float which appeared in numerous parades last summer. •. * * Syracuse Methodists had another
