i Editor, C  ‘legar News:

On Monday night, I en-

teréd Stanley Humphries’ Ac-
tivity Room with some trepl-
dation. g: :
Wearing a turtle-neck
and holding my scarf tightly
against ‘my throat, I took a
back seat near the exit. For
you see, I had come to watch
“Dracula, Baby.’”

It wasn’t long before I
loosened the grip'on my scarf
and relaxed. The music was
good, the costumes and sets
well-done, and acting great
and the laughs many.

To the musicians, cast
and crew, thank you for an
enjoyable evening, and a
special thanks to you ‘‘Drac-
ula, Baby.”’

SOLUTIONS TO THE PROBLEM
a.) Conduct all business by dealing with it
in open council meetings.

b.), If a particular point of business can not be
lecided upon in open council, then one of

two things should be done. Either table
the business to the next meeting and in-

d.) Inform the residents, especially those
who will be effected, of what council is
pl in ing or ch to their
residential area. Residents should not be

made aware of changes orily after deci-

BENEFITS OF OPEN COUNCIL

1. Improved harmony between aldermen

2. An informed public

&. Good, healthy feedback from residents

4. Controlled growth through sound, careful
zoning and planning

5. Control and minimize speculation and thus
help keep taxes down. This would help
control inflation on rapidly rising land
costs.
