Hallmark October 1985. Hallmark Editorial. Very disappointing
After the exhilaration in our last issue re Village Day, it's very disappointing to. Have to report that a village meeting of the faithful few have decided to run the Village Day bi-annually, alternating with Lacey Green Productions bi-annual production (this year Toad of Toad Hall).
It seems to us a pity that when a right formula appears to have been found, it cannot become an annual event, that goes not only for Village Day, but productions like Joseph and his Amazing. Technicolour Dreamcoat and The Wizard of Oz that have given so much pleasure, granted, to a few people they are time consuming, exhausting and sometimes even heart breaking, but afterwards in more sane moments one feels a satisfaction, so, disappointingly, we must respect the reasons, and accept the decision made,
The price we ought to pay That our disco club has hit the headlines again, and had to be stopped, as usual through no fault of the village teenagers, is deplorable.
During the miners strike, great play was made on the right to work, and a massive police presence was mounted to achieve that end, by the same token is there not a right to play? And if that needs a costly police operation, so be it.
If we breed a nation of hooligans and trouble-makers and after all we can only blame ourselves "collectively" then we must be prepared to pay the price, to police what we have brought upon ourselves.
Douglas Hurd the new Home Secretary says no more money is to be forthcoming for extra men on the beat, and that is particularly disturbing for us with a very undermanned Thames Valley force. Hither we pay, so that we can go about our lawful business and pleasure without fear or disruption, or we bow to the rule of mob law.
The price we have paid
That Mrs, Hart has had to resign as District Councillor through ill health, highlights the price we ask of people in public life, such as Members of Parliament, Councillors and even officers of local organisations. How often do we praise such people, more often we criticise? Mrs, Hart has given of her time, her energy and the ultimate — that the party or the electorate have no right to demand, her health. WE wish her a speedy recovery.
The election for her successor will be held on October 31st, as usual we offer no advice on how to vote, all we say is please, please use your vote. To the successful candidate we say take it easy to start with, we want to be well represented in the Council Chamber, but we aren't worth killing oneself for.
