CK 3-5313 (North of Sand Hill) New and Used Pianos Available on E-Z Terms THREE MINUTES A DAY By James Keller 4 Paris is trying a new way to promote courtesy.

It sponsors an annual "Politeness Week." A private committee has organized a campaign to encourage good manners in everyone from policemen to storekeepers and students. The chief of police showed his cooperation by promising gold medals to the most courteous officers. Any effort to focus attention on the importance of politeness in the home, at work, on a bus and in every other circumstance is to be commended. But care should be taken to see that courtesy to others is rooted in true love for them. Otherwise, the most refined behavior may remain very super ficial and be motivated, more by self-satisfaction than by a desire to show others the respect that is their due.

Try to see God's image in each person and think of yourself as His instrument in adding a touch of love and beauty to everyone you can reach. "One can tell a man by his appearance; a wise man is knoion as such when iirst met." (Sirach 19:25) Help me, Lord, to show others the same courtesy that I expect for myself. FALLS FROM STEP Mrs. Lucille Lutz, 29, Myerstown RD 3, injured her left knee and left ring finger when she fell from a step Monday night. She was treated at Good Samaritan Hospital.

Idea Catches On Governor Of Kentucky Takes His Government Directly To His People FRANKFORT, Ky. telephone rang in the governor's office here. "May I speak to Gov. Combs?" the business man asked. "I'm sorry, sir," a receptionist answered, "the governor is out of town taking state government to the people." Somewhat perturbed, the caller shot back: "Well, when the hell is he going to bring the government back to Frankfort." Gov.

Bert Combs, who three ed years ago initiated a unique program of setting up a "state capital for the day" in various parts of the state, delights in telling this anecdote to visitors to his temporary offices from metropolitan Louisville to tiny Haymond nestled in the mountains of eastern Kentucky. Voter Complaints When he was a gubernatorial candidate, Combs explains, he was often told by a voter in a remote area: "We get to see everybody who's running for governor, but wo never get to see a governor." Following his election, Combs employed the idea as a good public relations gimmick designed to sell our program." "We had what was considered an unpopular program imposition of a 3 per cent sales and use and it was generally thought among politicians that no one could survive the sales tax stigma. We were trying to sell this and the tol! road program." At first his aides girded for a lot of criticism and incidents "I don't recall a single unpleas- ant incident," Combs comment ed after the 40th and final temporary governor's office of his term was held at Jamestown, Ky. "Even where someone disagreed, they were courteous and somewhat objective," The program operates this way: A community is selected to be Kentucky's state capital for a day and Combs, members of his staff and representatives of various state departments set up shop there, usually in the county court house or in a state building. Favorable Announcement The governor tries to have some sort 'of favorable announcement for that area thai day and each department head gives a resume of what his agency lias done recently that benefited the area.

Residents of the community are invited to come in and meet with the governor to discuss problems or make suggestions. A person who wishes to talk with the governor comes to the office, signs up with the governor's appoint ments secretary and waits hi: 'Don't a book by ts cover tt no matter how conservative her taste in dress, every female adores beautiful underpinnings!

Requests heard most often are for road improvements, obs, special projects for the particular area (such as, park development, traffic lights, etc) public assistance and paroles and pardons for family members or friends. "It allows the people to fuss me directly, instead of through official channels," tombs said.

Members of his staff, how- iver, say there are a great many compliments, and people just come in to say hello and 'to see the governor." An elderly man at Mayficld, for example, dropped by "to see who's runnin' my state," and at Calhoun a former Penn- iylvanian commented: 'You have to have a ticket to see the governor of Pennsylvania. Gov. Combs makes you feel like he's your kind of people." Opponents Condemn Although his opponents condemn the project as politically motivated and state capital wags refer to it as "the government in exile," Combs insists that much good comes from his periodic visits throughout the state. At one temporary capital, the governor was asked if an elderly man might be transferred from a western Kentucky tuberculosis hospital to one closer to Louisville, where his family lived. While the governor engaged his visitors in conversation, one of his aides made the necessary arrangements for the man's transfer to a more con venient hospital.

As each visitor presents hk case, the governor's secretary marks down the particulars so that any situation which cannol be dealt with on the spot may be taken up later at Frankfort, MOST Kentuckians take some pride in the fact that their com munity is selected as a tempo rary capital of the state, and requests from various communities that they be chosen are more numerous than can be met. The fact that a majority ot citizens really don't know their governor was pointed up at West Liberty, where a mar walked into the court house de manding to see Combs. "What can I do for you," the governor asked. Thinking he was being given the run-around the man began pounding on the Lebanon Daily News, Lebanon, Tuesday, November 12, 1983 Page 7 desk and shouted at the shirt- ileeved Combs: "I said I want- to see the governor."
