Off The Record

A long time Paxton resident and representative of the American Legion Auxiliary was concerned why the Paxton Record was not printing the Auxiliary minutes. She was taking the monthly minutes in to be printed but they never showed up in the paper. One day, she dropped in at the Record office to innocently inquire why the minutes were no longer news worthy.

A former Record employee, who we will refer to as "Tater Tot" was working the counter and none too pleased to be interrupted by the Auxiliary Representative's inquiries. The discussion turned "lively" on "Tater Tots" part. "Tater Tot" proceeded to tell her off and threatened to call the police. Needless to say, the Auxiliary Representative backed out the doorway and left without an answer.

An informal survey of any members of our community would be hard pressed to find anyone who has ever felt threatened by the well known, docile Representative of the American Legion Auxiliary.
