Drum And Drummer

For Cryin' Out Loud

The independent mayor of Ujpest, a Budapest district, whose councillors have suspended the local paper and TV station, saying they are biased, is hitting back by employing town criers. According to Reuters, Tamas Derce, the mayor of Ujpest, said: ``I will hire someone who will stand with a drum at busy junctions of the district, and another one with a loudspeaker.'' The town criers will keep working until the councillors reverse their decision, he said. Sounds to us as if there are a few town decriers.
