, i • Letters News Editor; Your “The City Sleeps” editorial (?) puts you in the dass of the lowest type of bigot. You sound like a human hater. I know it would be asking to wuch of you to half-way open your mind to the fact that Charlotte has done more than 90% of the Northern schools to have open schools and freedom of choice. So half of the whites or maybe ®ore don’t want their kids to go to school with blacks. So what? ftese same people at least resolve toetnselves to do what is right, ^ey know it is in the interest of ® human becin to give everyone an «iual shake Owen, don’t lower the dignity to most of these people who oppose this BUSING. These People are NOT racist. They ^Pose something that is 100% *’‘ong. I say this with a complete open mind. , ‘BULLSHIT” Owen. If the city sleeps, you’re dead. ., 1 don’t know if you are red, o*»ck, or white but I’ll bet you "e prejudiced. I’ll bet you are a ?eist. If being the News Editor of toe JOURNAL is any indication to the intelligence of the average *oaent in your school, I pity the ®''toage. hp on want to be a civil rights ®to? I wonder if you can get along with your next door neighbor. „ . Open YOUR eyes, Owen, or Mt left behind. There is a hell of a lot to do regarding human rights, but Charlotte’s people are some of the most open-minded you will find anywhere.

By a voice vote, control and operation of the city s ambulance service was turned over to the Boy Scouts of America by the City Council. Reportedly, no ambulance would be manned except by scouts with an advanced merit badge in first aid. The only major jKoblem appears to be finding Boy Scouts old enough to drive but the Council quickly countered that by stating, “We’ve given the Chamber of Commerce the joy of preparing a report on that matter. ....Mecklenburg County, 2070.... Two pupils, ages eighty-five and eighty-nine respectively, graduated today from Chicken Private High School after enrolling in 1970 to avoid busing to desegregated public schools. One of the students commented from his wheel chair The real credit for this educational milestone goes to my parents and their desire to protect me from that long bus ride across town.” The two new graduates immediately boarded a bus for the Concerned PMents Association Home for Aged School Graduates, located near Death Valley, California.
