12 2—Cooleemee Journal, Wednesday, June 10,1970 To The Editor Once while sitting on the hot, steel deck of an LST in the Western Pacific, I made the remark that "I would give my right arm for a drink of Cooleemee water." A Yankee sitting next to me. asked, "what the hell is Cooleemee Water?" I proceeded to tell him. He said if it is so damn good, why don't you go get a drink of it, and that is ;vecisel\ what I did. After my discharge from service I returned to my hometown of Cooleemee for, among other things, a drink of Cooleemee water. I was raised in Cooleemee and. like everybody else, lived with a certain dependency on the mill company, who more or less played the role of a great uncle. Someone to turn to in time of need and within limits, someone to depend on. Since Burlington Industries has closed the plant there is no longer a great uncle, and we are left at a crossroad Hie question is which way to go? Must we try to remain as Cooleemee always has been or, by incorporating, take a different road. Each of us must decide individually which road will be best. We must think objectively of our familiies and of the future. Then we must go and vote our own convictions, what each of us thinks will be best. Must we act now or later? Since filing as a candidate to the Board of Town Council, I have received comments ranging from being accused of conspiracy to encouragement. I fully realize that no two of us will see the situation in the same light. I regret that I am unable to give direct concrete answers to some of your questions, neither can I offer an over-night solution to the problems which face us. Hie only thing that I have to offer is a strong and sincere interest in the town of Cooleemee, and the folks who live here. Also, a conservative view toward any city government we may have. It has been my privilege to serve each of you as a clerk in the Post Office and associated with my brother in our Garbage Disposal Service. For me, living in Cooleemee has been a most pleasant way of life, let us do Liberty Church Honors Pastor A church-wide fellowship supper was held on Sunday night, May 31, at Liberty United Methodist Church in honor of the pastor, Rev. William Robert Frost and his family. His mother, brother, and niece from Tennessee were guests also. A silver tea service was presented to them at this time. At a previous meeting and supper, Mrs. Frost was honored by the Women's Society of Christian Service and presented with an engraved silver tray. The Church and community are regrettfully losing this hard working family after 8 years of service and would like to wish them well wherever they go. our best to keep it this way. I would urge each of you to seriously think of which road we must take on June 20, 1970. Sincerely, L.
