Letter Ta| The Editor Dear Friends: I want to thank everyone who supported me and voted: for me in the primary elec tion. Obviously a great ma jority of tfre Democratic Par ty is satisfied with the present leadership. I hope that every one will keep in mind that the purpose of our effort is not placing one person on the school board rather than ano ther. The teal goal is the continual improvement of our schools. There will always be countless opportunities to do this. —■ We must never let persona lities stand in the way of im proving our schools. We must always give our full support to all the programs in the . schools. We must maintain communications with teach - ers and school officials and m ake as great an effort to understand their problems and goals as we do to let them know our needs and con cerns. Whoever leads the schools in the future is going to need the full support of every citizen of Yancey County. Withhold that sup p port and our ools and our children will s ely suffer. I ask you to give your full sup port and- id- 10-whoc ris elected in Novembei. Sincerely, Charles Gillespie, Jr. PAGE 3
