?'?? "W "WW, IP ??ff MaUbag Comments on school issue TO THIS GUllUK : - * Last week I submitted a letter to your publication which I do thank you for publishing, and after due consideration I - 'find that you made a true statement in your editor's note. Your headline, "Board approved go ahead with funds on hand" was not in error. The headline I suggested could have been used better to headline an editorial in your paper. You pointed out in the editor's note that the $500,000 was not matching funds. It appears to me that if two par ties give equal amounts to a third party, they match. Your reporting of the citizens' meeting before the Board of Commissioners was excellent work. As reported in your article, it states that the $500,000 that the County Commis sioners released to the Board of Education was not tax money. The Commissioners agreed with the delegation 'hat this was in fact tax money from each of the taxpayers >f our county routed through the various bureaucratic of ices of our Federal Government. If a statement is made . . nough, the readers and listeners will accept it as fact. ? Revenue Sharing Funds are tax money. The statement has been made to this person in the past veek, more often than any other, "what can you do, they are going to build a school where they want it and there is nothing you can do about it or anyone else." Each time I ?iear this statement, I urge the speaker to attend the School Board meetings. I feel that our elected representatives will be responsive to any legitimate and sincere discussion brought before them. CLIFFORD J. "PETE" PERRY Rt. 3, Box 27 Hertford, N.C. Quality education ? TO THE EDITOR: The important factor in our local school problem is not where our children are taught or how beautiful the sur roundings, but are they receiving a quality education? If safety is a factor and improper heating is a problem and the athletic field in need of repair, then why has our board chosen to spend closz to a million dollars to aim a new addition at the swamp? Spend to make what we have now safer and more efficient. Upgrade the quality of teaching. Stop adding expensive mistakes where the voters have said a plain NO. After taking some common sense measures, come back to the voters and parents. A silent majority backlash has been long overdue. MYRTLE PERRY Rt 3 Hertford, N.C. Thankful for truly great men TO THE EDITOR: Although only a little more than a month has passed since fire swept through Winslow Oil Company and i threatened the safety of Hertford and its citizens, I can't help but wonder if one of us have already forgotten the tremendous job the firemen displayed on that day. Often, the human trait of being less thankful than we should be causes us to overlook the many, many blessings - we do have. One of our greatest blessings is in having men * who are willing to put their lives on the line in order to save " the life and property of a fellow man. And, eventhough the danger of that huge oil fire is now in the past, our respect, appreciation, and admiration should continue on for all firemen. We should not forget so easily or so soon that the firemen . of our area face immense danger every time the alarm *? sounds, and that time after time, these men risk their lives for our well being. - Please dedicate the following poem to all firemen, along with a continued thanks to them for being what they ? are. ..truly great men. THE FIREMEN We surely can't know, so can we possibly understand, The thoughs and feelings that fill his mind and heart Fach and every time he suits up to take his stand 7o battle a raging blaze cause by a tiny spark? When exhaustion creeps upon him, where does he get the strength To continue on in unfailing and remarkable performance? When the hours stretch onward into almost unbearable length Where does he get the courage and unbelievable reliance? Exactly what are his thoughs as he faces the fire. And, as he considers this could be his final fight? What deep concern is there to back his selfless desire To destroy a monster that attacks a peaceful night? When the urgent alarm screams out in the day, And when he msut respond with skill and speed, When his personal plans must be tucked away, Where does he get the determination he needs? When he's so close to the skin-parching heat. And his heart is gripped by an icy chill How does he face the danger he has to meet? Where does he get his constant will? God must walk beside him every step of the way And clear his path by walking ahead of him And, God must stand behind him, and always stay Deep in his heart, and ever watchful above him. USE CONTRASTS Improve the flavor of I foods by using contrasts. Use a strong flavor with a mild or a sweet with a sour. Avoid using the same food twice in one meal.
