UNITED STATES AIR FORCE
STATIONED HERE
By - Mary Jo Newton
For the past four weeks, Air ForcB
personnel and vehicles have been
seen daily around town and of course
their presence has aroused the curi
osity of the people of Highlands-
Many people have asked the personnel
about their work and have visited
the station* Others have inquired
around town to gain knowledge of
their being here, but others are
still curious and wondering about
their presence and their work.
We wish to take this opportunity,
with the cooperation of the United
States Air Force, to inform you a-
bout the work being done by them
and in hopes the information will
reach those who are willing to co
operate and aid their program.

area, Satulah was chosen for the

A LETTER OF THANKS
Last week I wrote an open lettei
t o your paper in regard to the
Police situation in the Town of
Highlands.
I think I can say-without hesi-
tating-that every resident of
this community, summer or perma
nent, is truly thankful for the
complete cooperation for the Mayor
and the Board of Commissioners
and their satisfactory correction
of the dangerous situation.
Highlands now has, not one but
tvro proper police officers and we
hope they will be given sufficient
remuneration and cooperation to
keep them in office.
Again, our thanks,
C omd r.Dwi ght C. Paul
