CMRI5TMAS IN BURtlNGTON by Tom Ward Christmas is a time of year when old friends get together, brotherly love a- bounds, and all good children receive a nocturnal visit from their kindly, benevo lent patron saint. It could be said that at Christmas the whole world loves children but in reality this is not a fact. The people of Burlington, North Carolina hate children. The previous statement is not really as as tounding as it may seem at first glance; it has its basis in fact. I really doubt that you could actually find a single person in Burlington who admits that he hates chil dren, especially at this time of year. How ever , past events have shown that a great many people in our neighboring fair city do not give a tinker's damn about the fate of their children. Evidence of such neglect and indifference can be found in the results of a recent referendum. Once again a vote was taken to see if teachers' salaries could be raised, and once again it was negative in the final results. The request was quite a reason able one, since Burlington teachers have done without a raise in pay for twenty years.
