BOARD OF C0^^I''1ISSI0NERS♦ MEETING, Aug* Board voted to install more new
street lights including six along Salter Path Road at intersections, three
along Oakleaf, and one each on Knollwood Drive and Pinewood Drive. As the

lights approximately J>00 feet apart, and property owners who do not now live
in PKS might like to note,future light locations in relation to their own
lots*

The meeting was held in a large conference room in the Marine Resources Cento
on the right side of the lobby area, with entrance from the deck. If you
attend a Commissioners' meeting on a rainy night and find the door closed,
it will probably be because of the large FROG population in the nearby estu
aries* If the door was left open, the frog chorus might drown out the
commissioners' report si AH
AN INTERIM policeman has been serving us: his name is DAVID BROW, and he

mony, during which Chief Overman pinned a star on his uniform, Terry
Siegler resigned recently from the force, and David Brown will be leaving us

THERE*S ENOUGH TO GO AROUND - For the past ten years, much has been written,
much unhappy division created, by the very real "generation gap". Many’
young people think their parents spent a life pursuing financial success,
maintaining artificial appearances, neglecting the closeness of family ties.
Older people feel the new generation is impractical, is not working hard, is
morally lax, and that the u.S* will inevitably become a third class nation.
But there arc new life styles that are most high-minded and filled with hard
Viorking people* One such group is "The Farm"| a spiritual community of 120^
people with 1700 acres of land in Tennessee.
The PKS BILL MUELLERS' daughter, Cristine, her husband, Clyde Gensert, and
their baby, Emma Louise, recently left "The Farm" for a short rest here in
PKS* The young Genserts are most inspired by the good they know they have
done* 'TV's "60 Minutes" presented one side of their work; soon the "Natio
al Geographic" will feature an article about "The Farm",
Both the Mcini^onite Church and the Canadian Government are working with them
