The Tryon Bulletin
Dear Editor Vining, Mayor
Tucker and Bill Hawkins, A.S.U.;
WHY do the young people of
this community have no place to
go?
Their families have homes with
many recreational facilities.
Some even have vacation homes,
campers and boats. Many belong
to country clubs. The school has
tennis, basketball and other
facilities. Harmon Field is free
and available. This little town has
so much to offer our youth.
I believe we parents, the police,
and bar owners should try harder
to keep our underage teens out of
bars and dope drops. The liquor
store should stop selling liquor
to minors.
. I believe the school age and
youth are being contaminated by
the older “drop outs” who are
more aimless than the students.
Unfortunately youth, by their
own admissions, refuse ,to have
chaperoned parties in family
homes. They only have wild
affairs whenever parents leave
town. What parent wants to open
his home to illegal drinking, drug
use, sex, and thievery?
Our family moved here from a
large city where the youth have
hundreds of places to go, good
and bad, and what does that
community talk about? A Youth
Center! A place ( to go!
That city and Tryon have many
places to go, many things to do.
How do we convince the kids to
enjoy and respect what they
already have? I personally
suspect the answer lies in
eliminating their drug and
alcoholic habits so they can
partake of realistic and whole-
some lives.
A Concerned Parent,
Betsy Freeman
(Mrs. Don C.)
Editors Note: We don’t believe
the liquor store sells liquor to
minors. One of the things
teenagers miss is a place to take a
date and sort of “hang out.”
When many of us were growing
up, the drug store served this
purpose and later Harold and
Bess Nessmith operated “The
Willows” and this was the place
to go.
