No official weather report for
Monday. Tuesday was sunny and
cooler.
The Egyptian Interior Ministry
said Monday police have orders
"to shoot instantly anyone who
disturbs the stability and security
of Egyptians.”
President Reagan said Monday
the United States will not deal
with the Palestine Liberation
Organization until the PLO
recognizes Israel’s right to exist.
Former President Jimmy
Carter, in a move that put him at
odds with many Democratic
Party leaders, Monday endorsed
President Reagan’s proposal to
sell sophisticated radar planes
and other advanced aircraft
equipment to Saudi Arabia.
We think the Polk County
School Board made a wise
decision in naming former Supt.
David A Cromer to serve as
interim superintendent until
new superintendent could be
named. Mr. Cromer is familiar
with the system and doesn't want
the job. Mr Cromer has agreed
to serve until a new
superintendent is found.
Thursday from 6:30 to 8 p.m. is
the Turkey or Ham Dinner at St.
Luke’s C.M.E. Church.
