Our Editor's [ Mailbag Good Samaritans TO THE EDITOR: This is my first experience at writing a letter to the editor of a newspaper; but after a heart-rendering experience last Sunday afternoon (May 28) with five Hertford boys, I felt this was indeed the time to take my pen in hand. Two of us had chaperoned 16 teenage girls to Nags Head for the weekend and were returning to our homes Sunday afternoon. Somewhere in Currituck County, my car stopped and so we sat. Eventhough several people offered help, the car would not start... even when tne boys from Hertford were there. They were indeed a "lift" to our otherwise downed spirits; they were so refreshing and we felt safe with them. While they were looking over the motor, the car did start on its own. They insisted on following us until they had to turn off for Hertford. It was such a comfort to have them with us, and we wanted to thank them for being true Samaritans. < As you have probably guessed, we do not know their names, but hope that this letter may somehow find its way to them. They are certainly a credit to the younger generation. SARA BRANCH MAE COX Roanoke Rapids, N.C. Congress should... TO THE EDITOR: To provide for the common defense and general welfare of "We The People," our elected employees in our Congress should: Establish an Education Department and ratify the gemcide treaty.. .Because the Old Testament is reliable history and the New Testament is our guiding light, the quality leadership of our President helps each of us do our share to provide for our common defense and general welfare. Require the bottom line of each pay schedule to be that amount which will enable the lowest paid employee to pay net income taxes... because our free (responsible) enter prise economy should enable us to operate our Republic with a budget surplus, more jobs, more incentive to the competent, less infalation and more self respect. Limit the terms (years) any one of us may serve in any one position. ..because eternal vigilance is the price of liber ty and the problems in our future are inherent in the solu tions in our present. An example is the best measure of our integrity quotient. And the first step to self respect is registering to vote. HUGH D.DUDLEY 1009 Martindale Dr. Fayetteville, N.C. P.S. In 1987, those of us with incomes of $40,000 and 1100,000 will pay the same, a little more than $3,000 in social security taxes. Who rides in the welfare limousine?
