LETTER TO EDITOR Newfoundland April 25, 1954 D ear Friends, I received your April 8th edition of the Brookings-H arbor Pilot to day and couldn’t help reading your letters to the E ditor per taining to our school and it’s ju s tice. I feel I m ust agree on all that was said. As an ex-m em ber of the Brook ings basketball and baseball team I had to live by the sam e rules th a t are in effect today. Some, I thought at the time, w ere a little stiff but I tried to live by them all the same. This m ay be a sm all thing but it had a lot to do with my future life. I joined the A ir Force shortly before I was to graduate. In the Air Force I found m ore rules and regulations than 1 could ever hope to count but all had to be obeyed. I had some tim e getting use to all of them but now- I find each one has its one use and meaning. No law or regulation is ever m ade to harm you but to protect you if you’ll just obey them. In both of my two overseas assign m ents I have to represent not only the USAF but the whole United S tates as well. As for responsibility 1 have a wife and child to tak e care of. As for my job, I ’m a Senior en gineer on a 63 ft. Crash boat W hether my job is done correctly or not may m ean the lives of every m em ber aboard plus the TITAN CHAIN SAWS Sales and Service DIAPHRAGM CARBURETOR All Angle Operation • TITA N CHAINS FOR ALL SAWS HENRY'S SAW SHOP ones in trouble be it a plane crash or ship wreck. I know’ I would not be able to assum e full responsibility for a job like this had I not had the help of first, my m other and father, second, the school and ALL the very fine people who m ake up the school faculty and third, and one of the m ost im portant, is my many friends in Brookings and H arbor. F or I feel 1 was a very lucky lad to have so m any won derful people take a personal in terest in me and my problems. Now, I w’ould like to m ake a suggestion to those who m ay be having a few’ troubkes. Ju st sit down and ask yourself these 2 questions: Did I do the right th in g ’ —Did I h urt anyone by doing w’hat I did? When you ask yourself these two questions keep in mind for every tim e you hurt someone you hurt yourself a dozen tim e in a dozen different ways. Your friend always, A/'1C Chris J.
