Letters to
Be a little kinder
To the Editor:
Many times when we take
time to write a letter it is to
voice a concern, disagree
ment, or to complain about an
issue. We also take so many
things for granted.
If a business, or individual,
or government service, such
as schools, post office, police,
fire department, hospital,
neighborhood center goofs up,
we are quick to criticize.
Hardly anybody ever says
"thank you," for teaching our
kids, getting our mail on time,
keeping our city safe, our fire
department going, helping tc
get the sick well, and helping
people when they are without.
Does anyone say "Thank

To the Editor:
Many teachers have been
calling our office wondering if
they or their students can do
anything to help the relief
operation for the Italian
earthquake victims.
We have contacted the
Italian counsel to find out
exactly what is needed and
what is the best procedure to
insure speedy aid.
The most serious and im
mediate need is for money to
buy medicines, vaccines, wa
ter purifiers, and generators.

Question of the week: "Are you spending more or less on
Christmas presents this year?"
"I haven't thought much about it," said Ed Baker of
Lexington. "I think pretty much the same as last year. I
haven't bought as much, but I've spent pretty much the
same."
