David and April Hilton ::..ijfr;mi LETTERS TO Will now To the editor: It being in the best interest of the Pioneer Memorial Hos pital patients and residents, the facility and community, I will no longer resist the hospi tal board's request for my resignation. The last four years have been in many ways a reward- 4 A word to To the editor and the citizens of Morrow County: In 1981 Secretary of Educa tion T.H. Bell created a Na tional Commission on Excel lence in Education. The report of this commission, entitled "A Nation At Risk" has re ceived wide publicity in the last few months. A great deal of emphasis was given in the report to the need for changes in our schools. Throughout the nation, school district boards of education are giving a great deal of attention to this report and other similar ones with an eye to improving the educa tional system. Morrow County is certainly one of those dis tricts. There is. however, a very important portion of this re port which is seldom ad dressed in the news media which I feel needs to be called to the attention of all people. I am referring to the final por tion of the report which is entitled "A Word to Parents" and "A Word to Students." Within the week, all stu dents in Morrow County School District will receive a copy of this message to stu dents. The commission's word to parents is included below in its entirety. Sincerely, (s MattDoherty Superintendent Morrow County School District To Parents You know that you cannot confidently launch your child ren into today's world unless they are of strong character and well-educated in the use of language, science, and mathematics. They must pos sess a deep respect for intel ligence, achievement, and learning, and the skills needed to use them; for setting goals; Cjieciroiysvs ac Thermolysis Permanent Hair Removal Anna Schwarzin, Certified Electrologist : 676-9248 Open Tues. - Wed.

My special thanks "to the many dedicated, compassion ate and willing employees who serve the community 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Sincerely, A.K. Felt parents' and for disciplined work. That respect must be accompanied by an intolerance for the shoddy and second-rate masquerading as "good enough." You have the right to de mand for your children the best our schools and colleges can provide. Your vigilance and your refusal to be satis fied with less than the best are the imperative firs step. But your right to a proper educa tion for your children carries a double responsibility. As surely as you are your child's first and most influential teacher, your child's ideas abouat education and its sig nificance begin with you. You must be a living example of what you expect your children to honor and to emulate. Moreover, you bear a respon sibility to participate actively in your child's education. You should encourage more dili gent study and discourage satisfaction with mediocrity and the attitude that says "let it slide": monitor your child's study; encourage good study habits; encourage your child to take more demanding ra ther than less demanding courses; nurture your child's curiosity, creativity, and con fidence; and be an active participant in the work of the schools. Above all, exhibit a commitment to continued learning in your own life. Finally, help your children understand that excellence in education cannot be achieved without intellectual and moral integrity coupled wih hard work and commitment. Child ren will look to their parents and teachers as models of such virtues. Women's Aglow to meet A Heppner Women's Aglow Fellowship meeting will be held at All Saints' Episcopal Parish Hall in Heppner on Tuesday. Nov. 29, at 7:15 p.m. Guest speaker for the even ing will be Wanita Brown of LaGrande. Refreshments will be served following the meeting. Babysitting will be avail able by calling 676-5828.
