Some very sobering thoughts about our area and community were raised at the meeting, and the HEDC didn’t pull any punches while presenting them, opting instead to lay out in black and white what ails us. From the problems at the hospital to the possible loss of other services, HEDC members discussed not how to solve these difficulties, but rather which were most important, thus giving the HEDC board of directors objectives to guide them in the coming year. With all the seeming bad news coming out during the meeting, one note of optimism was the HEDC’s attempting to tackle these problems before many of them get out of hand, and become irrevocable. Hut what can the HEDC, or for that matter the Chamber of Commerce, lone Agri Business group or any other organization concerned about its community do to stem the deteriorating economic situation in any given community? After all, many times these groups are seen as self serving with “special interests”. We all have special interests, and what needs to be realized by everyone in our community is that these interests are intertwined and inter dependent. What of the person on the street who says he doesn’t need the hospital and could care less if it is operating; after all his doctor is out of town and if he does need hospitalization he would go somewhere else. What of the person who says he could care less if a business goes under, because "they never shopped there anyway.” Whether you live in a community, send your children to school in a community, go to church in a community or socialize in a community, you have a stake in that community. The business life of a town cannot be dissected mit with the social amenities expected to remain intact; likewise our social activities cannot be ignored and business expected to remain heal thy. The townsperson, farmer, laborer and bus inessman all have common interdependant interests, and when these interests are identified and dolt with as a whole, then may we all benefit. The editor of the Meppner Gazette Times received a disturbing letter last Friday with an Italian postmark and postage stamps Apparently the letter, signed "Suzanne," is from a young pregnant woman whose boy friend has left her Since no name appears on the letter, the Gazette Times cannot print it as a letter to the editor The purp**»e of her letter, however, is "to say good bye to all my friends in Meppner " To the editor I would like to state my opposition to the incinerator to burn PCB contaminated oil being considered at the Chem Security dump near Arlington The manager of this dump objects to having it called this but that »exactly wbal it is a dump This burner would run constantly. 24 hours a day.
