OMrtbuIhtn • -j ♦ / David and A pril Sykes, Puhlishers Letters to the Editor Rawlins asks support for Fresh Start : • * To the Editor: For many years I have been pro ud o f M orrow County schools and thankful for having been a student here, a parent o f four children who graduated here and a teacher in high schools here for 19 years People here have a history o f supporting schools (w ith ups and downs, o f course), but steadily moving toward better and better schools But now we have come on bad times In the fail o f 19H3 our present supt came and sold the board on h ir ing a professional negotiator from the OSBA and strongly recommend ed the faculty hire one from the OFA (which they did not want to do) T nuiblc began Most o f us took lit tie note o f it then, we were ac customed successful negotiation bet ween board and faculty. But since '83 our school problems have grown progressively worse until they arc at the lowest eb in 30 years I can well remember Through it all. the board has supported this superintendent's p o lic ie s and the pro fessio na l negotiator A sco nflici mounted, our children ami young people seemed to be largely forgotten W hile schools were tom apart, faculties divided, principals put ‘ ‘ between a rock and hard place,” and every group in our communities, even families were in controversy, the board and supt did nothing to alleviate it Even when a group o f concerned citizens made a proposal which the board accepted and which retu rn e d teachers lo th e ir classrooms, an insulting letter o f reprimand was sent from the district signed by board members to each one in that group Then the hoard changed the wording o f the agree ment and contracts arc still not sign cd The public is given only vague inform ation, but it seems both we and the faculty have lost control. tur nmg suit and counter suit over to the union attorneys who care more ah nit * • . • •• • : t I - , .« ■ * •... t • •, » . » , * * •;* •• ■ * / ' :■ ,S a . \ /& . ‘ . . • s L r *• . . -.i < . . \ » • ‘j r (V i * • t • • > v> , s . * :£ * * ' V • V • * • i » . s ; *■ j ì & ' ft ' / ■ ir Ih c W illow C reek Country Club w ill hold a Jack and Jill Tournament on Friday July 14 beginning at b p nv Hosts for this event are (ierald and Harriet Pierson, lo u is and Bet ty Carlson and Kay and Norma ;'V 5 00 am to 1100 pm Clem blasted out, ' Hey - v v « -» $ - X. ? ’ )•■ ■ , Grazelda. jum p up and run on down to M i l l e r ' s M i i i l - M n r i ■■■•.’ : . : ‘y \t t i A € h « * \ro n .” (irarrUlti u rrarneil "What in 4 the world for?

Take that dollar h ill you may have in your pocket al this very moment In man's early c is ili/a tio n . most things o f value, like food, had a perishable nature Value was a fleeting thing, here today. spoiled and gone- tomorrow It's no surprise then that nun sought and found a store houve o f value, in the form o f a more durable g<x<d Gold pretty. rare, useful. durable became an early store house o f value Even in our early history, gold coins were the principal means o f sti>r ing value from one season to the next, from one generation to the next Evolution o f our ntoncy system has lead uv from gold coins through gold and silver certificates to mere m*es (X ir dollar hill no longer has any value except as a symbol o f value And most o f the value we store is represented by mere zeros on a hank statement Our symbols o f money, our dollar hills and hank statements have nude the complete transition from symbol to the real thing If ymi hum a dollat h ill you burn not just the symbol, hut you in tact burn the real thing Thai dollar is destroyed forever But not so w ith our flag Our flag is symbolic o f a nation in which the tree interchange o f inlor mat ion. ideas, opinions, the right to speak our mind is one o l the most cherished parts This is a place a geographic area o f the w orld. 50 states, most o f one continent, where the people elect those who u ill govern Ami where ideas arc spoken, heard and considered; adopted and rejected on their own merit Where government is constantly examined, questioned and challenged lo the end that it he the best government we can devise W ithout that interchange ot ideas, we could fall victim to a government controlled “ party line ” where we arc not permitted to hear about the overspending on weapons systems, the plight o f the poor and homeless, the dangers o f nuc lear reactors or the peril o f tarm chemicals If we can nut hear about those things, we cannot nuke an informed choice ahnul the politicians who we charge with decisions about them And our government is no longer *' w ith the consent o f the governed (Some o f us think we need more inform ation, ideas and opinions rather than fewer.)
