Dear Editor:
The voters turned out like an angry
nest of hornets last Friday night to
keep their school.
Seems like the
people of Idanha are very determined
and I will say that about Detroit also.
Well so far they have their school,
but someone, somewhere will think up
something, and try to take it away.
I am staying on the sidelines, one
way or another. I am glad the moth
ers don’t have to send their kiddies to
another city to go to school, and I am
also sorry the other side didn’t get
what they wanted.
There are two
sides to every story............
I would not like to go up and down
Baldock hill either. I call it “suicide
grade”, for a person is taking his life
in his own hands when they go up
or down it. I was supposed to have
heart trouble, but now I know all the
doctors were wrong. When one can
stand the “thrill” of Baldock hill one
does not have heart trouble...........
Its the kids I think about, the kids
alone. They are our responsibility
They are the future citizens of our
fair land. W’hile their elders fight
and squabble about who and where
they are to go to school. They mast
stay on the sidelines, then must do
what was decided upon by the ma
jority............
Did I vote? Yes, bat no one knows
which way, and never will. That is
my privilege as an American citizen
to have my vote kept secret. If it
isn’t I might as well move to Russia.
