I could go on and on with
this “How Many” list. . . .
Yet a few, who have nothing
better to do than sit on their
lazy back-sides, criticise the
district for the problems it
does have.
I’m behind the Idanha Fire
District 100%.
I hope any
others that are too will say a
few words in behalf of the dis­
trict and others will offer their
help and willingness to the
district, and will work with
them to form a better and bet­
ter fire protection organiza­
tion.
Sincerely,

age at an individual campsite

be charged when the unit is
occupied. This amendment will
apply to 10% of the campsites
in the parks that are now in
