LETTERS
To the Editor
Endorses Nyssa Plan
Of Building Village
For Senior Citizens
March 11, 1966
To the Journal Editor:
While reading my copy of the
March 3 Journal. 1 learned of the
plans being made to set up a Vil-
lage for Senior Citizens. This
sounds like a wonderful plan for
many reasons.
First, it will give the elderly
citizens a chance to live among
neighbors of their own generation,
and they can talk over the early
days.
I also noted that those working
on this plan are some of the best
Nyssa businessmen. And if this
proposal can become reality, these
men will see that it is done.
The village will also give the
senior citizens better and more
comfortable homes. It will also
help to remove some of the small
er homes from valuable land, giv
ing room for more modern and
larger residences which will im
prove the city.
