Show urr 4 We Get letters Editor: Thank you so much for the Last Wednesday, granddaughter's bicycle my NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS which you sent to me last week. I particularly enjoyed the vandalized while it was parked at the recreation center near 2nd North and 13th West here in Salt article about the Salt Lake. Several other bicycles were damaged at the same time. I was told they do not have the personnel to patrol the area where cars and bicycles are a job, editing publication so innovative and vital. You are doing an excellent job. The variety of news, excellence of pictures and layout are a real tribute to your ability. Again my thanks for your thoughtfulness. Incidentally, would it be possible to receive this publication regularly? Best, Paul S. Sagers, Betty was parked. I am a taxpayer as is everyone else - and if there is not enough money to hire someone as guard in the parking area - would it be possible to get men who are on welfare to give a few hours a day for this very needed service? I hope so - as most of the children who go there don't have the money to replace damaged equipment. Superintendent G.
