Thank you. Dear Editor: I am writing this letter to publicly thank a fine lady that deserves a pat on the back. I cannot remember ever going into the library without seeing Vee Carroll with a smile on her face and a warm hello. Whenever I see her she is always happy and friendly. I have a few favorite authors and whenever a new book comes out by these authors, Vee always lets me know and I make an effort to stop by the library to check out the new book. Sometimes, I receive a call on the phone to let me know that a new book has come in, or a book that I might like. I always enjoy talking to Vee whenever I go to the library or whenever she comes into the Post Office to mail books. I just want to thank Vee for putting a little extra into her job, and making it a pleasure to live in a town where we can have people like her making our smalltown a nicer place to live!

They change man-mad- from situations where friends and relatives help one another and trust one another to having to fend for yourself and to never trust the needy. o The town is run by business people who reward themselves with the rules and policies they establish and by raising their pay for sitting on the well-to-d- city council. They can get discounts for paying their bills timely because they have the means to do so. Friends, relatives and people of the same ethnicity also seem to play an important role in employment preferences. pay their For some, what they earn is not sufficient to meet all their obligations. They may work hard and do many tasks, but their pay is still small (not paid sufficiently for the amount of work they do). They are penalized because they try their best to pay their bills with what little they earn, sometimes a few minutes or a few hours past the due date. This happens because they may not get paid until a few hours or a day after the bill due date. Average Monthly Wage County and bills.

We urge your readers to write to our representatives and protest these ridiculous government shut downs; which not only caused problems for us and anyone else who needed easements, permits, park entrance and numerous other things, but also took away revenue from a government that is supposedly trying to get out of debt. well-to-d- o. I only look forward to the day when there will be equality and when the poor will be recognized that they also are humans created by God. Many are poor because of circumstances and not by choice. Some are unwanted or undesired or do not meet certain qualifications due to physical or health conditions.
