What we dont understand is why computer manufacturers all have their own language. You wouldnt expect to purchase a new car without wheels or seats. And you definitely wouldnt want one that required six months of special training before you could drive it off the lot. -- 0 It doesn't matter if you get an automobile from Detroit, Japan, or another country, the basic language of driving is the same. Not so with computers. Language, programs, and auxiliary equipment are not interchangeable. There are three basic types of computers game, personal and business or industrial. There are dozens of manufacturers, and even more software suppliers. Just trying to determine which is best for your needs is a task. As one expert put it. Decide on your software, then buy the cheapest computer (hardware) that will operate it. Another said - the computer industry is changing so fast, that what you buy today is already ob- - ed solete. And heres the real kicker. A survey of 750 publishers showed that 60 percent had already purchased computers. But in the same survey, only one of the 60 percent claimed the computer was actually showing him a profit. Salesmen claim a computer can make it possible for one person to do the labor of four.

In fact, most bad had to hire a computer specialist m addition to the other employees. The computer age still has a long way to go before it realizes its potential. Henry Ford mass produced the automobile after years of many manufac timers working the bugs out. Today, manufacturers are mass producing the computer with the bugs still in them. The day will come when computers like automobiles, will be built for the owner-operatm or. 0 How serious is the drug problem in Beaver County? We are not sure anybody really knows, but there is no doubt it is serious. With TV and the mass media carrying drugs and immoral behavior lntor the home on a daily basis, its no wonder that the ills of the big city are invading rural America. Must we let this outrage run its course, or Is there something we as parents, administrators and public officials can do to turn the tide? There are laws, policies, and regulations. But thats not enough. We cant expect law enforcement officers and school administrators to carry the burden alone. As parents and citizens we must do our part. Lets start at home to make our communities safe, before there is a real tragedy. -- 0The third grade teacher was trying to teach her class good gram- "You should never say T seen she said to the class.
