' EDITOR: The reports of soil conditions in Cedar City have been a great concern to me. As I have traveled the past few weeks and talked to people about Cedar City, they have said, "Oh yes, you are from the place where the town is falling apart." This is of grave concern to me, and could have far reaching effects on the growth and development of our area. The area as we know it, is a very small part of our city, and still much of the news media is leaving the impression on people that our entire city is sinking. As businessmen and concerned citizens of Cedar City, we should tell the news media not to blow this out of proportion. The major part of our city is solid with a rich heriatge dating back over 125 years. Let's promote "What's right with Cedar City!" As president of the Cedar City Chamber of Commerce, I firmly believe that Cedar City is a good place to visit, a great place to live. Sincerely yours, Jack Carter, President Cedar City Chamber of Commerce Dear Editor: I can't hold my peace any longer. The piece that was in the Record last week, broke the camels back. Cedar City might become a disaster area ! What are you trying to do, make us a ghost town? If they would just go around the town and examine the homes that have stood for nearly one hundred years, they would get an idea of how long a well-built house would stand. When those folks on Highland Drive first saw their houses were cracking, had they stopped their watering1 their yards, and landscaped them with cacti and chipped rock, they could have stayed right there. Maybe their homes are like the ones back East, like they told on TV the other night; new buildings with their roof caving in and barns in same area, one hundred years old, still standing! Lina Adams Dear Editor: The Valley View Medical Center receives many complimentary letters expressing thanks and appreciation for the loving care and dedicated service rendered by our Hospital and Medical Staff. I would like to share the following letter with you which was written January 22, 1978 by a non-resident of our community: com-munity: Dear Mr. Hughes: Recently, while skiing at Brianhead, I had an accident. I was brought to the Valley View Medical Center for treatment. treat-ment. From the time I entered your emergency room on the Thirteenth until I left on the seventeenth, I received excellent ex-cellent care. You should be very proud of your nurses and all of the people who work with them. Their attitude was cheerful and I never heard one grumble or complaint from them. It is a strange feeling to be in a hospital in a city away from home. The people in Cedar City restored my faith in doctors and hospitals. It gives me a good feeling to know that there are hospitals that still care for their patients. Dr. and Mrs. McNaught were very kind tq me. Valley View Medical Center is fortunate to have Dr. McNaught practicing prac-ticing there. Once again, I appreciate the many things your nurses did for me. They are great people.
