IiCTTER TO THE EDITOR
What are the boundaries of the Starr County Water
Control and Improvement District No. Two? Nobody,
not even the Water District Office has a map outlining
the boundaries. How can the Chamber of Commerce
ask the people to go vote when people don't know
whether they are in the proposed incorporated area or
not.

Dear Editor:
We have read your article of September 1, 1977 en-
titled, 'Helping Others To Solve Their Drinking
Problem' with a great deal of interest and gratitude.
You certainly did a fine and sympathetic job for A.A.
All of us are most appreciative of your understanding
and care in writing this very fine article.
From the very beginning of our Fellowship, we have
had splendid understanding and cooperation from the
communications media. Many people sober in A.A.
today first learned of the Fellowship, and the
possibility of recovery in it, from reading an article in
a newspaper or magazine. Therefore, it is a matter of
particular gratitude with us to see this fine work still
going on.
In the event you wish to reprint this, would you please
omit the name of the staff member signing this let-
ter'.' The Eleventh Tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous
requests that A.A. members maintain personal
anonymity at the level of press, radio and films. Wt
strive to make known our program of recovery, but not
the members who participate in the program.
All of us send you not only our thanks, but our warm
greetings as well.
The word "toboggan" origi-
nated among the Indian tribes
of North America who trans-
ferred their food and belong-
ings from camp to camp on
small sleds.

"Dreams I>ead the Heart" by Margaret E. Sangster,
"There is no dream so small you cannot make it A
lovely thing of vivid blue and white; There is no hope so
tiny but its glowing May touch the dark of centuries
with light. There is no flower so faded that its petals
May hold ahint of fragrance that will last; There is no
memory so lost and so broken That it can fail to glorify
the past. There is no vision in this world of striving
That does not help the tired soul to peace; There is no
suffering, however bitter, That does not end at last in
glad release. There is no dream so small but its slim
fingers May point the path to all that life holds best;
There is no road, no matter how it falters, That does
not lead the heart, at last, to rest."
