Dear Editor,
This is for the person who
likes to use foul words at a busi
ness drive-thru window. It is
your right to use foul woids hut
not at a business.
There might be children m
side. I’ve been known to use
foul words myself, but it's never
been at a business.
If I can show restraint and re
sped for the business, so should
you.

Dear Editor,
Several years ago we hail a
group called the Citizens for
Better Government We made
trips to Austin, or called Austin
Well, the group slopfx'd six oi
seven years back. There were
citizens who came to every
meeting but it was taking too
much time out of our lives at
home.
People don’t want to change
here in Rains County. It’s bad
wlien ihey do. It’s not lor all the
citizens
It's like Mi Hill put in his Id
ter. II you step on someone’s
toes, it’s going to push too hard
Then they go alter you one way
or another.
Just letting you know this
“concerned citizen’s group" is a
new group, a different group
They are too seared to sign then
names ot come forth m an open
lorum a place ha public dis
cussion
