In other city council action, the city
granted Lakeside Community Hospi
tal’s temporary trailer permit was
granted for December, 1989, but not
for January, 1990.
The unanimous action by council
men prompted Gravitt to comment,
“All we want as community and a
city is a quality health facility and we
want that facility to be operated in
the best, most efficient manner
possible.
“I don’t think we have that when
there is quality expensive medical
equipment housed in a trailer-type
facility. I understand there is enough
room within the hospital to put this
equipment,” he said.
There was also an announcement
of the public hearing with the State
Department of Natural Resources
about the waste water facility the city
proposes. The meeting will be held at
the Old Methodist Church on Decem
ber 5 at 7 p.m.

Letters to the Editor
EDITOR:
We would like to express our genuine appreciation to your for your
love and concern for us during the Hugo crisis.
The supplies and goods you dropped off at Ramey’s Apparel and sent
us was much needed. If it had not been for your assistance we would
have been out of food, water and any kind of heat in just a short number
of days. Your gifts helped us greatly.
Your monetary gift will help us during our restoration period. We
experienced much more damage on our properties that we realized at
first. Work has begun on repairing our buildings and soon, with the
Lord’s help, we will have everything back in order.
Let us say again, Thank You for your prayers, gifts and expressions
of Love.
“Beloved, I wish above all things that you mayest prosper and you
may be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”

EDITOR:
My husband and I attended a Republican meeting Nov. 8. It was an
open meeting. The subject was gun control. Thank God the Forsyth
County Republican Party is fighting hard for our Constitutional right to
bear arms.
I want to say to you and all Forsyth County, Wake Up. When it takes
only 20 percent of the county’s registered voters to approve or disap
prove an issue something is badly wrong.
We have no right to complain how our county, state and Washington
is managed if we do not exercise our freedom to vote.
Please inform yourselves of the many critical issues being discussed
which are designed to take away a freedom. Vote.
