Letters are still very many good people who care about other people. Phyllis Blackman Tallahassee, Fla. Thanks, Perry Editor: On behalf of the Perry Players, I would like to express my apprecia tion to Perry and the middle Georgia community for their wonderful sup port during our recent production of “The Sound of Music.” Our goal was to provide a quali ty show to be enjoyed by people of all ages, and we thank everyone who supported us in this effort. We are especially pleased the more that 2,000 people attended during the run of the show, which was a record-breaking figure for Perry Players productions. Many businesses allowed posters to be displayed. This brought atten tion to our production and we thank them for their cooperation. Countless hours of volunteer labor were also contributed by people in our community. The tireless efforts of people in this area and the support of local businesses truly epitomized the meaning of community theater. Thank you for your continued sup port. Our next show will be a hilari ous comedy entitled “Love, Sex and the IRS.“ I’m already looking for ward to it. I hope you are, too. John Walters Perry Where is justice? Editor: Where’s the justice? Why haven't Bill Clinton, Janet Reno and assorted ‘agents’ from the FBI and Welfare U.S. Rep. Mac Collins is spon soring a proposal to revoke the driver’s license of those who don’t pay their child support. Nineteen states already have this law. "Very seldom does it have to be used," Collins said. ‘‘Upon notifi cation that they may lose their licenses, they have a tendency to get that money somehow.” The Children’s Rights Council believes the Republican plan is going the wrong way. “We need to work harder at assuring that kids have parents, not just money machines.” David Levy, the HCCI the county’s care. He told the crowd he believes county money could be used to ben efit residents in a more productive manner, especially in dealing with the tax cap limitations. Vice Chairman Calvin Maye said Frito-Lay was proceeding well with a major expansion and the Arizona Tea production facility would be ready soon. He said the county con tinues to grow. During the period 1990-94, 3,544 construction permits for hous es were issued by the county and the three cities. Of those permits, some 1107 MORNiNGSiDE DR.

Jife; .aMpßfe .aa&i Bill Moss ATF been brought to trial for mass murder? They were responsible for the deaths of more than 80 men, women and children in Waco, Texas on April \9, 1993. They attacked these people in their home with tanks used as batter ing rams. Then they gassed them and set their home on fire. The agents who carried out the attack were act ing on orders from Reno and Clinton. Janet Reno had been appointed Attorney General by Clinton only a short time before this happened. This mass murder by our govern ment officials was the tragic end of an incident started 51 days before on Feb. 28. Agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms had decided to arrest David Koresh on a federal firearms possession charge. Koresh was the leader of a church called the Branch Davidians, located near Waco. More than 100 Branch Davidians lived in a collection of buildings called a compound about 10 miles east of Waco. This compound was their home and their church. The ATF agents could have arrest ed Koresh any time they wanted out side the compound and no innocent people would have been killed. However, the ATF decided to make an assault training exercise out of it by attacking the men, women and children in their home and church. The ATF launched an all-out, pre emptive helicopter gunship assault against the families living in the compound. The Branch Davidians exercised their God-given and con stitutional rights and defended them selves and their families. When the firefight was over, six Branch Davidians and four ATF (Continued from page 4A) group's president, said. To a large degree, Levy is right. If we could legislate morals then we would have two parent. Christian homes all across this country and the problem of dead beat parents would vanish. Unfortunately, we cannot force that so the next best thing is to track down those deadbeats and make them pay. As child support collections grow, welfare spend ing will shrink.

Maye said the county handled more than 100.000 tons of refuse at the county landfill last year. Commissioner Larry Snellgrove explained the formula for determin ing the library funding compromise. The per capita assessment is based on the number of persons in Houston County in 1990, coupled with the population of all three cities. Jay Walker said he believes improvements will continue to be made to the Perry-Houston County Airport. Your Family Independent Pharmacist is a trained professional.

Over the next 51 days, lies and innuendos spewed forth from the mouths of Clinton, Reno and the FBI spokesmen. Hints of possible child abuse inside the compound flowed from their mouths daily. This was later proven false. From day one, the Branch Davidians were referred to as a cult instead of a church. The victims of the assault were referred to as cultists instead of men, women and children. This was done to make the Branch Davidians seem different from the rest of us. This was done to make the Branch Davidians seem unworthy of our sympathy and sup Bryant Farms & Green Houses ‘Bedding Plant Flats - SB.OO L ‘Geranium Flats - SIO.OO Jjh *10” Hanging Baskets - $6.00 ff \\ *10” Geranium Baskets - *10” Large Ferns - SIO.OO *10” Small Ferns - $6.00 *4” Geraniums - $1.50 *6” Geraniums - $2.50 JffjL *4” Gerbera Daisies - $1.50 ys| jj—s. *6” Gerbera Daisies - $2.50 Si /f^ayA ‘Tomato & Pepper Flat - $6.00 |§ I a week ‘Baled Pine Straw - $3.00 bale \^ n y ‘Potting Soil - 3 cubic ft. - SIO.OO Hwy. 230 East ~ 3 miles East of Unadilla 912-627-9588 dm' \ ■ Jr *, \ mm Jr A % jun^B jM - xl« jJKJs -JB ;^Bv-.:^B'::::^B:Wj|r/ JT rs 3& v 'ft 'l* r:r 3w'~li «i ”»'''w r lm' i i®'jF # J>f ’^' /> aat - a «l -i *•><• jjilkik.

Everybody knows that cultists do not hurt when they are gassed, shot or burned to death. The electricity was cut off to the compound. The people inside were bombarded with bright lights and loud, ear-splitting music around the clock. Who were the real child abusers? Clinton. Reno and the storm troopers committed the final abuse against these people during the tank assault of April 19. Some of the surviving Branch Davidians received prison sentences of five to 40 years for defending themselves. Clinton. Reno and the ATF and FBI agents have not even been put on trial.
