scientists familiar with the acid rain
problem agree that coal-burning
power plants are the chief culprit, the
Reagan administration insists that it
needs more information before it
takes corrective action. The ad-
ministration has even appealed a re-
cent federal court order to start con-
trolling the poisonous emissions

30’ Flag pole.......................................... <1,700.00
Incised signage.....................................................8800.00
Frankly, I think some of these items such as carpeting of classrooms and
corridors is outlandish!...Thirty foot flag poles at a cost of 81,700.00 each
seems very high priced to me...as does some of the other items. If the elec-
trical, plumbing, constructions costs etc. list in this report are as out of line
as the items I’ve listed then we taxpayers have paid a lot of money for a
facilities report that is hardly appropriate for our needs. Are these im-
provements needed or is this report more of a high-priced wish book foisted
off on the public as needed improvements.
I do believe we need a new high school...(probably cheaper to start from
scratch) and many other improvements are needed...indeed, must be made
to the other schools, but based on estimates such as a 30 ft. flag pole at
817,00.00 each I question the cost of the other items listed in this repori...and
consequently the value of the other items listed in this report...and conse-
quently the value of the whole darn report.
Without a doubt the school board is going to hit the taxpayers with a bond

SCLP needs volunteers
to deliver lunches
The Senior Citizens Lunch Pro-
gram, headquartered at the North
Oak Community Center, needs
volunteers to deliver lunches to
homebound senior citizens.
The program provides meals for
about 40 persons, with new referrals
the meals desperately need them. To
many of them, the nutritious meal we
deliver is the only one they get all
day. Past volunteers have gotten so
attached to the people to whom they
deliver lunches that some visit them
on other occasions to see how they
are doing.
If you can spare about an hour one
day a week to help someone in need
call Deborah Lovett at 325-3381.
meals are picked up by friends and
neighbors, most have to be delivered,
a service the center is not equipped to
handle. At this time, the center is in
need of volunteers for Mondays and
Fridays.
The most efficient way to handle
the route is to have volunteers team
up into pairs and set aside one day
per week to run the route, which
takes about an hour.

HOUSTON (AP) - Former nurse
Bryn Doyle sometimes comes home
from her pre-med classes to find her
11 -year-old son, Landon, has baked a
cake, started dinner or cleaned the
house.
The sixth-grader says he learned
some of the household skills with the
help of Vera Williams, a telephone
friend who also has become a con-
fidante.
Ms. Williams is a counselor with
Chatters, an acronym for Children
Home Alone Telephone Reassurance
Services. The non-profit program is
for so-called “latchkey children"
who are home unsupervised after
school.
Chatters is coordinated by
Neighborhood Centers, a United Way
agency that offers recreation, learn-
ing and daycare programs in the
Houston area.
For 85 a schoolyear, Ms. Williams
acts as an electronic buddy to some
150 children between the ages of 8
and 13.
