Best wishes
The Naples Community Inn will go it
alone.
An agreement with Community Inns of
America was broken last week by mutual con-
sent of their representatives and the board of
directors of the Naples corporation.
It is no secret that things did not go well
under the original agreement. Service, business
and the financial structure of the motor hotel
had deteriorated almost from the first day it
opened last May.
The referral service, convention bookings,
promotions, and even the supply of qualified
and experienced help promised at the start
by Community Inns of America never quite
lived up to expectations of local directors.
In brief, they expected more from Com-
munity Inns of America than they ever got.
CIA was not satisfied, either. Their eager-
ness to sign a management contract at the start
gave way even to reluctance at the last. Staff
members performed poorly and drifted away,
each time doing a little harm to the name of
the business and costing a few customers who
had become dissatisfied for one reason or an-
other.
The marriage was one of necessity to get
the project built and the divorce was one of
mutual consent simply because it had not work-
ed out as well as it had been hoped.
Now the Naples Community Inn is home-
owned and home-operated. It is our respon-
sibility to do our best to see that it is success-
ful and, if we fail, Community Inns of Ameri-
ca must share the blame.
Succeeding will be somewhat more diffi-
cult now than it would have been in the be-
ginning but it lacks a long way being a hope-
less cause.
A business well-run with ample concern
for customer satisfaction can succeed with
greater handicaps than our Community Inn
now has.
We wished it well under a strange and
oftimes disinterested management. We wish it
better now that it is among friends. .

SAGE OF SULPHUR BOTTOM
Wants Viet Namese and
farmers to swap problems
(Editor's note: The Sage of
Sulphur Bottom on his John-
son grass farm discusses with-
out settling the Viet Nam prob-
lem this week.)
D«.nr t ditar:
I guess you've noticed that
Viet Nam has crowded out the
farm problem as an issue in
the presidential race and I
think I know the reason why.
Nobody knows the answer
1o either problem but Viet
Nam is a lot further away and
if nobody has the answer to a
bunch of problems, the one
furtherest away is the one to
pick.
Speaking of the farm prob-
lem. I read the other day that
a political speaker campaign-
ing for one of the main can-
didates said his man didn't
have the answer to the farm
problem but if elected he
would appoint a committee of

leading farmers to sit down
and figure out a workable pro-
gram.
I don't believe the candidate
knew this man was going to
say that.
In the first place, if any
farmers, leading ones or not,
knew what kind of program
would work they'd have sug-
gested it long ago. The last
thing a farmer would want to
do is offer a solution to the
farm problem himself. It's one
Ihing to wake up every morn-
ing mad at Washington, and
another thing to wake up mad
at yourself.
Why do you think the Sec-
retary of Agriculture is always
somebody who's not a farm-
er? You're not going to get a
farmer to go in there and hunt
for an answer in Washington
when he couldn't find one on
his farm.
You take me. I don't know
what the answer to Viet Nan
is, but I'd rather try to teii
you than to tell you what the
answer is to the farm problem.
It's true I don't know what's
going on in Viet Nam, but
what makes you think I know
what's going on on this John-
son grass farm?
Things are a lot more com-
fortable when you leave the
Viet Nam problem to the farm-
ers and the farm problem to
Viet Nam.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
