Editor, The Press: Noticing the
findings of our worthy grand jury on
the deplorable condition of our county

department. With all good citizens

we are deeply indebted to our grand
jury for the timely hint to cconomize
We surely are going at an awful pace
and it is hight time that we take a
hint from so worthy a quarter.
But why take our spite out on the
teachers?

offhand that it is the teachers salaries
