Letters to Editor Dear Editor: Having lived in O’Neill about a year I consider it a very pleas ant community in which to live, except for the minor detail of having some of the most asinine drivers I ever hope to see. Why does a town as large as this sit back and wait for the first fatality before taking steps to remedy the double parking any time, any place, and always during the busiest traffic? Why do we allow U turns on our highway, creating a very definite hazardous situation?” Why do the drivers of cars back out of a parking place without looking in any direc tion? This, I believe, is a simple lack of courtesy and good com mon sense, but we have more drivers in this town lacking in these respects than any other town or city I’ve driven in. Why do we allow cars to race back and forth on our residen tial streets, with children play ing on each block? Furthermore, in my own ob servation, the teen-agers are not breaking any more rules than the so-called adults. Don’t we of O’Neill think any more of our children than to at least try to protect them from these idiotic drivers? Do we have to wait to see some horrible mess such as we read of daily before taking some action? I propose that we, as parents and adults, organize to strive to attain a safer place in which to live? I want to raise my child, do you? —(NAME WITHHELD) Vacation in Minnesota— Mr. and Mrs. Palmer Skulbor stad and sens will return this weekend after a two-weeks’ va cation in Minnesota.
