A letter cites last Thursday and December fires at the Ron Peterson and Ralph Sleight places to condemn Paris city fire protection. It urges new hose and equipment and argues for a county fire department as county residents lack access to municipal apparatus outside town limits.
The writer argues for forming and equipping a county fire system to provide protection when needed. They challenge residents to imagine fires in Montpelier or Paris high schools and urge municipal and county governments to act beyond talk before another blaze causes widespread loss.
A letter and editorial warn of a man made famine in 1965 due to labor policy by Secretary Willard Wirtz. Eight million dollars of citrus rot in Florida while crops in California and Texas face harvest woes. Unemployed labor from cities cannot harvest, risking shortages, higher prices, and shifts of land use as growers adapt. The piece questions farm policy and urges action.
A Seal Beach reader thanks Mrs. Blanche Vallentine and the Old Folks Committee for an invitation to the Old Folks party in an April 6 1965 letter to The Paris Post. The writer encloses 3.00 for a subscription and expresses pleasure in receiving each Monday issue.
Standley and Kathryn Rich recall years of support as they note March 26 crowds and their attendance at annual Paris Old Folks parties. They anticipate returning to Bear Lake for the summer as spring arrives.
A note explains that due to the high length of recent letters, future submissions should be limited to 300 words to keep the column concise and readable. Readers are urged to adhere to the cap for orderly publication.
