Please, Madam Editor, continue to inform us about the happenings concerning the government of our county; especially, please, please ,^eep us informed about the workings of the Zoning Committee! And would you, if you can, explain (such as giving examples) the suggested ordinances of this committee. I really could not make heads and tails of this report. Actually, I gave it little thought until I read a letter to the Editor in the Rappahannock News concerning this matter. Then I realized that something was amiss, and ever since I have been frightened. I keep thinking that had this committee’s report been accepted and should my house burn down, I probably would be without a home in my final days as I could not afford to build back according to the size specified by the committee and would find myself living in the zone for tents. Now, Madam Editor, you will not win a popularity contest in reporting to us, and perhaps I shall frequently take issue with you in some of the things you print, but you will be doing us a great service to keep on reporting. You cause us to think! This may not be so good in some respects, but it is good for a democracy. Rah! Rah!
