Future hopes

by FRED MERRIMAN

The Christmas Season Is moving into full swing and we will be closing out
another decade quicker than you can say Jack Robinson,
Where has the time gone?
And that, patient readers, is the subject of my opinion for this week.
Though | have been reminiscing about the good old days more frequently
these past few weeks, It seems to me that many of us are not really aware of
where we should be In a few years down the road.

Some of the best Ideas available today rest in the:minda and
children where wonder is still allve. In the future it will take the frofessional
lawyer, accountant, financler and saleaman to bring the Idea to the public.

The future is bright because automobiles as we know them will be obsolete.

Highways will be returned to the forest and the communication industry and
all its varied aspects will bring the wortd into our homes and minds In such vivid

serious diseases will be defeated. It scoms alao that children will not only be

Our daughter at age 13 was involved with drugs. We
loved her, sought professional guidance and saw her

. through that terrible ordeal.

At 17, she’had an abortion. Again, we stood by,
loved her ‘and were never critical. She went on to college
and took post-graduate work — a brilllant student, top
grades. Considering’ what she had been throught, we
