Do we have to have another world- war of catastrophic proportions before we decide to love one another? Someone once noted that we've tried war for hundreds of years, why not try peace! If we don't like it, we can always go back to war! And we can begin with ourselves and our family and our neighbors, and wherever we travel to show everyone that we are their friend, because we think it's worth it. Truly, "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God." SincereTy, -- Phyllis Phyllis Durst Needs help residence as the home in Mitchell with the but- terfly on the front awning. This spring I added a new addition, .a mammoth monarch butterfly in our garden. I have been trying to dress up theyard with things not usually seen. This past Saturday evening, some person or persons, trespassed onto our property after dark and stole the large but- terfly from the garden.. Why? For the life of me, I cannot understand why. There isn't anything smart about it, it cannot be displayed anywhere because they cannot be purchased in stores. They are of my own design and can be identified even. repainted. So, I ask, what do they gain from it. There are many hours work put into these ar- ticles and a value cannot be placed on them proper; It is through this letter that I ask readers to help keep an eye out for this - To the editor: Most people in MitMell know me by name, but there are some who don't, but they know my butterfly and its return. Any help would be ap- preciated. I would in closing like to pose a question, should the guilty parties _read this letter. "How would you feel or like it if •someone came onto your property and stole something?" Think about it.
