The reader
Dear Mr. Batten,
Regarding the article on the front
page of the Exeter Times Advoca(e
dated Jan. 9. 1985 - titled "Lacking
What".
I feel that when a group of people
consistently spend time together as
council does, there becomes a com-
araderie that includes jesting and fun
aimed at each other. I do not feel
however. that these accounts need to
be presented to the public.
Our mayor and councillors work
hard to maintain our town and -do it
with a sense of dignity. Our
newspaper should support these men
and their efforts.
This "friendly barb" had no place
in our newspaper. Please report the
positive qualities these people show
day after day and develop a more pro-
fessional attitude towards our town
council.
Sincerely,
.inn and ,JoAnne Dinney, Exeter
