Dear Editor: - 1 ,ten writing to you regarding _an incident that took place Iasi week. Two young -children cane to our door selling chocolate covered almonds. When '1 asked them • what the money was being used for they told me it was to help cover the cost of educational trips. I purchased a box from them and. too late. asked them were they lived. When they informed me they lived in Hcnsall and were .home schooled. i was more than a little upset. How dare the parents of these children take them out of their community and •expect us to help pay for them to go on at so-called educational trip. i have since learned '-it they also canvassed Sebringvillc for money. We- have enough of our' local children "selling" for projects without supporting them. also from other communities.. . • - Prestnitably these children are not in the public schools because thc parents object to some things -being taught in the public system. but what are these children being taught by parents that drive them all over thc country begging strangers to help pay their way for an unnecessary trip? i do not know the names of these children, but hopefully their parents. will subscribe to:your paper and rcad this. One thing learned from this experience: in future 511 young salespersons will be asked their home ad- dress -before any transactions are made. To the par- ents of these children all I can say is "for shame." Thank you for the space in your paper. Respectfully yours, Doreen Skinner Summer's here!
