TARBORO — To the Editor:

If the flags in Tarboro are not flying at half-staff, then they should be as a true patriot, hero, and Christian has died.

Joel Bourne’s obituary, in your paper, only mentioned a few of his many acts of kindness for the public good.

Two of the bloodiest battles of World War II were ones that Joe fought in. When asked to tell of those times, he would say that he only unloaded cargo on the beaches. Edith would be quick to reply, “That’s not what your Marine buddies say when we go to those reunions!”

What’s right about America has suffered a loss.



W. M. Bass,

    To the Editor;
    What are you (ECC) thinking?
    ECC teaching how to drink wine? Which is alcohol. ECC Foundation selling alcoholic drinks. Children will be there looking and learning. They are good music bands for a good cause, leave the alcohol out and all of its side effects.
    What are you thinking?
    Wonder how long before it will be taught in Public Schools. Would it not be better for everyone to teach abstinence?
    What about it Mother's Against Drunk Driving? What do you think?
    What are we thinking?

    Your coverage on the gun control debate was fair and accurate and I have fought against gun control my whole life. The sad thing is this time the American public is haunted by the ghosts of 20 innocent children and the claims by the proponents for assault weapons is making all gun owners look callous and uncaring.

    To the Editor:
    One of the things I love most about returning home to my beloved Tarboro is escaping the grueling crush of northern Virginia and nasty Washington politics.

    To the Editor:
    What has Clark Jenkins done? He has served his town, his county, and his state for five consecutive terms in the North Carolina Senate. He has led a life of service to his business, his church, and his family. He has been a friend and a partner with me and my family for over 50 years.
