To the Editor:
 In response to Mr.
Coleman's letter in last
week's issue...
 At Georgia-Pacific we
recently had some quality
issues. Our management
came up with a whole list of
changes to ensure quality
product. The easy thing to
do would be to find reasons
why these changes wouldn't
work. We could easily
spend a lifetime pointing
out why policies at work or


that it's meant for good and
teaming with our bosses
and teachers and leaders to
achieve that ultimate goal:
great product or great stu-
dents or great democracy.
 We all have legitimate
reasons to be critical and
offended. Churches are
filled with people who've
left previous churches
because they were offended
or hurt. What is not very
common are thope who stay
at their less-than-perfect


We need more uncommon
people.
 Mr. Coleman has a right
to be concerned, and yet,
knowing both the new prin-
cipal and assistant principal
at Altha School, I don't
think he needs to be con-
cerned. These are two
tremendous, charactered
individuals who are both
capable educators and
excellent parents. Altha
School is in good hands.

 Remember me when I am gone away,
 Gone for away into the silent land,
When you can no longer hold me by the hand,
 Nor I half turrr to go, yet turn to stay...
 Yet ifyou should forget me for.awhile
 And afterwards remember, do not grieve.
 For if the-darkness and corruption leave.

 Better by for that you should forget and trnile
 Than you should remember and be sad.
 I love you and miss you, Bert

 Mrs. Ruby Davis shares
this story of this enormous
bean and asks our readers'
help in identifying- it.
 This bean was given to
me during the summer
planting season. My cousin
told me that a man gave it
to him. He said that it was
a magic bean. The bean
seed that was given was
black in color and was
about an inch long. I didn't
have any idea of what to
expect from that one little
bean seed.
 At first, it was just a vine
looking thing. I thought it
would be like a string bean
plant. Since it was just one
plant, I just tied it to a pole.
The bean outgrew the pole.
I tied it to the same pole
again sending it back to the
top of the same pole. Then


by the end of the summer,
one bean appeared. This
bean grey to be 11 and a
half inches long and three
inches wide.
 Then another bean
showed up and it grew to be
eight inches long and three
inches wide. Now, during
this fall season, there are
many beans on this vine
looking stalk. I began to
think that this must be the
season that it reaches its
reproductive time. There.
are lots of blooms and
many beans. *
 If anyone knows any-
thing about this plant,
please contact me, Ruby T.
Davis, at 850-674-8668. I
am interested in whether it
is edible or if it is poison or
if it can be used for any rea-
son.
