An open Letter ( Iran's Nat- During 1953, .the National

Pet'sian) (NACCCA) celebrated the 50th
September 3, 1983 anniversary of the establish-

vation corps (CCC).
Baha'is, in keeping with their ~ The NACCCA is trying to

agitation.
Tim Guardian of the Baha'i
Cause says,
"The followers of ]~tha'u'liah
under whatever state or
government they reside should
~conduct themselves with truth-
Fulness, fidelity: trnstworthin-
ass and absoite virtue ... They

neit'ner indulge in flattery, nor
practice hypocrisy, nor are
ithey impelled by selfmh am-
bition or the desire to accum-
ulate wealth. They are not
anxious to attain high ranks
and positions, nor are they the
bend-slaves of titles and
honors. They abhor every form
of oetentation and are far re.
moved from the use of coer-
cion. They have detached them-
selves from all else save God
and have fixed their henrts~
"upon the unfailing promises of

and 1940's. It is a known fact
that many of these persons

I am sure that many of your
readers have often wondered
what became of the CCC. You
can tell them the CCC lives
again in the NACCA. It is a
young and growing organizat-
ion with 98 chapters through out
the nation,w ith more being
formed each month. One of its
major objectives is to have the
CCC reactivated.

their Lord ... They have be- .... " .... ,',. ,
come forgetful of their own
selves and have dedicated March 15, 1984
themselves to that which will
serve the interests of human-
ity .... They unhesitatingly re-
fuse such functions and posts as
are political in nature, but
,'wholeheartediy accept those
that are purely administrative
in character. For the cardinal
aim of the people of Baha is to
promote the interests of the
whole nation.
"Such is the way of the
followers of Baha, such is the
attitude of the spiritually- min-
ded, and whatsoever else is but
manifest error."
Also, Baha'is, in accordance
with their exalted teachings,
are duty bound to be obed-
ient to their government. Eluc-
idating this subject, the Guard-
ian says: " The people of Baha
are required to obey their
• respeetivegovernmonts, and to
demonstrate their truthfulness
and good will toward the auth-
orities ... Baha'is, in every land
and without any exception,
should ... be obedient and how
to the clear instructions and the
declared decrees issued by the
authorities. They must faith-
fully carry our such directiv-
es.,,
BAHA' I organizations have
no aim except the good of all
nations and de not take any
steps that are against the
public good.
Contrary to the conception it
may create in the mind be-
cause of the similarity in name,
it does not resemble the cur-
rent organizations of political
parties; it does not interfere in
political affairs; and it is the,
safeguard against the involve-:
merit of Baha'is in subver-
sive political activities. Its high
ideals are " to improve the
characters of men; to extead
the scope of knowledge; to
abolish ignorance and prejud-
iice; to strengthen the fonndat-
ioris of true religion in all
hearts; to encourage self- rel-
iance, and discourage false
imitation; ... to uphold truth-
,ft~ess, audacity, frankness,
and courage; to promote
craftsmanship and agriculture
; ... to educate, on a com-
pqlsery basis, children of both-
sexes; to insist on integrity in
business transcations; to lay
stress on the observance of
honesty and peity ; ... to acq-
uire mastery and skill in the
modern sciences dnd arts; to
• promote the interests of the
public; ... to obey outwardly
and inwardly and with true
loyalty the regulations enacted
by the state and government ;
... to honor, to extol and to
follow the example of those who
have distinguished themselves
in science and learning .... "
And again, " ...to help the
needy from every creed or sect,
To the Residents of Summers
County:
With the closing of the Hinton
City Dump, Summers County
residents may want to take
advantage of the private trash
service offered by Mountain-
ear Sanitation Service { listed
in the phone book). For less
than $6.00 per mont they will
pick up your trM x once a w k.
Since we have been one of their
customers for seven years, we
can recommend them highly
for their courtesy, efficiency
and dependability. The small
fee is a bargain, not only for the
convenience, but also for the
prevention of rats and other
rodents.
Summers County has always
had a trash problem. If you
want to see what could very
easily happen tooor beautiful
scenery, drive through some of
the nearby southern counties
and look at the results of an
indifferent public and a neg-
ligent local govorun ent.
• We have a great potential for
tourism here: however, you
will not attract out-of-staters
with illegal dumpaites, littered
roads and trashy creeks.
' Until we come to grips with
the garbage problem, our sit-
uation can only get worse.
Sincerely,
Elgie Smith

Letter To The Editor:
Dear Editor and Friends,
Once again I feel the oblig-
ation to speak out, for little
children and all those who for
one reason or another choose to
,not speak out. As most every-
one knows by other lettei's I
have written, I had throat
cancer and was told by special-
ists at the Cancer Center that it
was caused by breathing cig-
arette smoke. I am not a
smoker but all of my life I have
been exposed to it.,.

To whom it mayconcern:
This is an open letter to all
,our representatives in govern-
ment. You are endowed with
the responsibility of looking
after our interests in affairs -
National, State and local. How
well you do your job can, and
usually is, translated into
votes.
Since sometime in 19"/7 or
earlier the Summers County "
Mountaineers For Rural Pro-
gress" has been trying to pro-
mote the construction of 1-64
from Sam Black in Greenbrier
County through Summers and
Raleigh counties to join with
1-64 & 1-77 near Beckley. This
relatively short section of inter-
state will complete 1-64.
Early in 1983 we were told
that this so called " Missing
Link" or " Essential Gap"
would be completed and is use
by 1986. We were delighted all
went well through most of the
construction season in 1983. All
projects in Summers County'
were under construction by
September and we were told
that the two Greenbrier con-
tracts would be let in October
and November.
,Something happened at that
time that stopped all contract
letting. We were told that the
contract letting would resume
in January of 1984. We are now
into March and still no con-
tract letting.
It just recently became kn-
own the Federal Highway De-
partment has stopped all fund-
ing for interstate construct-
ion. ( Where has the news
media been since October?) We
understand that there is plenty
of money there - 5 to 6 bill-
ion - to continue with this all
important bit of .Interstate hi-
ghway. Do they not know that is
our money, not theirs, but ours.
And that we want and demand
that they release enough money
to get the remaining project in
Raleigh and Greenbrier count-
ies under construction imm-
ediately. NOW.
All of you should know that an
irate populace will, when they
go to the polls, vent their
anger on those in office!
The citizens of this nation are

the local hardware store for a

mention a few of [he nmcmous
things we have to put up with,
with little or no complaint. But
we want our moeny released
now. The contractors are eag-
erly waiting for a chance to bid
on these projects. The unem-
ployed workers of this area are
desperately in need of jobs. The
Nation, the State and the local
communities need the road.
Why not do it now.

Dear Editor,
I would like to take this
opportunity to inform all the
citizens of our county of the
success of the Chamber Re-
treat on March 11. I have been
referring to it as " Super
Sunday" because, in my book,
it was. We had a bigger crowd
this year and the ideas from
each group were just great.
More than that, these people
said they were ready to go to
work. Look Out, Stm3mers Co-
unty is on the Move!
The theme of this year's Re.
treat was ACTION and that is
just what your Chamber is do-
ing. I hope to soon have cop-
ies made of the different gr-
oups reports explaining their
ideas and how best to imple-
ment them. If anyone would
like to see a copy just give us a
call.
Watch and Listen - You will
be seeing and hearing more all
the time.
I would like to thank every-
one who participated and made
it such a Super Sunday, with-
out you it would not have been
possible.
Sincerely,
Emily K. Briers

urday to lodge a formal com-
plaint and request action on our
behalf. Mr. Bennett told us that
he would have to decide wh-
ether it were best to
warrant or summons, but, he
would act on the matter. We left
• .his office confident that the
tssue would be handled. No
action was taken that day nor
on Monday when I called to
check. I returned to his office
on Tuesday to learn that Mr.
Bennett was not going to take
any action and was di~lual-
ifying himself on grounds of
prejudice.
I understand and appreciate
his right to do this, but think
that he could have acted in a
more professional way by in-
forming me of this on Satur-
day. Not only did he decline to
inform me of that, he did not
offer me any information abo~
what other options were avall-a
ble to Inc.
I contacted the A~istant Pro-
securing Attorney, Richard Gu-
nnoe, and the Circuit Judge,
Charles Lobban, who put me in
touch with the Magistrate in
Greenbrier County, I spoke
with the Magistrate there who
even took me to a lawyer for
additional advice and eotms
and a warrant was issued and
delivered, by me, to the Sum-
mers County Sheriff's office.
This warrant again was not
served because the Summers
County Magistrate ( Mr. Benn-
ett) would not even agree to
inform those named of their
rights and it was too late in the
day for the Sheriff to trans-
port the people to the Green-
brier County Magistrate.
Later, I learned the, Magist-
rate reconsidered and agreed
to arraign the people. He ex-
tended his duty as a public
official to them by arraigning
them; but would not extend the
same courtesy to us by lssu-
Ing a warrant. Is this an ex-
ample of his "equal justice for
all"?
It seems to me that our,
Magistrate could have treated
this entire incident much more
profe~ioually and fairly from
start to finish; and urved both
the public and the eotmty much
better. When election time
comes, you can be assured that
Magistrate Bennett WILL NOT
