ever, this is strictly a report of conditions. It a tornado is reported in an area, then a tornado warning instead ot a watch, is given. This is the time for the aliens or other means of warning to be used. Some areas have had the habit of using their warning system altogether too frequently. This has had the effect of making people almost immuned to the warnings. If it is used only when reported tornados are in the area then the public can take precautionary’ action and rightly so. They know that a warning is for real and act accordingly. Then is nothing worse than a severe storm where damage is caused. Whether it be a tornado or a storm with damaging winds, there is no way to stop it and the protection against it to save lives is about the only means of fighting such a condition. If your community uses any kind of a warning system, be sure you know just what it means and take heed of the real thing if and when it comes.
by most of us at this time and despite the fact that wars have continued, many have died protecting our country and protecting the rights we believe in. today it is still by far and away the majority that love and respect the land we live in. It is only those few who will not accept responsibility . . . will not work for their way in life . . . will not serve their country when they are called on. that makes the United States a questionable place at all. You and I, yes, of us true Americans. can show’ our resqect and pride by the simple fact of displaying a flag on July 4. True, it is a holiday that has been taken over by fun, vacation and fancy-free living, but the very few minutes it takes to put out "Old Glory" will be serious enough to make you a proud American in a proud land.
