ON THE STREET

This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "How many weeks of vacation do you think the president of the United States should get each year?"

James Elder, Olive Branch

"Probably about six weeks, from the way you see him going on television."

Hazel Davis, Thebes, Ill.

"About a month because he could go where he wanted to go and do what he wanted to do."

L.B. White, Jackson

"Three. The average working person as far as I know gets about two."

Merrill Pair, Marble Hill

"As many as he can get I guess. More power to him."

Bruce Jones, Cape Girardeau

"I'd say probably three. Well, you figure he probably works ... he's on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
