THE PUBLIC MIND: PASTOR THANKS NEWSPAPER FOR EFFORTS DURING `ZERO TOLERANCE'

To the Editor:

Way to go! We as a church body greatly appreciate your combined, intense efforts during the recent focus on the "Zero Tolerance" programs.

We applaud your effort to keep Cape Girardeau free from the destructive powers of drugs. Drugs not only destroy the individual user, but also destroy marriages, families, children's lives, property, and will ultimately destroy our city if not given immediate attention.

Please keep up the excellent work on exposing and removing the evil effort of drugs from our society.

Also, we us extend to you the use of our facility for drug prevention seminars, drug awareness sessions, or any other community programs in the future.

The Rev. David W. Griesemer
