Day Care Deserves Better

To the Editor: The fact that the Remnant Church can’t help keep the Day Care (so many rely on) open is beyond belief.

To the editor: I agree with the letter regarding the Daylight-Saving Time. I remember living in Houston at the time when it went into effect in 1970 and the little kids were having to stand on the street in the dark to catch the school bus.
