8 EL UVALDE TIMES MAY 11, 1991 This I Have To Say... (Continued from Page 2) Whatsoever you do for the least of my brothers... Please forgive me for being a constant observer of community life in Uvalde but it’s just my nature to comment on the wonders of humanity, especially when it’s so easy for many of us to believe that things will never change. Watching so many people working together at the Kid’s Care Fair on Sunday, April 20, made me imaging that God must have been smiling on Uvalde that day. It would have been so easy for so many people that were there to have given excuses not be there. We all have so many other responsibilities, so many other priorities. Knowing how precious our Saturdays have come to be for working parents these days, it is really amazing to find so many people working for the little children that were helped with the Kids Care Fair. I was not at the Special Olimpics that same day, but there too were so many great volunteers. The difference between those that have the money and time to help, and those that having these blessings choose not to help, has to be their understanding of what the Lord teaches us in that special message... “What so ever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto Me! Thanks, so much... To all of you that called or came by the office, or met us around town and talked to us about how much you liked the newspaper, thank you very much. It is so encouraging for me to know that even after all these years we have so many friends and that there are so many new people in town that have become our friends. Please help me to make this newspaper a growing medium of information and most of all unity. Remember this newspaper is a vehicle for many people to write in. As we become more established, I would like to expand our news coverage. News Reporters Needed El Uvalde Times is in search of some good reporters that would like to volunteer to write for community service. We need people to attend the various local government meetings to insure that we have adequate coverage. This would be an excellent opporuni-ty for persons interested in pursuing a career in journalism or who are simply very interested in community developments. Persons interested in pursuing a political office are also encouraged to attend the various government meetings and report on their perception of how our local government is being conducted. This type of writing would of course be considered editorial. For more information, please write to the Editor at P.O.

Me dijo, “Olga,cada negocio nuevo necesita cuando menos cinco años para establecerse — no te has dado suficiente tiempo.’’ Durante todo ese tiempo que tuve el periódico lo consideré mí competidor y ahora me animaba a que no dejara el negocio. Yo se que tal vez yo animaba el negocio de anuncios en el proceso de la competencia, pero de todas maneras confie en su sinceridad. Lo que tu hagas por el mas insignificante de mis hermanos... Perdónenme por ser una constante observadora de la vida de Uvalde pero es simple mi naturaleza de comentar sobre las maravillas de la humanidad, especialmente cuando es fácil para muchos pensar que las cosas no cambiaran. Viendo tanta gente trabajando unidos en el Kids Care Fair el pasado Sabado 20 de Arbil, me hizo imaginarme que Dios se estaba sonriendo al ver la gente de Uvalde ese dia. Hubiera sido muy fácil para tanta gente que se encontraba ahí haber dado excusas para no ayudar o asistir. Todos tenemos tantas otras responsabilidades, tantas otras prioridades. Sabiendo cuan preciosos han llegado a ser nuestros Sábados para la gente que trabajamos en estos tiempos, es verdaderamente admirable encontrar tanta gente trabajando para los pequenitos que serán ayudados por el Kids Care Fair. No pude estar presente en los Juegos Olímpicos Especiales en ese mismo dia, pero ahí también había muchos voluntarios. La diferencia entre aquellos que tienen dinero y tiempo para ayudar, y aquellos que teniendo estas bendiciones escojen el no ayudar, tiene que ser su interpretación de lo que Dios nos dice en ese mensaje especial, “Lo que tu hagas por el mas insignificante de mis hermanos, eso lo haces por mi!” Tantas Gracias A todos ustedes que han llamado a la oficina, o nos han encontrado en las calles del pueblo y nos han hecho saber cuanto les gusto el periódico, muchísimas gracias. Nos anima saber que a pesar de todos estos anos tenemos aún tantos amigos y que ahora existe tanta gente nueva en Uvalde que han llegado ya a ser nuestros amigos. Por favor ayúdenme a hacer este periódico un medio de información que cresca y que nos una. Recuerden que este periódico es un vehículo para muchos escritores. Al establecernos queremos ampliar nuestro servicio.
