Ziegler, P.E., Director North Dakota Department of Transportation (June 23) ii Put Your Money I Where Your House -Tsl IOCa independent  srrengtheQ our businesses are comrnurty Playing Kung Fu Panda ,11 To Oil Field Landlords: I have no quarrel with anyone wishing to make a hon- est dollar in the lucrative oil field housing market. But if you intend to do soby evicting good people from their homes, or by arm-twisting the elderly with pay- up-or-go ultimatums, or by coldly forcing a mother and child onto the street -- all for your own gratuitousgain -- then, yes, you and I will be in serious opposition. For those unacquainted with the facts, all of this has recently happened in Beach. Property owners, of course, are free to do such things. But they should not be allowed to do it with impunity. They should be made to squarely face pub- lic criticism and scorn, both rightly deserved. We can- not remain a decent community unless we treat one another with respect. And there is nothing in any of these events that is remotely decent or respectful. It is a fragile thing, the character of a community. It ought not to be trampled upon. And, more impor- tantly, when violated we should all come to its defense with one voice, fully outraged. Jerry DeMartin Paid advertisement
