Thanks to all who helped Springfield families
To the editor:
Every year, Springfield Middle School works hard as a team to find support for families. Our community works together throughout the year to find different ways to support the children here. This year, we needed support in many areas for our kids during the holidays.
We would like to thank Terry and Debbie Kinzer from St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Williamsport for providing backpacks for the boys and girls at Christmas. We would also like to thank Terry Gross from Downsville Ruritan Club in Williamsport, whose team of elves shopped for our kids. Their generosity every year helps many families place a toy for a child under their tree.
A big thank you also to the Russ Robinson group from the Williamsport Moose Club, which joins together and provides a week’s worth of groceries for a family over Christmas. Your support comes from the heart, and on behalf of Mrs. Ruppenthal and the staff of Springfield Middle School, we wish you, all of our donors, parents and volunteers a merry Christmas.

Read Bible, then pray to know God’s truth
To the editor:
Reading on the Opinion page, it is easy to see people believe Jesus is everything from one of the teachers of various faiths pointing up to God to being Lord and Savior to some.
I would encourage a reader to read for himself what the Scripture says in John 3:11-18, 36; John 14:6; and John 8:58.Then pray and ask God to show them the truth of who Jesus is. I call Him (like Thomas, John 20:28) my Lord and my God.
Merry Christmas to all.

Save the postal service, not Pakistan
To the editor:
We are now facing the loss of one of our great services, the United States Postal Service. With the modern technology of communication, i.e. cellphones, iPads, etc., they are reducing the income of our postal service.
It is reported that to save the postal service, they need approximately $1.5 billion. So far, that is not being offered. On the other hand, we are giving Pakistan $1.8 billion a year. What does this say about our goverrnment?
We, as a caring people, are trying to save the world. I think the care should be “charity begins at home.” The sad part of this situation is that our future politicians are now part of a group known as “Occupy Wall Street.”
