MEDDLING IN OTHERS' AFFAIRS

THE CASE against Elwood Gallimore poses some puzzling questions.

Who is being victimized by his second marriage?

Would his accusers like us to believe that Sabrina Simpkins is somehow unable to make a sound decision about whom and when she wishes to marry?

If she isn't qualified to make choices regarding her personal life, then who is?

Although some might question Gallimore's beliefs and motives, there is nothing to suggest that he is a menace to society. What is menacing, however, is the enthusiasm of those who would destroy the concept of self-determination on which this nation was founded. SCOTT BARBER ROANOKE
