<br />read:
<br />
<br /> "This letter is concerning the answer our City Manager gave to the newspaper last night
<br />on the p~otest of Mrs. Ray Wo6dard of Sabbath violations. He said, and I quote in part from
<br />the paper, "I hope too~ that there is some semblance of kinship in love for God and country".
<br />Too bad he didn't know more about Mrs. Woodard. Not only is ~he a faithful teacher at the
<br />Bethany Baptist Church and active member of the Rollingwood Civic Club but also Chief, of the
<br />Payment and U. S. Savings Bond section in the Disbursing Office of ~he Norfolk Naval Shipyard.
<br />She has been given two citations by the U. S. T~gasury Department, Washington, D. C. for
<br />"Patriotic Service in strengthening the Nation and its Citizens through the U. S. Savings Bond
<br />
<br /> I think how Mrs. Woodard feels about God and Country is

<br />have given me a lot of. their time, so I may have notes on this disease as best they know it.

<br /> 71-356 - The following letter from Mr. J. Brewer Moore, Director of City Planning, was
<br />read:
<br />
<br /> "At its regular monthly conference on July 20, 1971, the City Planning Commission
<br />cussed the matter of including regulations in Use Permits for automotive service stations.
<br />Relevgncy of such review without an ability to suggest meaningful regulations tailored to each
<br />specific case is questioned by the Commission which has been made aware of certain possible
<br />legal-enforcement problems. The Commission also reflected on what other communities across
<br />the country are attempting to accomplish in concert with trade associations such as the ~e-
<br />troleum Institute representing major oil companies. Everyone seems to be in favor of reason-
<br />able and meaningful regulations for automotive service stations, but no one has come up with
<br />an acceptable first step in this direction.
