Editorial by Essie Bellfield

I like working in the community because I like people and want to know what I can do to help the city.

I am proud of what I have done to help people with their education. Especially my college graduate daughters. One works for General Dynamics approving the flying of F16.The other a State controller Employee and I am always thankful to Mr. Dunn for teaching her how to count money at my Peppermint Ice Cream Parlor.

If you want to know more, please talk to me, I know just about everyone in Orange or some of their family members.

If you want a person elected that will put full time on the job that is me,

I am friends with state and national elected officials.

These are some of the things that I have brought before the council during my administration.

We were blessed with a Fire Station on MLK; we built a playground on Lions Park, a new Police Station with Central controls for bad weather, We paved Burton Street and park of 2^nd Street.

I have participated in most activities in the community, We convinced Grey Hound Buses to stop in Orange, We placed a Orange logo on the Water Tower, put a Fence around Sunset Park playground on 16^th Street, I have been appointed to state offices by the governors of Texas.

I was asked by someone why I go to most funerals and I answered because these are my people that I know and hold in my heart.

I will do my best because I am working for you. Experience is change! Elect a person who knows how City Hall works.

Remember all things are possible, if you only believe. Thank each of you for your vote.
