Las Vegas Optic from Las Vegas, New Mexico • Page 2

May M. to the editor DearlWMdr: Las Vegas lost a prominent friend early Sunday. Thi.s gentle, unassuming woman was devoted to her parents; sincere to her numerous friends; loving to small animals- faithful to her religion; loyal to her lifetime of work at the Chamber of Commerce; and active in many organizations on both local and state levels. Her entire life was shared with others, always seeing only the good in people. Never did she hesitate to help whenever needed and never did she ask anything in return.

This friend's death is likened to a child suddenly being taken. Just when she seemed to be reaching a complete happiness of her own, the swift illness struck. The first difficulty is in the understanding, and later the accepting. This Las Vegan was raised here and worked here, passing her faith in her city and its surroundings to a countless number of tourists. This proud of her hometown and she never ceasted praising it.

Such women come rarely. Truly, Margaret Long was gift of love to all who knew her and to all of Las Vegas, New Mexico.

The President said the immense costs of modern-day campaignuig may cause men and women of limited means to refrain from running for public office.
