To the editor,

It is a shame a veteran can not smoke in his own veterans' club.

I know of a veteran who was a POW in World War II who has to stay outide his veterans' club to have a smoke. Is this justice? No. No.

People who support this no smoking law should be made to go to the next conflict or war and see what it is to give his or her time to defend other person's rights.

You are not compelled to go in to a club of such, so if you do not like the surroundings don't go to the club.

Signed, Paul H. (Doc) DuBois, Cobden

To our community,

The Union County Christmas project was again a great success.

That success was due to the wonderful community that we live in.

Our community has been working together for more than 20 years to make Christmas better for those in need.

Our churches, civic groups and clubs, businesses, and individuals all come together to make this project work.

Each year we have special people, some we know and some who like to stay anonymous, who continue to support the project and the angel tree.

Union County polling places will be monitored on Election Day, Tuesday, Feb. 2.

Union County State's Attorney Tyler R. Edmonds and Union County Sheriff David Livesay announced Monday that their offices will be teaming up to monitor local polling places.

Edmonds and Livesay announced in a joint news release that three teams "will be visiting polling places throughout the county to ensure that everyone's right to vote is protected and that no improper activity occurs in or around polling places."
