Lettersto the Editor

Editor: Dear Editor.

I love my car, and you're not going
to get me to takethe bus.
In your newspaperlast week,you
saidthat air pollution from our carsand
factoriesis making acid rain and kill-
ing our fish. But thatcan't be right!
Here'swhy: Il acid rain is fallingon
the Rafta River, then it must be falling
on the Fo andMissterssippi
Acid rain rnakeslakesclcar,becauseit
kills living things,includingalgae.The
Raftalooksclcar,but the Missterssippi

Thank you for your suggestionin
last week'snewspaperto put scrubbers
on our smokestacksto cut down on our
pollution. We want to pollute the air
as little as possible,but we area busi-
ness,andwe haveto makea profit. The
scrubbersyou suggestwould cut pol-
Iution,but they would cost too much
Riverstoo. moneyfor our company.We havewon
an awardfbr cleaningup our pollution
of the,Missterssippi Rivcr, so we rc-
ally do care.
Thanksagain,
