Missed Opportunity In S. Kingston, Chester Smolski
Missed Opportunity In S. Kingston, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"They were well dressed, although informally. They came with their spouses. They were articulate, educated, and generally did not raise their voices. They looked like solid middle-class Americans--homemakers, civic-minded, and concerned citizens, so it was difficult to understand their reaction to the proposed housing development."
Minorities, Cities To Bear Brunt Of Federal Cutbacks, Chester Smolski
Minorities, Cities To Bear Brunt Of Federal Cutbacks, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The sad story of the 4,500 Rhode Island families whose welfare benefits will be reduced or ended with this current 1982 fiscal year should make us profoundly aware of the plight of the poor.

Downtown Shopping By The Elderly, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It was their last meeting of the year. Some came to hear a lecture on United States foreign policy, some to study French or Shakespeare, some to hear a discussion on Iran, and some came to do line dancing. It was also an opportunity to meet friends, have lunch together, and, perhaps, do some shopping. Who are these actively involved people? They are the elderly."
Elderly Can Bring Benefits To Downtown, Chester Smolski
Elderly Can Bring Benefits To Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The elderly are becoming an increasingly influential group in our society. Recent outpourings of mail and telegrams to representatives in Washington in response to government-proposed cuts in Social Security underscored this ability to influence chance. Congressional members are listening to the growing numbers of elderly who are making their voices heard through their votes."
Immigrants Can Contribute More Than Mere Numbers, Chester Smolski
