Of organized opposition to place up
on the statute books of Indiana our
present housing law. 1t is not ideal,
but the best she could get through.
1t is strong enough to meet with
great opposition and needs TO be pro-

We have in South Bend a new
building code for the control of flu
ture building operations, for which
we are truly thankful, but have we
any ordinance or law looking TO the
abolishing Of our present unfit tene-

that our city administration will un-

cleared our city of physical and
moral evils we cannot consistently

Editor News-Times:
l. too, would like TO add a second
to Albert CoOnly's objection TO the
manner in which the Open Forum
is conducted. or, at least. to the
manner in which last Sundays
meeting was conducted.
1t brings the question. When is an
Open Forum NOT an open Forum 20
Since this is brought before the
people of South Bend as an Open
Forum to which the people of the
city are invited and asked 70 take
part. my opinion is that il should be
conducted just as any other open
Forum Sunday nights meeting re-
minded me somewhat OF school
debate we had in the fifth grade.
when each child had his little piece
to speak in the form Of a debate. but
the whole school knew beforehand
just what argument each would put
up and there was nothing original
about the thing. One bright boy
asked. Teacher. why don't we just
call this a dialogue instead Of a de-
bate?"
was a little disappointed that I
was not given an opportunity 10 ask
a question TO bring out a point
which I felt Mrs. Bass had omitted
to mention. A great work her club
has done in Chicago. in which the
Suffrage association played the lead
ing part. However. II seemed that
only one was recognized from each
part Of the house. and the Rev. Mr..
Decker's eyes seemed unable 10
focus themselves upon any but the
three speakers who We're successful

Perhaps 1 am misjudging. and
that IL was purely an accident. But.
with Mr.. Coonley, / would like 10
see the debates allowed from the
floor. with only the restrictions OF
courtesy.

Open Forum movement and would
like 10 have the South Bend Forum
succeed in performing the functions
for which I believe il was originally
intended.

You would write Am having a good

your luck because you had 10 wait

include all your friends and when
YOU came home would call on every

a postcard sent 10 an enemy

and kisses or hand shakes we're in

one home. and every time you did,

many rooms there were in the white

sending postcards TO any but your
