T HAVE been a reader Of your pa
j per many years. and the ed
itorial page IS my favorite.
I admire your courage and atti-
tude on various issues. Mrs. Wal
ter D. Ferguson, I believe, is one OF
the smartest women in the country.
end her column is permanent rec
ord Of the coming greatness of the
female sex
We hear a lot of criticism of
women these DAYS, but when they
have leaders Of this type, it would
be unfair to class them as all the
same.
Haywood Broun is a great writer.
Personally. I can't always agree with
him, but l know millions do.
Peoples Voice" always has been
an interesting column to me, as it
gives one an opportunity to study
human nature at different angles
and at close range.
We all know conditions are not
as they should be. but why not boost
instead Of knock? What good does
1t do to condemn?
Don't 60 around throwing mud at
our government, our President, our
Governor nor our taxes. Let's don't
be faulthnders, as conditions are
much worse in other parts of the
world than they are here. Boost
ing will help; knocking will not.

+ AM Times reader and have
Il been for years. Knowing what
helping hand The Times has
taken in other matters, 1 am asking
you to publish my letter and give
lovers of sport some help.
There is a little river, the Mus
catatuck, running east and west
across the southern part of Indi-
ana, the boundary between Wash
ington and Jackson counties. 1t
was one OF the best fishing streams
in the state until few years ago,
when the great politician, Mr. Nor
gan, started a canning factory on
this stream in the neighborhood of
Crothersville.
This concern has been dumping
acid and refuse into the stream,
killing carloads of fish, and no one
seems big enough to stop him. 1
have talked to the game wardens of
this neighborhood and they say
they can not do a thing,
It must be some land owner or
come person wanting to pay his own
court expenses, and those same
wardens would ride us if we cast a
line and did not have license, or
II we pulled a net and managed to
catch a carp or two. Why?
They don't get by with this in
other streams in our 7tate, so why
Morgan? Get him, Timesl
H. r. FEAR.
Fdif0r Times
I JUST have read in an Indian
Il apOliS paper where a certain vet
Grams organization is calling upon
anti-bonus veterans to unite, stating
that many veterans are leaving the
American Legion for the stand it
has taken. That surely is a big
laugh, when you know and I know
that if a vote were taken, IS per
cent would be for the bonus
They do not stop to think that
thousands of us do not belong to
any organization. 1 fought hard
against the Legion for the stand it
took against the bonus. But now
that the Legion has taken the stand
for it, and l think you and 1 should
hook up with the legion to show
these other fellows they don't know
what they are talking about.
I drew the so per cent coming to
me and almost paid for my home
and have been keeping relatives for
the last two years. If I get the
other so per cent, I have lot OF
building and remOdelling to be done
by men in my neighborhood who
haven't worked for more than over a
year. Now answer me this, comrade
Who is realizing most out of my
bonus, my neighbor or me?'
If you have the charity in your
heart that God said was the greatest
thing of all, you will print this in
the column allotted to us. If il
hadn't been for the so per cent We
drew last year. there would have
been real calamity last winter
