Well, Dave Nolanl You
asked for it. In your letter
you mentioned as a future
topic, Anyone who has over
four children should be shot"
What right have you to make
such a statement? / think
you are utterly ridiculous in
saying such a thing when it
is none of your business
anyway. Some of your Sug-
geStions were pretty intelli-
gent, but I think you must
be pretty narrow minded to
make such a statement as
that. 1 agree that people
with no means of properly
supporting their children
should not have them, but
this still leaves the people
who can afford children.
Why shouldn't they have
them?
SUE DUPUIS.
After reading Dave Nolan's
statements Gin Playback) I
don't think he knows what
he's talking about. But most
Of all l disagree with the
first one and the seventh
one: Anyone who has over
four children should be
shot," "A dictatorship is the
best form of government for
q worldwide Setup."
Well, I'd like to tell you
that we have six in our
family and we are all very
happy. Most Of the teen
ayers I go with come from
large families and they are
very happy, too.
Also. what are you, a
Communist" or what? Just
look what Hitler did and you
call that the best form Of
