Book Lynching

Mason Butchers sefappointment as literary

shocking manifestation of book-ynching in county

The police intimidation of private booksellers
without court decision on which to base their Ges-
tapo-like tactics is bad enough
The county managers order to remove copies of
the book from the county's public libraries on no
basis other than his own likes and dslkes runs d-
rectly contrary to the First Amendment to the Con-
stituton.
BY what authority does Mason Butcher set him.

may read in their libraries? Through what reas-
onng does he arrive at the conclusion that we are UNI
able to judge for ourselves what should and should
not read?
The proper course for any public official to follow
In this matter is to obtain full court hearing and
decision before going off half-cocked. This is the
American way-a way based on laws, not men, Any
other procedure is reminiscent of Hiter's book-burn
ings.

themselves to be treated like ignorant children by

School spirit is marvellous thing. In many ways
1t can help boost the tenor of the school and the CON-
munity. However school spirit goes too far when it
results in acts of vandalism. Painting on school or
destroying property in the name of school spirit is
senseless This kind of tonfoolery must be stopped
It's disgraceful that small but loud minority can
spoil the reputation of a high school. These over
enthusiastic students cost the community needless
expenditure of funds and result in the loss of the Of
tending schools cherished reputation These childish
FRANKS have put heavy expense on the student
governments, administration, and police department,
not to mention the strain on the county taxpayers
recent act Of vandalism cost the county be-
tween four and five hundred dollars This money might
have been used for books or supplies but instead was
used to remove paint spread on school building by
some misguided students The police department must
use much needed detective force to apprehend these
culprits
The police department has properly requested that
school authorities cancel nerschoo games when acts
of vandalism occur. This policy should warn any
woud-be vandals that their continuing mischief will
boomerang

The casual reader might say to himself,
"Now, that's a curious title" or he might
think, whats the point in hooking up those
two troublesome ideas?" The latter observa-
ton is closer to the target because both of
these subjects are troublesome" They trouble
us because they won't go away if we close our
eyes and they don't completely disappear If
we angrily deny that they exist. At this
pointI would like to give away trade secret.
Coming from the author of one of the Wash
ington area nice controversial columns, this
secret can be considered a pittfall to avoid
or gimmick to improve upon In any event
proper fitting can achieve number of things.

is, it can recall in a few words an editorial

and see what is going on Occasionally it can

1t will be called sloppy Citizens Arise"
Enough, right now of that What about Fall
out Shelters and Dirty Books?"
Both of these topics are much discussed
these days. Each represents different facet
of a common problem Simply stated it is the
dilemma faced by idealistic men in their de.
Tense Of principle against unprincipled attack.
In this situation, idealism contains the seeds
of its own destruction. If we cannot become
practical enough to choose, when necessary
between the lessor of evils then history will
probably record that the midtwentieth cen.
fury was the twilight of western civilization.
Last weeks breakdown on the sale of
'Tropic of Cancer in Montgomery County
Maryland, was followed by similar action in
neghboring Jurisdictions. 1t has precipitated
editorial comment for and against the move
in all the news media in the Washington
area. 1t is causing people to look askance at
the lacivious "sex' magazines which crowd
the racks of their neighboring new stands. 1t
makes them unhappy because they know that
this filth is available to and is circulated
among the immature adults who attend our
High Schools and Junior Highs. They know
that it is a degenerating influence and they
just hope that their kids aren't in on it. To
sweep the news stands clean is easier said
than done. One runs afoul of the courts, the
knotty, practical problem of censorship and
