Letters To
The Editor

Dear SlrS.
For long time I have sus-
pected that my little son Ignatz
was being influenced by insidious
propaganda. But imagine my hor-
ror when I realized the full extent
of his mental pollution. Today /
found, securely hidden under his
mattress, copy of Emerson's
Essays, God alone knows what
strange ideas are seething now in
my child's head. The reading of
Emerson can only lead to ques-
tioning, thinking, and ultimately
yes, though I shudder to say it
to an open mind. Mothers, i'm
plore you-sooner kill your own
flesh and blood than see it come
to this. If your child is hiding
books by Emerson, Paine, Whit
man, or Walt Kelley in his dresser
drawers destroy them as the UNI
American trash that they are.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Wiener Valid, Jr.

bers of the American Legion
Auxiliary and volunteer work
ers will offer the little red pop
py on the streets of Swan

war dead while assisting the
living. Contributes go to the
welfare activities of the Amer
lean Legion and Auxiliary; all
funds are used for the aid OF
disabled veterans, their fam
lilies, and the families of deceas-
ed servicemen.
