I had known that die. material available on bur news stadds was obscene or smutty, as your paper tends to call it, but I was absolutely, amazed that it had degenerated to such filthy filth as was pointed out The audience and myself sat in stunned disbelief as he read from paper back books and magazines purchased from our local stores. , I feel that you newspaper people do the community an injustice when you refer to this type of material as smut it is the lowest type of filth and the sooner you call it by its correct name, the sooner it will find its rightful place in toe gutter. . The people have no right to hold their heads high and point with pride to what they stand for when such filth is being dlstributed to pervert-th- i minds and destroy die souls of men. How irrespon sible can a people get-t- o- allow this to continue in our cities? It is the obligation of each person to take action against tills deplorable condition. T.
