Amazed^ First Thing
It amazed at the li^l^^^^ince the People'* Puiuill is
from William Sehofer. He
should make an excellent
student i for Nasser. Sehofer
has the Idea that anyone who
doesn't agree witiyhim is a
"modern Reedier Arnold." I
hope this ia not his idea of
democracy, ikf suggested deporting people who were "pro-
Israel." If pro-Israel means
taking Israel's side in this
matter. I am afraid there
would Slot be enough boat.-, to
take us all. D.E.S.

Jaywalking
Why can", jaywaIking be
stopped in Boston? Try and
Jay walk in San Francisco or
Wd**h.ngton and see what
happens. I tried it once and
thai was enough. Those cities
banning Jaywalking put teeth
in their ordinances. It would
be a good la*v for any city,
Boston  included.

4 Conspiracy?
As a parent of three teen
Bgert, I can't help hut wonder if there's a conspiracy going on to deliberately confuse
and corrupt teen agers. Take
a look at theater ads and
"Adult.-. Only" signs. What
age group does that attract?
Nearly all television and radio
shows" tell of teen age rebellion, crime, etc. Elvis Presley is highly prai.sed by a
man of Ed Sullivan's caliber,
as fine and clean, yet the
camera deliberately cut off
Elvis from the waist down oit
his recent appearance on TV.
Even some popular magazines
feature questionable ads for
their articles. I am not. a
prude, but we are being -saturated lately with this sort of
thing. Try as they may,
parent.*, churches and schools
cannot fight it unless the entertainment world will sincerely try to help us.

King Saud
When I read of the lavish
receptmn that King Saud received, it made my blood boil.
Our forefathers came to
America for freedom of worship. Then we fought the
Civil W*ar over the sWlvery issue. Tod»' in tlio/zOth century In Saudi .\un>\:i a Catholic priest Is foroidden to say
Mass and U>wish servicemen
are barred from U. S. bases.
How can a man who is anti-
Catholic and anti-Jewish be
welcomed in a freedom-loving
fcountry like America? The
Pre<xdent fthould read him our
Four Freedoms.

Three Year Job
Your paper is to be highly
commended on its editorial,
"Unfair to Teachers.'' I am
one of the temporary teachers
who served for three years
and then had to relinquish the
profession for which I trained
for a career in the husir.ess
world, I would like to know of
any other profession tl.af
lorces one to abandon their
work simply for having
worked faithfully fur three
ye; is. It is not teacher short-
ege in Boston, but short
sightedness on the part of the
superintendent and the school
committee. Let's hope that
members of the present com-
r..itec will correct this injustice and reward instead of
penalize those who serve for
three years. J. M

Djeserves Praise
Your editorial, "Unfair to
Teachers," deserves commendation. It is a commentao' on
the school authorities in our
fair city, that Boston dismi-sscs
good teachers for rendering
three successive years of teaching. Your editorial neglected to
mention a very important fact
that temporary teachers have no
pension and are not covered by
social security. I hope that the
present school committee will
correct this injustice, both for
the sake of temporary teachers and the pupils in the Boston schools. * M. H.

Tax Bites
AM this *a.P: about a sales
tax as a relief Irom income
and real estate taxes is ridiculous. a^UaCe the crigin of taxes,
who cm recal. a tax lo eliminate ■■ tax? A certain desert lizard when ;'t bites, is said
to hold on unt:. sunset. A tax
bite is the same. Our forefathers threw tea Into Boston
Harbor as a protest against
unfair taxation. Our onlyJiope
is to remov* politicians |who
vote themselves an annu
.raise. DEE <
