Letters To The Editor
Please Stop and Think It Oyer
Here we ask, “Why do parents
and teachers allow the young
youth of this-town to be allowed
to’ go around with shot and sling
shooting down the innocent .birds
which , have just returned from ’
the Sunny South after being away
for the whiter?” .. U
If these youth don’t appreciate
the welcome notes of cheer,
others do. Why foe allowed to
shoot clown the inocent birds?
Parents , and teachers should , try *’
and make these youth realize the
cruel and selfish deeds they are
taking, pleasure out of—and let
it be soon stopped. •• ' ,
“BIRD LOVER”.
