Subscription Rate: $4 per year Vol. 75 No, 19 May 4, 1975 Advertising Mgr. a Letters to Editor Dear Editor: The April 30th issue of the Susquehanna Bulletin con- tained an example of your journalism which definitely lacked one of the prime requirements of first rate reporting, that being accu- racy of facts! Being a native of Marietta and living most of my 42 years on Front Street, I find some of your statements an irritating violation against my household and my neighbors who form a line from the east end to the west end. 1 know I have never lived in a slum area and actually never had the occasion to know of anyone who had that impression among my neighbors. Surely the idea of being ashamed of my home or the area of its location would be most irrational. This last thought relates also to the so-called pre-restoration era. In order to correct your false impressions, may | remind you that Front Street was never a line of dilapi- dated and condemned hou- ses, and it never was a slum area in which the residents thereof were ashamed. Perhaps you were referr- ing solely to the general havoc as the result of the natural disaster called ‘‘Ag- nes?’ If so, you neglected to state this fact in your article, and if you did, the inaccuracy would still prevail since only a small percentage were condemned as a result of the flood, and besides flood damage has positively no relation to the word ‘‘slum!”’ Your editorial and bottom page sketch has caused quite a few people to resent your efforts. This could have been avoided if you would have utilized simple consideration of others and their property. Personally, 1 feel your seemingly historical venture was executed in very poor taste, and certainly should not be looked upon with pride by the writer or the Bulletin Staff. I sincerely sense the composer of the article in question may not even be satisfied with his own home or its location! In closing, 1 feel you should know that on the 8th of October, 1974, the Mari- etta Lions Club presented a Certificate of Appreciation to my family. The citation reads, ‘‘earned by exemplary dedication to the American ideal that an individual effort can shape a community; truly an inspiration to all!”’ Sincerely, Jack S. Frey 10 West Front Street Marietta, Pa. 17547 Girl Scout news “Let It Begin Here,” a bicentennial celebration of the Witness Tree District of Penn Laurel Girl Scout Council, will be held on Saturday, May 17, at Man- heim Park.
