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
