Some time these persons bring

f much as I would like to do so 1
just file these requests and d o
nothing about them, because my

neither is it a gossip column.- As
long as I write I will try to kegp

or from personal scandal, us
I lotur as it -does?not-affect the neo

e do what little ^rooci I can for my

and nation in general, and I rea
f lize that this cannot be done by
s trying to tocpose and scandalize
the leadership of our race. "Wt
have all fallen short of the goot
we would like to do." I do not
think there is one sane readei
_ who can truthfully say that they
have reached that point of peri'ec

I am above making ?mistakes
there is no trace of skeletons if

if I am ever convinced that ai
any time an exposing of any per
soil would help the aiharuenieiv

, would .not hesitate to attack any
