From Our
Readers
On front page of your paper is a
news story. "Church Denounces
Segregation Action". The news
story contains the following:
Segregation and unification of
schools and churches, 87 words.
Segregation only, 105 words, unifi
cation of the southern and northern
branches of the Presbyterian
Churches, 151 words
Who is responsible for this slant
ed and bias headline? If your writer
had to use the word denounce,
should not unification follow in
stead of segregation? The two
main subject contained 226 words,
the headline subject only 105 of
these words, the main subject not
shown in headline contains 161
words.
As you know a great many read
ers read the headlines only, there
fore I say that story is slanted.
Don't you think that the word "Op
pose" would be the correct' word
to use concerning both subjects
covered by this story and the reso
lutions drawn up by the church?
A few words concerning the reso
lution Concerning unification they
are everlastingly right. Through
raised a Presbyterian, circum
stances caused me to join the
Methodist Church. A few years a
go we Southern Methodists joined
up with the Northern church and
the Southern Methodists went down
the drain. We are right where the
Presbyterians fear they would go if
they united with the Northern
Church.
Southern Presbyterian and Bap
tist, stay as you are. We are still
wearing a yoke of oppression and
discrimination put on us durning
