READERS SAY
Newark
"The anide in the December PLAIN
TRUTH, 'Newark: A Dying City' really
hit
home.
1
live in this blotch and
cer–
tainJy cannot deny a word Mr. Whikehart
wrote. Being employed by the city itself,
1
have firsthand knowledge of the finan–
cia! state of Newark.
It
is just as you men–
tioned in the article, an economic crisis.
The schools are nothing short of insti tu–
tions of confusion and corruption. Teachers
using drugs, actually have affairs with stu–
dents, careless attitudes on uaining and
treating students prevail. This could go on
and on. lt's obvious that most of us who
work here are not happy - the l?roduct of
our work will testify to that. It 1s hard to
believe that this was once a beautiful, quiet
country area years ago. Thank you for a
very straight-forward, factual article."
Bill W.,
Newark, New J ersey
"I
have just read the December
1971
issue of
Tbe
PLAIN TRUTH, and in my
estimation it is one of the best magazines
publisbed. Your articles about Newark very
vividly sum up a situation we are con–
standy aware of because we live in a
suburb, only
10
miles to the north of
Newark."

"Thank you for sending the November
issue of
The
PLAIN TRUTH. The article
about President el Sadat is indeed very
inreresting, and we appreciate your con–
sideration. Please accept my best personal
regards."

Culture and lnformation

Caution: Flammable
"The subject of flammable fabrics has
been of special interest to me since
1
have
been doing graduate research in this arca.
1
was especially pleased to see that ' llam·
mable' clothing was mentioned in the
'What You Can Do .. .' section of the
December
1971
PLAIN TRUTH.
1
agree
that taking proper safety precautions
around fires is the ONLY way to stop
property damage, injuries, and deaths due
to textile-related fires.
Tbe
PLAIN TRUTH
is a wonderful magazine and l am very
happy to see its contents cover the variety
of subjects so vital to family living today.' '

"Your response to a reader's letter
in
the November issue of
Tbe
PLAIN
TRUTH did not ring true, so
1
wrote to
the British Chancellor of the Exchequer
for comments on your allegation that Great
Britain owes the U.S. $8 billion fcom
World War
1,
and more since Wocld War
II. The reply from the Treasury puts the
matter into perspective: The debt from
Wocld War 1 was $4368 miUion - a little
more than half your figure - but this debt
is generally regarded as lapsed, following
the Hoover moratorium of
1931
and the
Lausanne Conference of
1932.
Neither the
UK nor any otber Eucopean countcy have
made any repayment since then on their
then existing debts. Moreover, the lending
was not all done by the U.S.
$15,716
mil–
lion was then owed to the UK by iu allies,
and repayment of these loans has been
suspended since
1931.
Regarding Wocld
War II, the T reasury tells me that $4052
million is sti ll owed by the UK to the U.S.,
but tbat this debt is still being repaid."

"1
vecy much enjoyed the Edi tor's com·
ments in the November issue of
Tbe
PLAJN TRUTH. In the editorial, he men–
tioned the death of such well known maga–
zines as
l.AJok, Satmday Evming Post, Col–
liers,
etc. Like most people,
1
too believed
al! these magazines had ceased publica–
tion. However, after reading the editorial,
1
was sucprised to
see
the
Saturday Eve11Í11g
Post
on a newsstand. The 'old'
Saturday
Eve11ing Post
had ceased publication, but
the Curtís Publishing Company revived it
again on a quarterly basis.
lt
is a beautiful
magazine, about
160
pages, with an en–
tirely new format."
