' 'We
had the wonderful privilege of
visiting your Pasadcna collegc last
March while visiting with friends in
California. It gave us such a good out–
look on life and was a real inspiration
to talk with your students there. Al!
was Peace and

Iarmony instcad of the
continua! clamor for things not good
for the prescnt gcncration.... The stu–
dents were friendly, clean and so very
different from many on campus these
days. In all it was
a
long rcmembcred
experience."

Sympathy for Criminals -
Or Victims?
"!'ve been cooped up in prison for
almost eight years. What you have writ–
ten about crime and the cure for it
would have definitely deterred
me.
If
the people would quit fecling sorry for
the criminals and
turn
their sympathy
toward the victims and their loved ones,
then they might be able to administer
the laws as you explained.... But as
long as those who are handling the law
are putting themselves in the criminal's
position instead of the other way round,
crime is going to continue to get
worse."

"I
must confess that we elderly pen–

"l 'm 15 years old and have been
questioning for about two years now -
perhaps 13 could be called the 'age of
awareness.' I want to investigate my
convictions; pull them apart and re–
assemble them into something which I
can fully agree with and have proof to
back up. Only when this is accom–
plished will my mind be at peace with
my conscience."

Would you

"I
disagree with nearly everything
The
PLAIN TRUTH prints; however,
I
would still like to receivc it, because
dosing the mind to something is
undesirable. My question is this: Are
you ever wrong? Do you ever admit
igoorance to a question? Can you accept
criticism constructively, or do you
always disagree ?"

Worldwide Drug Menace
"I
am
surrounded with young people,
including one of my own daughters,
who are on marijuana and who insist it
is not harmful.
J
do not agree with
them, but
I
cannot persuade them to
give it up."
Mrs. M. B.,
Santa Cruz, California
"l've beco taking drugs since 1966
and I recently put them a11 clown. Jt all
started with marijuana and finally acid
and uppers and downers and many
other hallucinogenics. And fmally the
law caught up with me, and I still
didn't learn, so
I
kept on smoking weed
and taking chemicals. The next big
thrill was
I
finally went coo-coo or crazy
for a long period of time and really had
to put down drugs. And today
I'm
still
crazy as a loon because of it."

Growing Noise Pollution
"1
read your article 'The Deafening
Crescendo of Noise' (Noise Pollution).
Oh, how
J
wish
everyone
could read
this article - before it is too late, par–
ticularly about SST's (super sonic trans–
ports) !
1
lived in Cbicago, Illinois
when the super sonic boom was given
permission to be tested on a city for
repercussion etfects. At that time
I
worked nights and slept during the day.
Believe me,
J
had sorne rude awak–
enings! For those that have not expe–
rienced a series of 'sonic booms,' you
a re going to be in for a nerve-shattering
awakening."

Child Rearing
"My daughter was home for a visit in
August.
I
gave her your booklet on
Child Rearing. She has a 15-month-old
baby and
a
new Dr. Spock book.
I
should say
had
a Dr. Spock book.

quote from her letter: 'Matthew is a
well-behaved baby now, thanks to you.
That Armstrong's book is worth its
weight in diamonds.... l'm so glad you
gave it to me when you did. It has
helped us to be a much happier
fami ly.'"
