NEWS lost
‘innocence’

- Dear Editor:

I don’t care for ‘the, North
Shore News any ‘more, .The
paper has lost its. innocence
and community spirit.. My

distaste started. when ‘Doug:
Collins. started attacking .
‘ethnic groups. and women’s
- groups.

Collins’ ‘controver-
sial writings “have. changed

the tone and- principles of :

the paper -

~ Why you support this kind”
of opinion is’ beyond.- me. |
‘Freedom ‘of. the -Press- is; a.

weak excuse, considering
that he. is» making-.fun of

colored people. and. women *S..

rights.
