LETTERS
Church people were not or
ganized in opposition to her
activity 15 years ago: perhaps
they are beginning to get
organized now. She might be
able to prevent the broadcast
ing or televising of any
Christian programs in the
future: programs which mean
so much to so many, especial
ly to invalids, to shutins. to the
elderly and to receptive child
ren, also.
How would you like to have
your family miss the lovely
Christmas music, the beauti
ful dramas that are being sent
out during this season? Do
you want to miss seeing or
hearing programs related to
Christmas or Easter or to
other Christian traditions
from now on?
Folks of Morrow County.
TO EDITOR
through the leadership of their
various churches, are ready to
join organized opposition to
Atheist O'Hair. They wonder
if she is acting just like she
fears other people of other
beliefs might act? Is she
wanting to force her belief on
everyone? So far she has
made so much progress just
because the mass of citizens
has not really had its aware
ness aroused. Maybe she will
try to force book burning next.
Americans appreciate that
this country was founded by
patriots who put the freedom
of individual choice as to
religion first among their
reasons for wanting a new
dwelling place. They realize
that our national constitution
wisely promises separation of
church and state, primarily in

to prevent any one church
from becoming too strong and
leading to an official, national

atheist, or any one of any
particular faith, has the right
to try to force all others from

If you agree with the above,

Local librarian
offers tips on
choosing books
(Editor's note: Sue Jones.
Librarian at Heppner Elemen
tary and Junior High schools
has written the following
feature on selecting children's
books. Jones offers tips given
from Betsy Hearne. children's
book review editor for the
American Library Associ
ation.) "The first tip. is to trust
yourself. If you enjoy a book,
your children will also enjoy
it. This kind of personal
involvement in both book and
child lasts long past the
picture book state." said
Hearne.
Also to be considered, is
what type of book to buy for
what age. For ages two to six.
picture books are a good
choice as they are meant to be
read aloud and the pictures
can be pored over together,
said Hearne. Ages seven to
nine enjoy beginning-to-read
books with short chapters,
some illustrations, simple
vocabulary and enlarged type.
The ten to thirteen year-old
group enjoys a wide range of
fiction and non fiction, depen
ding on the child's interests
and reading ease. Non-fiction
poetry and folklore interest all
ages, she added.
Knowing someone's inter
ests or hobbies will also aid in
choosing a good book. "Your
own involvement is the key to
the perfect book selection,"
recommended Hearne.

specific suggestions, call Sue
