Another viewpoint

Dear Editor: May I state another viewpoint in answer to Mrs. Dale Sorensen's letter regarding some of the pictures of the youth baseball and soft ball teams being eliminated from the paper? She states “it would be a lot more interesting to read about our local youth instead of some little town in N.Y. etc.” which she never heard of. WRONG, Mrs. Sorensen There are those of us in other states who receive the paper and couldn’t care less about the pictures and write ups about the youth teams, but turn the pages looking for news of interest to an older group of subscribers. It is appalling that anyone's horizons would be so narrow Are you sure it is not Mama or Gramdma who looks

avidly for the youngsters pictures? I have enjoyed the Bicentennial effort of The Mail-Journal contacting other towns of the same names in the United States (that Mrs. Sorensen never heard of, she says). Many of us have heard of them and have been there. For instance the item and pictures from Milford Center, Ohio, a little town not far from where I now live. I sent the page on to friends in Marietta. Ohio, who, at one time lived in Milford Center, being on the school faculty there. They were delighted to receive the write up. Many subscribers look forward to the Baumgartners "minutely detailed’’ accounts of their travels with the newspaper group

each year, including me. So get with it, Mrs. Sorensen There really is news to be published other than school and Little League. Before I moved away from Lake Wawasee I heard the emark over and over again — “There’s nothing but school news in The Mail-Journal anymore ”. However. I wish to end on a friendly note — that all your Little Leaguers turn out to be Johnny Benchs, Joe Morgans. Hank Aarons, or Pete Roses. Sincerely. Mrs. James. B. Ridgeway 208 Berwick Drive, Urbana.
