LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Kudos to Jasper

I wish to express my gratitude to THE NEW AMERICAN for having such a fine staff of writers. Writers whom we can depend upon for their accuracy. With truth as our only weapon, it is wonderful to have it in the form of THE NEW AMERICAN.

My most sincere appreciation for William F. Jasper. The article "High and Dry in the Klamath Basin" (September 10th issue) is greatly appreciated by many, and will provide many with solid information.

It was my great honor to meet William Jasper at Klamath. He did not just compile an article and then leave town. He spent lots of time and energy speaking with many, many people, after the article was completed. Bill brought a large box of outdated issues of THE NEW AMERICAN and The John Birch Society Bulletin for distribution. He also provided many copies of his just-finished article on the Klamath Basin. People were very pleased to receive these copies.

I joined him in handing out all but a very few bulletins that afternoon. The people at the Klamath rally were eager to receive the articles, magazines, and bulletins. It presented a wonderful opportunity to tell people about the magazine and its reliability and about the John Birch Society.

Bill Jasper's writing and his work among the people were quite inspirational. He is indeed, in my book, a "New American" hero.
