To the
Editor: I received a copy of the most recent edition of The Paper and noted your plea for financial help to fund future issues of The Paper. I don’t expect that anyone will be knocking at my door because I’m in an apartment building. So I’m enclosing a check for $10.00. I don’t do this out of any guilty conscience after reading the article about a Washington University study on the neighborhood a while back. To be honest, I couldn’t afford to:
I am a transient in St. Louis, here temporarily to study at Wash U. (Urban Studies at that!). But I come from Detroit — the city — and I do believe strongly in neighborhood organizations. To me they are top priority, and what little money I make usually goes to community efforts. That’s why I’m giving. In Detroit I’d probably sign. “Yours for a better Detroit.” I’ll have to think of something more appropriate. In the meantime, thanks. Bob Neaton
Editor’s note: Upon receipt of this letter Bob Neaton was promptly recruited to The Paper’s staff. The Paper received a number of billets-doux with contributions enclosed. The cash keeps the paper going; the love notes do the same for the staff. We thank you. •
