ANOTHEN ANSWERby 8111 Concannon

The walk wlII uenefit Wey-mouth. Not only 1s money beinggiven to -a worthy cause overseas rbut t+2 .5/6 of the noney colleeted'uill be glven to the school forthe mentally retarded whleh lsbeing bu1lt on Maln Street rlghthere 1n Weynouth. Grantedr p€x-haps thls walk is overJ-ookingrrde factotr segregatlon in ourtown, but we are taking care ofone problemo that being hunger,What have you done to help theeause of segregation in ourSown? If you were that concernedyou yourself could organize somesort of project to help theNegro not only here, but every-where.

Naturally thls walk hasnothlng to do wlth segregation lfit is eonce?ned wlth hunger.Thatrs only log1eaI.

And, true, Weymouth being aduIl place is up to the lndlvid-ual. I personally flnd lt agood place to 1lve. I clo notconslder myself a prlsoner, norr.r111 I ever regret llvlng here,

PEACE,
