Dear Source:
I do not agree with Mr. Raymonds opinions in reference to the 4th of July article written by Mr. Kossler. He does make a valid point that articles should be descriptive and detailed when written, however it is excessive and unnecessary to mention that from one end of the waterfront to the other, the unmistakable, sweetly pungent aroma of weed punctuated the air sporadically here and there, but by no means everywhere. Describing marijuana in such a way promotes an illegal activity and gives the impression that it is acceptable.
Though Mr. Kossler was trying to make the article attractive and interesting, I think there are many things that should have been left out of his writing.
