Raleigh, Aug. 4—A few months ago the Carolina Jeffersonian got into a controversy with the Red Cross Chapter of Wake county about putting a Catholic into their cafeteria as the head, when a good American lady should have been put in charge. The Carolina Jeffersonian charged that Catholics were non-Americans.
Unknowingly, the Carolina Jeffersonian solicitor approached and manager and after her usual introduction proceeded to ask her if she would like to subscribe to the paper. The manager said that she did not and furthermore had no intention of ever subscribing same; that the paper was full of filth and rot, and as there were so many newspapers and magazines that were non-radical and clean that she thought she would continue to read same. She also contended that the paper was absolutely not any good from a religious standpoint. (Perhaps not from the standpoint of a Roman Catholic.)
The Carolina Jeffersonian solicitor, like any other lady, thanked her for the interview and went out, wondering how the good lady could ever get so down on a good American newspaper, when there were so many yellow sheets being printed by the radical Catholics.
