County residents should not pay for bus service in city

There ought to be a law against immodesty in public

EDITOR:

Cover up, young girls and women! Don’t you know baring your breasts in public and otherwise dressing indecently is not only a great offense against God, but a great offense against your fellow man and an occasion of sin to men who choose to do the right thing and keep themselves pure in thought and action. Remember our Lord said in Matthew 5:28 “that anyone who so much as looks with lust at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” This kind of sin will send a soul to hell forever if he or she dies in that state.

More of the blame for this corruption of society lies with most of the parents, any who would allow their daughters to dress scantily, and any mother who would set such a bad example by dressing that way herself. The department stores that sell this indecent clothing should be held responsible also because they are most certainly promoting it.

Nothing corrupts a society more than immodesty (dictionary defines immodesty as especially not displaying one’s body). To quote Pope Pius XII: “As long as modesty will not be put into practice, the society will continue to degrade. Society reveals what it is by the clothes it wears.”

Lastly, I hope anyone who agrees with this will contact their state and federal legislators (check with your board of elections for phone numbers or addresses) to have them present legislation to stop the spread of this immorality.

County residents should not pay for bus service in city

EDITOR:

I agree with Sebring Mayor John W. Smith’s letter to the editor.

Mahoning County now pays for Mill Creek Park, our hotel bed tax pays for the airport, our state taxes pay for Lake Milton State Park, and now they want us to pay for Youngstown bus service.

There seems to be two Mahoning counties, one for the city of Youngstown and one for the rest of the county. And they want the county to pay for everything.

I do not understand why the Mahoning County commissioners would vote to put this on the ballot when we the citizens of the other Mahoning County voted no.

I agree with Mayor Smith: Go to the polls, and vote no!
